SamuiAddict Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 As the title says, what do I need to do when I go up country - reporting my whereabouts etc. How do I do this, is it online? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralf001 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Hotel or House Master are the ones to fill out and submit the TM30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack54 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 OP, you do nothing. If your 90 day report is due then do it online or via mail. You only need to file a TM30 if you change your address. Traveling throughout Thailand and even overseas requires nothing. Note if you exit Thailand and reenter with new visa or visa exempt then you would need file a TM30. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuiAddict Posted February 12, 2022 Author Share Posted February 12, 2022 So I'm at my wifes parents at the moment, got here this morning, nothing needs to be done? FYI - we just tried registering her father on that horrible TM30 website, my god it's annoying. Finally got the form completed, submitted it but now have no login ID/pass etc?! Tried to do a password reminder thing and says the details we've literally just used are incorrect ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to clarify. How did you enter Thailand. What visa or extension do you currently have. What address did you previously use for 90 day reports etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immigration issued a regulation in June of 2020 for TM30 reporting. It is only needed if you enter with a new visa or change addresses. 9 minutes ago, SamuiAddict said: Our rented house in Samui - landlord takes care of this there They do not need to do one either when your return to Samui. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isan Farang Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Just checking how it would work for myself. My 1 year retirement is done in Ubon using my Ubon address. We also have a house in Chiang Rai, on both houses my wife is the owner. lets say online is not working and i am in CR when the 90 day report is due, would i need to go with my wife to the CR IO and make the report there and then when i return to Ubon go to the IO there and inform them i have returned.

Do your 90 day report online. New site works good. See: https://tm47.immigration.go.th/tm47/#/login It took Ubon immigration about 7 hours to approve my report earlier this month. No need to need to deal with submitting a new TM30 report with your 90 day report at CR immigration and another one at Ubon immigration. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to it next week if you want to. You have a 7 day window to do your 90 day report in person after the report date. You will have until the 25th to do the report. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of when your obtaining your extension just do your 90 day report via online and if that's not working do it via post. Obviously your return envelope for mail report is addressed to your UR home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do your 90 report from anywhere in Thailand using online or mail. TM30 is only needed to change your address on file. You can even exit and reenter Thailand without doing a TM30. Unless you reenter on new visa or visa exempt. Reentry Permit or same visa = no TM30. I've done several from another province 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done several from another province Pity the I.Os , cos in my case recently I had to renew my driving licence and had to go the Immigration Office for papers .The tm30 was not in my pp , the IO made a fuss and after an hour or so made out a new one . I had only been back for 1 week and entered on a re-entry permit on a non o . The IO even went and spoke to the big boss who instructed the IO to make a new tm30 . Would you have stood your ground and made them lose face ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not North Korea and no block warden will report you. Like many others I do a few trips per year and never care about "reporting" that.

Hard to believe now that it was previously a requirement. Was it 2020 June that rule was changed?. Now we live in hope that 90 day reports can get the Kibosh.

I have a similar situation, house in two provinces, and flit between them. Online for 90 day reports is the best way to avoid having to be in your extension province area at the right time, but of course once a year you must be in the IO office province to complete your extension. Worked pretty well since they have stopped the ridiculous, stay away a night and you have to report to IO nonsense. That was until Covid lockdown, and I had to go through a change from my preferred address province to the other province as I was locked down there.

superal Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Not trying to digress from the topic but I have a spanner for the works . I did my 7 night quarantine recently in Bangkok ( had 2 pcr tests at the hotel + 1 at UK departure . After the quarantine I am free to travel around Thailand apparently but not according to the village head who insisted that I stay in my Issan home for 14 days because I had come from Bangkok . This must be an unofficial law as it is not imposed generally on short stay tourists or those who are touring and using hotels . So if I had decided to ignore the 14 day village quarantine , what would be the circumstances ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provinces can set their own requirements for what is required when returning from another one or one they consider a high risk. Some may only want a ATK test to satisfy them that you are not infected. Check with the sub district health officer to find out what the requirements are.

I've done several from another province I was asking about the PLF not the TM30. I wonder if that is ever going to stop. As far as I can see, that is the only thing that is still needed to enter the UK and other countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
