Maybe someone has some advice on this.

I came back into Thailand on April 22, 2025 on a tourist visa. i STAYED in the country and got married on May 29th (still on my tourist stamp) On June 4th, 2025 We applied for the Non O spouse visa (90 day) which was approved. Now on Aug 1st, 2025 we applied for the 12 month Non O extension which was approved so my Visa is good until Sept 1, 2026. My FIRST 90 day check in is listed as Oct 29th, 2025.

Today i went to immigration to try and get a residency certificate so i can legally get a Thai drivers license. They denied me saying i never updated my TM30 since i got into Thailand on April 22 which isn't true because i had to do it for the marriage paperwork. She didn't seem to care about explaining anything besides saying update the TM30 and comeback.

My question is, what exactly do i update? The address is still the same, my wife owns her condo. Do i just add another row on "The address to receive foreigners to stay" and print that out and try to go back? I don't see anywhere else on the TM30 webpage to update anything else besides my wife's information.

Are they asking this because my visa changed from tourist to 90 day Non o to 12 month non o? Does the TM30 just needs to be updated now? I thought TM30 never needs to be updated unless your address changed?

ANY information would be much appreciated. I'm just a little confused.

TM30 must be updated within 24h when entering the country from abroad

It was done when we applied for the 90 day Non O visa on June 4th. Is that not recognized since i didn't do it in April 22 when i got back into Thailand? I never left the country since April 22. Filling out the TM30 was required with proof when we applied for the Non O

Obtain a new TM30. 

Which immigration office? 

Chaeng Watthana immigration. My wife already has the page setup on the TM30 website with all our information on it. Should i have her delete everything and re-create it or just update another row of "The address to receive foreigners to stay"

Regards COR at CW you can make appointment which is handy. 

You require a TM30 (something that shows address) 

Cost is 200b and mailed out in approx 5 days

That is what i did, today. I had an appointment and all the paperwork i had was fine, she just said i had to update the TM 30. I provided a current TM30 with the correct address. Same one i used when i got married a few months ago, nothing was different. That's why i was confused.

Just submit a new TM30 notification online to make them happy. You cannot edit existing notifications in the system.

This best idea from Caldera. 

Every year I go for annual extensions at CW ... I obtain a new TM30 from my apartment office. 

Saves any issues.
