DrJack54 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) You are returning visa exempt. You will need to do a new TM30 if you intend to have dealings with immigration. For example to obtain 30 day extension. Be aware that you would apply for extension at Laksi immigration office.

Nonsense to state "not his job" Then please tell us why it was my wife who was fined, after 14 years, for failing to submit a TM30. Quote Basically, with the TM30 form and notification, the government aims to know exactly where each foreigner is staying all the time. Every host, whether, Thai or foreigner, has the obligation to report the stay of a foreigner within 24 hours. https://www.thaiembassy.com/thailand-visa/about-tm30-thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone will be fined. In your case wife. In OP case gf. Doubt it. He could be fined on the spot when attending immigration. Many have been fined for not having a TM30 when attending immigration for example to obtain an extension. Stick to the OP. His intention is to enter visa exempt and obtain an extension. It is HIS JOB to ensure that one is done. If not and he attends immigration for an extension then he may be sent away to obtain TM30 or possibly even fined. The popular amount being 800baht. Hopefully the OP will ensure TM30 is filed and can show immigration proof of that via eg screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chit chat about the responsibility to ensure TM30 is made falling upon owner or renter becomes a nonsense when the reality of obtaining an extension comes into play. The OP has been advised to ensure a TM30 is filed prior to applying for extension. "Not my job Mr immigration officer" won't cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best advice I can offer in this thread for anyone planning to obtain an extension from a visa exempt entry (AKA the OP) is to completely ignore each of your posts. Ignore time.

IvorBiggun2 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Tell me Dr Jack. When you stay in an hotel do you do a TM30 at immigration or do you leave it up to the hotel to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack54 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 1 minute ago, IvorBiggun2 said: Tell me Dr Jack. When you stay in an hotel do you do a TM30 at immigration or do you leave it up to the hotel to do? First up not even close to what the OP is asking about. The OP plans to enter visa exempt and obtain an extension. If I was in that situation and was checking into a hotel with future plans to have dealings with immigration then my FIRST question would be ..... "Can you provide me with record of TM30 by way of screenshot etc?" If the reply was NO then I would not stay there. Many folk staying at places not a simple condo check in but for example wife's home, friend, gf, owner of condo, etc can do the TM30 as possessor, renter, owner etc. You are missing the fundamental point. Read the MANY threads along the lines .."the owner refuses to file TM30" The "owner lives overseas and hasn't done a TM30" etc. Few years back when there was change of head of immigration and new guy did a crackdown on TM30. Who paid the fine. In most cases it was the person dealing with the io. Even CW were fining folk 800baht if presented for extension without a TM30. All of which is off topic. The OP asked if he needed to file a TM30 next time he visits Thailand. If he had a reentry permit and was returning to his place of residence then the answer would be NO. The rules were changed June 2020. Fact is he is returning to thailand visa exempt and even though he is returning to his place of residence in Thailand he or the gf or the owner needs to file a TM30. Simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah,ah. I didn't have to. I did my 90 day report in person over 3 years ago. My wife sat next to me and they were more interested in why she hadn't submitted a TM30 in the 15 years I've lived in Thailand until that specific time. Neither of us knew the rules of the TM30 notification at that time. They fined her 400 Baht. No receipt. They then gave me the TM30 notification and posted it in my passport.
