TM30 required for 30 days extension?

[james.d]

Hi all, 

I came back to Thailand 12th July for vacation/ visit family.

I forgot to inform my wife to do a TM30.

My visa expires 10th August and l want to extend for another 10 days.

Will there be a problem asking for extension in Chaeng Wattana tomorrow?

Does my wife need to go with me?

 

Many thanks for feedback.

First up how did you enter Thailand.

If visa exempt you will attend IT mall LakSi.

If with a visa eg SETV you will attend CW.

Most likely you will need to provide a TM30 

 

Edit: you only received 30 from dates mentioned so you go to LakSi

Thank you very much.

I have a British passport and arrived via air.

I will go to IT Laski mall, but do we do the TM30 before or in the immigration office there?

Does my wife need to join me?

Thank you again.

Most likely the document check chicks will send you away without TM30.

Your wife does not need to be with you. 

 

This thread lists other docs required. Photocopies etc

Thank you DrJack.

So if they send me away tomorrow for not having a TM30, do we apply online today or can pay a fine tomorrow?

Just file the TM30 notification online before you go there and take a printout of the receipt along.

The very basic.  Once you lay your head down ""on a pillow"", a TM-30 MUST be done within 24 hours by:

a Property Owner / Landlord - most common,

or House Master,

or Possessor,

or renter ( least common ) Your wife can be ANY of the above.

Did a 30 extension last week up here in E-sarn last week.

No TM 30 required and in 40 years of coming to Thailand I've done a TM 30.

[eggzthaioz]

Never done a TM 30.

Have to go to IT Lak Si tomorrow or Friday

 

Is this a situation where you need to get there by 7 AM  like at CW so you're not waiting all day? Or if you get there closer to 9 AM it's not too terrible?

 

Thanks

I did the extension in Chiang Mai and they required the TM30 beforehand. I asked my landlord to do one then and there online. They did, sent it via email and the doc chicks printed it out for me.

 

Best to have it before you go there.

If you did not know, YOU can doa TM-30 YOURSELF, as I have done several times at my LOCAL IO ( 10 minutes from my door )

 

....Again it depends on LOCAL office POLICY what paperwork YOU can do.....

 

I have done TM-30's for visitors to my house - my name is the only one on rental agreement / lease,

It makes things easier for my friends to get visa extensions and more having this paperwork.

Thank you all, I just applied online.... However, is the first registration page for me or my wife?

I thought it was her name but now doubting myself.

Thanks again.

Sorry for all the questions about the TM30.

The address was approved online, l filled in the name, passport and phone numbers and saved. 

I just checked for approval and is showing an excel form to fill, but no way to type in it when l open it.

Any ideas please?

I downloaded their example xls file, filled it out with my data, then uploaded it.  The system will notify if it accepted the form or not when you upload it - you may need to play with the date-format to get it to be accepted.

Just an update: I went to IT Laski yesterday on the off chance without a TM30.

Was told TM30 was not necessary, nor were my wife's ID card and house book.

Got 30 days extension stamp for 1900B. Not an unpleasant experience at all.

Thank you for all the replies I received here.

Thanks for the update.

However others note that TM30 is often required for 30 day extension.

Like many things at immigration it's luck of the draw.
