Many thx...go in person or send an agent?

I would personally never use an agent, but it's an option if time/CW avoidance is an issue.

I have never used an agent but for health and aggravation reasons in this instance I may do so. Not decided.

 

But my question is if I send an agent is that ok/I do nor have to go actually in person?

If i do decide to go on person what documents /copies do i need?

 

I really appreciate your input.

You don't need to go with the agent.  TM47, TM30 and passport should be enough.  I've seen several recommendations for using the Bumrungrad hospital 90 day reporting service (https://www.bumrungrad.com/en/patient-services/business-center), it seems cheap (650 baht) and available to all, not only patients.  You would of course have to go there to submit and collect your documents.  I am sure other agents will pick up and return documents from/to your home.

I am completely exasperated, upset and angry.

Spend all afternoon waiting to do my 90 day report. Had all necessary forms and passport.

After well over 2 hours waiting and 117 ahead of me I eventually reached the counter only to be told I needed do a TM 30 with all accompanying documents before I could have my TM 47 considered.

I was sent to 2 other immigration officers who confirmed that was so.

"No need to do another TM30"- 

-words spoken here.

And I stupidly believed what I was told.

 

I assumed that because my Landlord had submitted  on line there was no need to do a TM 30.

 

 

No said immigration.

 

Because i had been living previously in Chonburi  then according to the immigration officer(s) TM 30 cannot be done on line.

 

And of course despite not being young any more they  have no mercy.

 

Any way I have posted separately on here asking if anyone can recommend an experienced immigration agent to help me.

You assumed right.  With a valid TM30 you have no need to do another one, it's not even your responsibility.  However, as we know, they can decide on a whim to reject anybody and it seems you have fallen foul of that.  Sorry to hear you had a bad experience, have to say it is not normal.

For future reference, postal mail is also possible on the first day, although it isn't nearly as easy as online (but online isn't possible for the first submission).

told I needed do a TM 30

 

Sorry that this happened to you. More to understand how to avoid that myself, I'm curious if you had a copy of the (landlord's) TM30 that you could show them - presumably that would have met their needs?

I provided a copy of the form the Landlord received from Immigration which was done when I moved into my BKK apartment.

 

The rule seems to be that a TM 30 can of course be done on Line but because I had previously lived in Chonburi the on line TM 30 is apparently not acceptable to immigration.

If a person has moved to a new province (I moved from Chonburi to BKK) then- if I understand what immigration is saying-  one need to complete the "full monty" TM30 signed by the owner with supporting documentation etc and given  in person to immigration.

I showed the immigration the TM 30 copy given to me by my landlord but for the reasons stated above it was not accepted.

 

Once TM 30 is approved etc then and only then can I apply for TM 47 (90 days).

Which is why I assume my on line 90 day application was refused.

 

I am just reporting what happened to me today. I don't think it was just a whim/bad day,. but who knows.
