bbi1 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Jomtien immigration is asking to report same address again when wanting to do a 30 day extension of visa exempt. Is this a new thing? pre-COVID you didn't have to report the same address each time you flew back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caldera Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 As you're extending a new visa exempt entry, you do need to submit a new TM30 report. Those returning from abroad with a re-entry permit, on the other hand, don't need to report the same address again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you fly into Thailand with a reentry permit or same visa (eg ME non O etc) then you are required to file a TM30. Obviously unless you have to deal with immigration many just ignore the TM30. You mention obtaining an extension to visa exempt entry. That will require a TM30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this rule only for visa exempt entries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I posted above... "Unless you fly into Thailand with a reentry permit or same visa (eg ME non O etc) then you are required to file a TM30." An METV would come under reenter with same visa. No TM30 required. A visa exempt or tourist visa etc would require a new TM30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 It seems to depend on the Immigration Office.. At the Ratchaburi office, I was told that we have your addres now, next time you come back to Thailand no need to do again. just keep the receipt.. Guess if I have a new passport, a new TM30 would be needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
