rutteketuut Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I arrived on 31 august with a reentry permit to return to the same address where I've been living with my wife for 16 years. We didn't do the TM 30 report. Will I be fined when I do my next 90 days report or my next extension of stay. I go to the Jomtien immigration office. Thanks.

New regulation dated June of 2020. Off topic, Hello UJ, if you were to leave Thailand with re-entry permit on your extension of stay and were still abroad at 90 report time from the cycles before you left, how can you just continue the cycle at zero when entering and do an online report 90 days later ? Wouldn't the online system show your cycle is out of sync thus not accepting a report and having a new tm6 ? thanks....

No if you enter your new arrival date when completing the application online. Immigration would approve it if you have a new arrival date and will be the report 90 days after arrival within the 15 day window to do them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this means that we do not need to do the first 90-day report after reentering by mail or in person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be done online, by mail or in person. The online report has a space to enter your new arrival date. Immigration can confirm it by looking at their database that will show your most recent entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UJ, I’m sure that I read somewhere/sometime (here ?, in the past 6 months ?) that it was still necessary to report to the *Chiang Mai* Immigration Office within 24h after returning from abroad, even with a re-entry permit. … Are you able to confirm, one way or the other, if this is still the case.

I know that the vast majority on this forum believes that TM30 is no longer required if you return from abroad and to the domicile previously registered, and this would include Chiang Mai. This may apply to many other provinces, but I do live in Chiang Mai, returned from Europa on 4th July 2022, reported my return the same day, and got issued a new TM30 as per picture below. I wonder why Chiang Mai Immigration would still do that if it was no longer a legal requirement also in this province. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be that it is not required but since you went to CM IMM to report they processed it anyway? I just returned last night from being outside the country with my re entry permit going back to my same residence of 10 years and don’t plan to report Edited September 10, 2022 by jeffandgop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since there is no requirement to do so. Think uj mentioned that the law changed in June 2020 so any immigration office insisting on TM30 for eg your situation is wrong.

ProbPossConf Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 CM immigration wanted a current TM.30 when I applied for the VE non-O visa extension. My TM.30 was six years old and luckily the office staff just handwritten a new notification slip for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffandgop Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Could there be a difference in O & OA Non Immigrant EOS in when a TM 30 is required for those returning to Thai to the same address?

I didn’t need one for my recent EOS based on marriage (OA Visa originally) Any entry with a existing multiple entry visa or a re-entry permit for a extension of stay does not require a TM30 report. It is only needed if you enter with a new visa or visa exempt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie101 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 (edited) I have recently returned from my home country to my condo which is the same address as my previous TM30. I have a elite visa and asked them if another TM30 submission is required. They told me that I must submit a new TM30. Perhaps as there is no re-entry stamp for the elite its technically a new visa each time you arrive?

It was the elite visa support that told me and on the elite visa facebook page other visa holders are being told the same. Difficult to know what to do. I spoke to my estate agent to ask the landlord to submit another TM30 and the agent said the landlord only does the 1st submission and I have to go to immigration myself for any further TM30.

A Elite visa is a multiple entry visa that does not require a TM30 report every time you enter the country now (since June 2020). From the regulation.

I don't want to be going through the hassle of getting a new TM30 every time I leave my condo ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
