stuurman Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Hi I'm renting a house in Chiang Mai, my landlord filled in the TM30 form to notify immigration me and my wife are staying at that address. In a couple of months we will have my parents in law (both Dutch nationals) staying with us for about 3 weeks. Do I (or the landlord) have to notify immigration that they are staying with us?

ubonjoe Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I would not worry about the TM30 report since your parents will likely not be doing anything at an immigration office. Immigration does not go out looking for people that have not reported guests staying at their home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuurman Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 Thanks for the reply Ubonjoe, they will enter Thailand on a visa exemption stamp and fly back 3 weeks later so indeed no visits to immigration planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquorice Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Give them your address to put on the TM6 Arrivals/Departure card. That fulfils the requirement for short stay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkok Barry Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) I had the local police - three of them - visit on Saturday to get my wife to declare she was 'sheltering an alien'. One is her brother, another a cousin. After an hour having coffee and biscuits and a blend of banana, passion fruit and honey, off they went. I took the opportunity to have a photo taken with them.

jesimps Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Tried twice at Jomtien to report 3 guests. Think they thought I was ting tong and a nuisance to boot. Gave up in the end and went home. Will risk the 5000 baht fine in future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One report says you MUST report all visitors, then when you do you get treated like your insane ( depending on the immigration officer that sees to you I suspect) . Then if you don't, you get fined when they find out. You do at some immigration offices, and you don't at others. So much conflicting information, or moving the goal posts. How ever much you try to smile and keep cool it wears a bit thin after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
