TM6/TM30 clarification

[CeeGee]

I would be grateful if someone could clarify something that has been bugging me for some time.

I arrive at Bangkok airport and hand my completed TM6 to immigration with the where are you staying giving my friends private home address(who is Thai).I then stay there as a guest for three weeks.Does she have to notify immigration that I am staying there? (question one)

If we then go for a short break, to say Hua Hin, I know the hotel have to advise immigration, what happens when we come back.(question 2)

I am asking because one of her neighbours had a bad experience with a farang in the past and is a nasty piece of work and I would not put it past her to report that there is a farang staying .

Thanks for any assistance

If you have no need to visit an immigration office, there is generally no need to complete a TM30.

Whether or not you friend needs to submit a TM.30 is down to her local immigration office. She should ask there because offices seem to enforce the law differently.

 

Based on the law your friend should submit a TM.30 when you arrive and again after the visit to Hua Hin.

as posted if no need to visit an immigration office then forget the tm30, the friend should in theory submit a tm30, if she does, then get her to check into the hotel, and that way no need for a re-submit of the tm30

I agree with elviajero.

 

Only your own Immigration office can advise on their requirements.

As for my own office, other than if I move to a new permanent address, they do not require me to file another TM28.

 

As for the housemaster, again other than if I move to a new permanent address, or exit and re-enter the Country, they do not require a new TM30 to be filed.
