Does anyone have an internet link to where I can get a WORD template of the TM7 and TM30 visa forms.

I cannot get a WORD TM 7 and 30 from this website. The TM 30 says it is WORD but it comes up as a PDF file which I am unable to edit

Then visit local immigration office.

You could try this:

Alternative to the converter and to get the forms at your local immigration office: Print the PDF files and fill them out the old fashioned way with a pen.

Second that.

The forms are available at immigration office.

Fill in with pen..

Problem solved.

Immigration office is not likely to accept a form you filled in with word and then printed. They want you to fill it out in blue ink, so they know it's not a copy. Having the entire thing in type print would immediately throw up red flags and they would probably throw it away and hand you a fresh form to fill out in front of them.

Jomtien accepted a typed in TM7 form in blank ink yesterday, the problem is there's often a long queue to get forms

I guess each immigration office may have their own rules in this regard.

But Chaeng Wattana and prior to that Suan Plu (before they moved) have always accepted prefilled and printed word formated forms dating back to over 20 years ago. Once upon a time these forms were shared widely on TV. I'm still using the same ones I got 20+ years ago, TM7 TM8 and TM47.

I print them out and sign them in the presence of the IO with whatever pen they provide. Never had a problem.

Yes I was there yesterday morning and the queue was horrendous...not as bad as times during the Covidiocy but still a long queue just to get a ticket to get into the main building or a form to fill in in the first place..Jomtien often has their own 'special form'..

it would be useful if we could upload them here but unfortunately that option has been removed for some reason ?

They also excepted the forms that I had filed out on my computer and the signed with blue pen.

They told me and my wife that this year they are being extra strict under orders from head office.

Seems so, last year previous days 800k bank letter ok, this year not ok, needs same day, so no point going early

So maybe not just Jomtien but also all offices falling under the jurisdiction of Immigration Division 3, as listed in English halfway down this link:
