Follow up to I screwed up LOL

Wow it was interesting

 

First, I have to thank the Cdn Embassy Consular staff. They were awesome.  

I handed them my passport, and they said they would renew it and put it on fast track.  Also, they said that when I came in to get my new PP they would domy letter that morning even though I did not have an appointment.

 

Got my passport on 30 December ( they were closed on Boxing Day and Fridays),

 

I went in and got my passport, and everything was done.  

 

I talked to GF, but she could not get any time off until 08 Jan, and even that was only for the morning.

 

I went in on the 6th and got my passport switched. No problem

 

For the past 9-10 years, I have lived at the same address. In the past, I went in and gave them my paperwork minus the TM30, but I had my GF with me, and they did not need any proof of residence.

 

Wouldn't you know it, this year, they needed proof of residency, so I advised the Captian at immigration that I would have to get the info from GF and be back.

 

I went back this morning and was ready for everything except that the girl would not talk to me. She told my GF, who speaks English, what she wanted, but she is not great. 

 

It turns out that I needed to do the tm30 because even though I lived in the same place because my GF now owned the house, I needed to change it.  

 

I got that done and made the copies again with them, talking to GF, who advised that they needed to explain it to me.

 

Then they announce that I am overstaying 9 hours, LOL.  I need to pay an overstay and a fine of 500 baht. LOL

 

I finally got everything done and was out of there 

TOTAL TIME 1HOUR 20 MINUTES  including 90-day report.

 

Evidently, from now on, I have to do a tm 28 for residence.

 

AGAIN, ANYONE GOING TO PATHUM THANI, if you have trouble, talk to the Captain. He is sharp, speaks great English, and will take the time to explain.

 

Also, thanks to everyone who helped and gave advice. It was much appreciated.

Not sure why TM28 was required

"FORM FOR ALIENS TO NOTIFY THEIR CHANGE OF ADDRESS"

 

You do not need a TM28 if you stay at the same address.

Change of address along with address notification is now TM30

Correct for pretty well everyone, the list of exemptions is long and comprehensive, but the TM28 is still an extant form even after the amendments made on 28 Jan 2020.

I don't mean to offend anyone here, but I do miss Joe and some of the others who used to give sage advice about everything based on experience.

You are not alone. Leaves a void impossible to fill.
