You don't need to use an excel file. I just completed all the boxes and it gave me the TM30 Certificate at the end.

That would be easier than the xls method, which I used.  The form (in the screenshot) appears to be to search for records.  Did you click the "+ / Add" button, then could add a "foreigner staying at address" from there?

I got to the form (in the attached screeshot). fill all the fields, and clicked on the SAVE button. Till now, nothing happened and no email from Immigration.

What should I do?

Did you remember to select the address by clicking on the radio button pointed to by the arrow below?

There is no confirmation email sent to you by immigration.

There should then be a search button which shows your TM30 submissions. Note that you must search within 7 days to get the TM30 certificate. After 7 days and it won't be shown.

 

There is no email from Immigration.

Yes, sure I clicked on the radio button. Otherwise, it's impossible to submit the form.

The screenshot (in my previous post) shows the form after I clicked the save button. The form's fields are emptied. There was some popup, but I wasn't able to read it, as it closed rather quickly. 

In the field called Inform Status, It is shown "In progress".

 

I don't see a search button which shows your TM30 submissions. Or, I don't know where to look.

I also tried to fill the fields again and submit the form - the form not allowed the second submission. 

 

Should I just wait?

The search button is on the first screen you see after logging in.

If your save had worked then the status should have changed to "Informed" or something similar.

A status of "In Progress" indicates an issue IMHO.

If you cant find your record, using Search, then I would try to submit your details again.

[2_mike_an]

When I subitted the form more one time, I got a message 'Dublicate Data'.

I'll wait till tomorrow.

Once you have submitted your data as you have indicated, you need to go back to the search page. I do this by logging out and then logging back in. When you do this, you can then start a search . On that page to the upper right, you will see a block that says 'Date of Stay". In there fill in the from date as the date you submitted your data and then in the next field  (to date)fill in today's date. Don't fill in anything else. Then go to the search button below and click that. If your data had been successfully transmitted earlier, you will see your data show up below. Click the blue magnifying glass icon on the bottom left and the data you submitted should show up. The you click the export button on the bottom right and your printable TM30 should show up. Print that for your records. As others have said, 7 days after you submit your data, this form will no longer be available. Good luck! 

[2_mike_an]

DineshR, thanks a lot for your post. It was very helpful.

Although I had some problems with printing TM 30, I've passed through them.

 

I'm curious about what should be done after I submit my TM 30 to Immigration.

Is it a one-time job, or does it need to be done every year?

[DineshR]

@2_mike_an According to the law as it is written, if you leave the country and return to the same address where you had previously submitted a TM30, then you do NOT need to submit one again. Remember it is returning to the same address where you previously filed a TM30. However, if you return to a new address, then you will need to file a new TM30. This is what the immigration rule states. However, I have heard via this forum, that not all immigration offices are following this rule even though this is the law. Personally, since I know how to do it and it doesn't take me more than 5 mins to do it, I do it every time I come back from abroad and print out a new TM30. I use this only if I have to go file an extension if my extension of stay is about to expire. I travel a bit so most times, I never actually use what I have printed. You only use the printed TM30 if you need to go extend your stay or do a 90 day report. If you leave the country before your permitted stay expires, then simply throw that away and do a new one when you come back. It's not a yearly thing. It's whenever you return to Thailand from abroad. It could be many times a year if you travel a lot or it could be once in a few years if you never leave the country for a long time. Just bookmark your TM30 page so it is easy to get back to if you need to do it again and follow the forum to see if there have been any changes since the last time you did it. Good luck !!

[2_mike_an]

DineshR,

I was requested to provide TM 30 while submitting my 90-day report without any apparent reason. I did not leave Thailand for more than 10 years and I stayed at the same address (my condo) for over 20 years.

As far as I recall, I had not submitted TM 30 in the past.

It's all strange to me.

 

Can I submit my next 90-day report by mail and enclose the printed TM 30 among other documents?

[DineshR]

@2_mike_an I do not know the answer to your question. Perhaps someone on this thread may be able to provide an answer to your question. That said, I presume, that since you have been here for more than 10 years without leaving the country, you probably do not have the TM30 from 10 years ago.  I assume, but do not know for sure, that you can simply create a new TM30 with a start date of whenever it is you create the TM30, and submit that when you apply for your 90 day report. If you currently have a TM30, simply make several copies of that and keep them for the next times you do a 90 day report. I believe that once you have done a 90 day report in person, all subsequent 90 day reports can be done online which may not require a TM30.

Correct.  And, I would also re-file a TM-30 after traveling / staying at a hotel in Thailand.  They may create a new TM-30 entry for you, which could override your previous submission. 

[TerraplaneGuy]

Pardon the ignorance but does this system for filing your own TM30 apply only to people who own their own condos or are married to a Thai land/condo owner?  I've lived in Thailand a long time but always rented and my TM30s have always been registered by my landlords (or hotel owners).  I wouldn't mind having control over the process but is it possible if you're just renting?

 

My concern about TM30s normally arises once a year when I extend my stay (retirement, OA) and depending on the Immigration office, they may require a copy.

 

Sorry if this is explained somewhere within this thread but it's so long it's hard to tell.

Yes, you can take control of the TM.30 reporting process. This being Thailand, not all immigration offices use the same rules but generally they want copies of the owner's ID card and the house registration book for the dwelling (condo unit or house), both signed by the owner. State what office you use and someone may post the current practice used by that office, or drop by the immigration office and ask them directly,

Thanks!  Once I find out the documents required by the my office, what would the procedure be for me to start filing TM30s online myself?  Would I upload the docs to the TM30 website and then report on the site whenever I return from abroad?  My recollection is that they changed the rules a couple years ago so you don't have to report if you're returning to the same residence address.  But I'll need a copy of a TM30 registration each year when I apply for my retirement extension of stay.

Very useful info, thank you.

One question I have exported and printed the "certificate" which at the bottom has reference to TM6 , Type of visa, expiry, port of entry which is empty and I don't recall being asked to input that info- is that correct?

Should have referred to this one!

 

 

 

[DineshR]

There are no more TM6's. So, there should not be any data related to a TM6 and no need to fill that in.

[DineshR]

Just to clarify after re-reading both your posts. Yes, that is correct. You do not have to fill in any TM6 info since they stopped issuing TM6's at least a few years ago. Just leave it blank if it is on the form.

TM6 not required for entry via air 2022. 

Some land borders still have you fill in TM6. 

Just leave blank for various dealing with immigration.

Such as TM47, Extensions etc

I am having a problem with the TM 30 site. I am registered...live in the same condo. I am trying to download a copy showing I am registered at this address...

It says "Approved" at my address, and status informed. 

I downloaded a 1 page approval? letter a couple of years ago..but can't seem to find how to get another copy of the letter to show immigration..

Any help is appreciated.

[Maestro]

@JohnOFphon   The TM.30 approval of a notification made online is available for download only within seven days from the date of approval.

There is now (new) a way to get a pdf file showing that you did the report.

What you do is first, do a search for the report you entered. on the main screen just put the report dayte (date informed) then selcting "all" search.  The result will show at the bottom of the page  as a long single row of data.

 

Then on the far left where there is a search icon next to the person's name, click that and you get the whole report showing all the details. At the bottom towards the right there is an option to "export", clicking that s supposed to download a pdf file showing the report submisison. So far though all I get is a "Service Timeout" error message.

@Sheryl thanks, I know I'm a year late, but previously I've just screenshotted the search results and saved it. Just did the click on the blue search icon in the results and then the .pdf export from the 'View' page worked perfectly. Strange that nowhere on the .pdf does it say that it's a TM30, that only appears in the URL and not even the file name.

 

Thanks, Andrew
