TPDH Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Hey I got a 1 year marriage extension and I just got a multiple re-entry permit but I've never used it before. Is there anything I need to know or do when I leave or enter Thailand on the re-entry permit? Or is everything as it normally is and it's all handle at the visa checkpoint? Also, what do I do about my TM30? Do I ignore it and send one in once I come back? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJAS Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 (edited) (1) When re-entering Thailand make sure that it's the re-entry permit (not marriage extension) number that's completed in the "Visa no." box on the TM6 arrival card. (2) Assuming that you've already filed a TM30 with Immigration and that you'll be returning to the same address mentioned in it there's no need to submit a fresh form after you get back. (3) Since it's a multiple re-entry permit check that an immigration officer at Arrivals hasn't mistakenly cancelled it prematurely (normally by stamping USED across it) before leaving their booth.

Thank you! Do you know what to do about the 90 day report? I'm supposed to report next on 30 June but I'm leaving Thailand now and wont return until late July. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Added note: after being stamped in have quick look at stamped in "admit till" date. It should be same date as on your extension expiry date which is same as on your reentry permit.

Chiang Mai Imm wanted me to update my TM30 a few months ago (returning to the same address). So I guess that this might depend on the specific office. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much! So after coming back to Thailand, I don't need to do the TM30 until 90 days later? If I change my address, then I need to do it right away though?

You dont need to do a TM30 on re entry only for changing address, however not all offices seem to be up to date after they changed this a couple of years ago.

As mentioned earlier so immigration offices make up their own rules. Damn ridiculous imo. You need to be aware of your imm office. It's not just the small ones. Think CM might be requiring Tm30 when they should not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samut Prakan insisted on a TM30 last year before even giving queue tickets! then told me my Tm30 was out of date even though not left the country or moved. Some of them are either very ignorant of the rules or just out to be as awkward as they can 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have only ever dealt with CW have found them good to deal with. You don't get various rubbish requirements as per some offices, such as Jomtien report back after 3 months for money in bank. Monty Python stuff. If I had to deal with a rubbish office I would agent for sure. Edited May 29, 2022 by DrJack54 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you travel and return to your previous residence on file you do not need to file TM30 If you exit Thailand and return on existing visa or reentry permit and return to your previous residence then TM30 is not required. I guess if someone deals with a rogue office then most likely they would file a TM30 to avoid fine. Yes ridiculous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the TM47 in the case of leaving Thailand and coming back on a re-entry permit? I'm supposed to do the next 90 day report in late June but I'm leaving now and wont be back in Thailand until late July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget about current 90 report coming up. Not required. When you reenter in July that date of entry starts your 90 clock. So date of entry is day 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm returning on a new visa ( 90 day Non O ), not returning to where I was registered at CW for years. I will be hoteling it for 10-14 days or so until I find something long term and at another province. The TM30 should be covered by hotels and when I settle into something other than hotels, then can do the TM30 with whats required from owner / landlord correct ? Thanks.....

Since you entered on new visa you are required to file a TM30. No urgency. Just make sure that you or hotel etc file a TM30 prior to attending immigration. I would leave it till you settle on an address. The requirements will vary depending on where you settle.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes You just need to remember what the purpose of the 90 day report is as shown on a TM47 form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
