Peterw42 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) Still very confused why people are mentioning or discussing TM28. Is there anywhere in Thailand where TM28 is enforced ??? Are people being asked for them ? Are people being fined for not having one, refused 90 day reports or extensions for not having one ??? Maybe I missed the memo but as far as I know its not enforced anywhere, there are no fines or issues at immigration for not having one etc. The only time its ever required, if at all, is to change your permanent address, and even then there are no fines being levied etc. If it is being enforced, where ? How are they checked, What is the penalty? Why are we even discussing it ? Edited September 19, 2019 by Peterw42 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 There was a recent news article in the Phuket news that immigration there was going to start enforcing it. There are signs up at many immigration office about section 37 for that the TM28 is for. I don't recall any recent reports of anybody being fined for not doing a TM28. The fine for it can be up to a max of 5000 baht. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just clouds the already confusing TM30 issues. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the are using section 37 reporting as a justification for TM30 reporting under section 38. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwardflory Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) When I moved from the BKK area to Korat TM-28, 30 and 47 just to be on safe side - same day. I do not want a ding on my IO file. Did the same when I moved from Pattaya to BKK, and got charged 20 or 30bt for (?)stamps put on some (?)paper - all done same day.

geisha Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I was told in plain English that if I didn’t have my TM 28 slip in my passport I wouldn’t get an extension on my SETV Visa nor Visa Exempt. Jomtien last March. Has this changed ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jomtien has never asked for TM28 receipt, you are possibly confusing it with a TM30 that jomtien does require for TV or visa exempt extension. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. In my case. I did a properly completed TM 30 after I returned from Malta in August and renewed my annual extention yesterday in Jomtien. No problem. Your experience may differ. Best wishes.

geisha Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Peterw42. Hi, just help me out here. When I went for an extension on my SETV visa 2 years ago, i was told I needed the “ Receipt of Notification” slip of paper which I duly filled in. I also gave them the photo copy that my condo office had declared me. I was told I needed this IF asking for an extension on my tourist visa or visa exempt. I had this confirmed by the English speaking man that works there ! I have been doing this for 2 years running on my arrival.The form says Notification formfor house master ,owner or the possessor of the Residence where Alien has stayed. The slip of paper they staple in pp says Receipt of Notification. What form is this if not TM28 ? I Don t want to risk being refused an extension. JOmtien IO. I rent same condo 3 months every year.

geisha Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 So , for Jomtien to accept my extension, I still have to go there on my initial arrival and fill in this form, and get the slip stapled in pp ? Plus the copy the condo office gives me of her declaration online , passport copies , visa page 1900B etc. Thanks for these explications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geisha Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I think the girl in IO gave me the TM30 by mistake.Apparently, they look the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
