So I left Thailand and reentered on my DTV back in April. Today I went to report my address for the 90 day report.
Had all my documents in order (or so I thought).
I did not know you needed a TM30 for each time you exit and reenter Thailand. Immigration official’s smile immediately fades when she looks me up in the system and asks why my TM30 is dated for July and not April.
Well, “There was a typo in my name”, I said.
She said, “No, where is your TM30 for April. You only have two TM30s. Where is owner. Charge ฿1600. Contact owner right now. Do not leave. You call I speak to owner.”
Condo Owner: not responding to texts or calls
Me: the genius who left his wallet back at the condo, because, “Oh, immigration is just a short stroll to the beach, I’ll be in and out.”
Currently sitting here hoping they’ll let me return with the money. Each time they ask for owner, they just get angrier and angrier. Dear God
Update: They let me come back with the money. Got my receipt and I swear to God I’ll never make that mistake again 🤣
