Jomtien TM30 - Returning

[Banana7]

I used an automated gate to exit a few weeks and plan to return in a few days, so I do not have an exit stamp in my passport. Will I have to obtain a new TM30 at Jomtien if I am returning to my regular residence in Pattaya for which I already have a TM30?

You will get an entry stamp.  Yes, get a new TM30.

It all depends on the office. The office in Ratchaburi that I use has said they dont require a new TM30, unless you have a new passport.

I’m in Pattaya and always do once I return. It may not be necessary but I’d rather not take the chance. Easy enough to do.

At Jomtien you only need a new TM30 if returning to the same residence, only if you get a new passport. I found this recently when I needed a residence certificate for my driving licence.

I found from my experience Jomtien to be otherwise.

The TM 30 I have I have predate COVID, 2022 I got a new Passport they transfered the TM30 to my new Passport.

A year ago confusion as to whether a new one needed to be obtained I returned March 5th, visited Immigration prepared if necessary to file new told by two IO, desk not necessary since I had a Imm-o, returning to same address.

Due to age of my TM30, they offer to replace it if I wanted but I decline due to time of waiting.

I'm not sure why you think having (or not having) an exit stamp is relevant - it isn't. You will get an entry stamp when you re-enter in any case.

 

Are you returning using a re-entry permit, or a new visa?
