carlyai Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 I'm on a Retirement Extension and 90 day reporting. We have just been to Bangkok for several days but now back in our village home. I don't think I have to let Imm. know, but just checking. Do I need to let Imm. know? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DrJack54 Posted October 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2023 You do not need to "let them know". You are referring to TM30. Not required. Also not required for international travel returning with Re-entry permit.. However some rogue office are requesting folk to do TM30 what you outline. CM being one. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, not a single person I know in Sakon Nakhon has ever had to do a TM30 when returning from overseas. In fact, I only know 1 person who has even filed a TM30 at that office. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamnutsak Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 What is your Immigration Office? Have you ever filed a TM30? Most of us think that the changes in the regulations re: TM30 filing in 2020 removed the requirement to report returning to your address of record (via a TM30), from domestic and international trips. But the only way to be sure would be to ask at your Imm office. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlyai Posted October 19, 2023 Author Share Posted October 19, 2023 I'm in Kalasin Changwat. I can't remember filling in a TM30. I know when we went for a night in Pattaya and then in the hotel in Bangkok they let Imm know, but when we stayed at our son's place in BangNaa he never fills in a form. Thanks for replies. At the hotels they needed my passport as said Imm not accept my Thai ID, but taking visitors to Grand palace etc, they accepted my Thai ID...didn't have to pay Farang entrance charges.

SN do not require if returning to home address, ie. address noted on yearly extension application form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edwardflory Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 TM-28 is NOT "officially" required for 2+ years, BUT a few LOCAL offices require, check your LOCAL office POLICY With a TM-30, if you have not "moved", no "official" need to file, again check your LOCAL office POLICY - some require IF you leave Thailand.

So I did of course. Mind you, that was 4 years ago. Things change as we know and nothing seem to be more fluid than the rules regarding TM30s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might need to – do a TM30 report – depending on the local immigration office, even that the police order says that it's not needed when on extension of stay, not even when traveling abroad on a re-entry permit. My local immigration office – Surat Thani Province immigration – claims a TM30 if I've been outside the province. I had to do one last week, as I otherwise could not have extension of stay approved, because I've out of the province. Some immigration offices makes their own rules.

No TM30 notification is usually needed when returning to your permanent address after domestic or international travel. A few rogue offices seem to have missed the 2020 announcement, or choose to ignore it. 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, while the TM30 notification is not directly supposed to be the foreigner's responsibility, in practice, Immigration force it onto you if you are not staying in a hotel, and the property owner does not do it.

Used TM28 less than 2 weeks ago - no problemo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
