Visit by my niece from the US

[sirineou]

My nice is on a far east business trip from the US  to inspect some of the factories her company does business with.  

She will first go to Vietnam for a few days, then come to Thailand for a few days , upon completion of her business in bangkok where she will stay at a hotel, she will have three free days after her inspection  to come and visit us in Khon Kaen where she will stay with us for these three  days and then depart for Hong Kong .

She arrives in Khon Kaen Friday evening, and departs Sunday evening to return to BKK and catch a flight to Hong Kong. 

Do I need to report her stay with us with immigration and how can I do that is she will be here while they are closed for the weekend.

In theory you should (can be done online if you have registered for it) but in practice why bother?  She wont be going to immigration for anything so nobody will know or care.

She is not applying for extension nor dealing with immigration office.

Do nothing

 

Aside: She can obtain eVisa for Vietnam. Very easy. Make sure she uses correct portal.

Process time is 5 business days

Thank you,

Visas and all is being handle by her company's main office do no worries there, I just was not sure if I need to report her stay, I know the Hotel she stays at will report her stay there, 

Good to know i don't need to do anything it takes a load off from my mind

I've never bothered with the TM30 when friends visit and stay with us, 

With more than 3o million short term tourists yearly I would think their systems would explode if all reported in.

TM30 only required if the "guest" plans to deal with immigration.

The common reason would be to obtain a 30 day extension.

And where do most of those tourists stay?  In hotels and guesthouses which do submit TM30's as required.
