Can you remove the paper and staple from 30 Day extension?

[lexxy]

As title suggests, can you remove the paper and staple once you are home from the 30 day extension? i for forsee having to go through many passports the way i travel

[BritTim]

I am not sure what you are referring to. I have never seen anything stapled into your passport when you get an extension at an immigration office. Are you referring to the TM6 (currently suspended) that was previously used whenever you entered Thailand, and assuming that is connected in some way with the 30 days from a visa exempt entry you were given when you arrived in Thailand? If so, that card is removed by immigration at the airport or land crossing when you leave the country.

Of course you can remove it, but don't lose it. I thought they had discarded the silly method of stapling things in the passport, obviously not!

tm30's are also stapled in the rear of the passport

There is no stapled paper for a 30 day extension.

Only a stamp.

Could it be the receipt for payment mYBE, I've had that before with re-entry permit payments

Yes, when I got my extension in June this year a pink receipt was folded and stapled in my passport which worried me a little but did not touch it until I got home, then I took it out and saw it was a receipt for 1900baht for 30 days ( no mention or change from the 2000Baht I passed to the IO  ) 555.

I have since returned on the 45 day deal and no mention of the missing receipt

The notice to do, with the date, a 90 day report is folded and stapled in to my passport. Takes up the best part of a page. Guess when I either leave or do a 90 day report I can remove it. If the latter and done in person I presume the IO would remove it and staple in a new one.

Remove anything stapled into your passport.

In fact tell io not to do that. 

 

[JackGats]

I hate the visa agency or Immigration stapling loads of papers into my passport. I remove the papers and scan them into my smartphone.

Given that it's illegal. 

nonsense ....  I've had dozens of folded papers removed that were stapled in my passports,  as long as you keep what's relevant to your situation it's not a problem.  Of course you cannot touch or alter visa stamps or stickers as that's illegal.

Big statement.

Immigration should not staple anything into a passport.

The fact that they do (especially in Thailand) does not make it correct.

 

[geisha]

Yes, they always stapled the receipt into my passport in Jomtien. I left it there. Once , arriving back in France the immigration officer was quite shocked by the habit.

That is because the passport is the property of the French government.

It's a silly habit that some Thai immigration officers do.

Think it's just a thing that annoys me..

 

Some folk staple their 90 report receipt in pp.

Some also TM30.

Also TM6 by io when they were being issued.

It's nuts.

 

Wednesday I go for my annual extension.

I will not present report receipt.

Nothing to do with extensions.

I will not provide a TM30 as I have never done one since living in Thailand.

This will be at CW and I will do a report for others. 

Of course with anything, I always ask with respect.
