I read a few times about easing of tm30 notification from July 2020.

Where to read it officially to proof to my non-updated immigration officer?

Any link ?

 

Regulation is at numbers 30 and 31 in English and Thai is in this pinned topic.

Which immigration office do you deal with.

Some offices seem to be ignoring the new rule and it's not just up country bush offices.

 

I think CM might be one.

May have that mixed up but certainly was a large office still insisting on TM30 upon return to home address. 

 

Thanks for quick response.

I am in kamphaeng Phet provin e.

This is the informational notice published by immigration back when the new policy went into effect.

When I arrived in Phuket in September 2021 and later in my hometown of Chiang Mai, I did not do TM 30. I trusted Ubonjoe. When I made my 90-day report, they did not ask for document TM 30.
Immigration Chiang Mai has been good since Big Joke cleared the bumps.

Did you have an earlier TM-30 in the passport? In jomtien in registered only once. My condo/lease does not change. I have a 10-year lease. My passport changed and I got a new passport and registered again. That's it. Not going to register every time I make a foreign trip.

Registered what. Your address with a TM30? 

Certainly not required at CW.

Surprised it's a requirement at Jomtien.

So basically in 2022 if at same address long-term in Thailand, but you visit somewhere else in Thailand you don't have to re-register your main address in Chiang Mai now...?

That would be great....less hassle.

Yes

That has been in the regulation for TM30 reporting since June of 2020.

Every immigration office is different on this. Some are strict, some wave it through with the minimum checks. Best to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

But if you border hop back to same address...need to re-register TM30 for same address ? Slightly different to travel within Thailand.

 

Can't keep up at times with all the immi. policy tweaks !

If you enter with a new visa or visa exempt you have to do a TM30 report.

If entering with a re-entry permit or a multiple entry visa it is not required.

God, it just gets more granular on every level of these rules !

Hi @ubonjoe, always appreciate your guidance.  When moving to a new visa (without leaving Thailand), does a new TM-30 need to be done (e.g., going from a 30 day exempt to a 90 day Non-O)?

In that situation your existing Tm30 is fine.

A new  TM30 is for change of address or reentering Thailand on a new visa or visa exempt

Thank you @DrJack54!

We have rented out our first house and I am moving today to another district (jangwat) within Chiang Mai. After I registered, at the district office, my new address in my yellow book. Do I then have to visit immigration and change my address by handing in a new tm30???
