A TM 30 question

[homeseeker]

I live in BKK retirement visa.

My address registered in BKK for 90 day online reports.

If I visit Pattaya or Phuket or CM etc for a few days:

NO need inform immigration? Correct?

 

But if my friend on retirement visa has address in CM; if he visits BKK etc., a report need be made to immigration? Correct?

 

I know this been asked before, but clarification required.

 

Thank you.

You are correct.

CW is right.

CM is wrong. 

 

Be aware that also if you exit Thailand with a reentry permit upon your return you are not  required to file a TM30

That was not my experience last month when I renewed my retirement visa for the 20th time.  I had gone out of the country in Jan and was told that the TM30 slip in my passport was out of date and I had to renew it there and then.  I was told I needed to do this every time I came back into the country.  I can't recall having had to do this before.

Which immigration office.

Just another crack pot immigration office/officer.

 

Regardless the office is applying outdated rules that were changed in June 2020. 

 

BTW TM30 should not be required for extensions.

Does your local Immigration office ask you to keep the TM30 slip inside the passport ?
