Are TM30s still required right now when they are not doing TM6? I tried using the online form but the system wouldn't save it without a TM6 number.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The TM30 form is still required in Thailand, even if TM6 is not currently being processed. Users can now file the TM30 online without needing a TM6 number, despite what was previously required. Suggestions include using the mobile Section 38 application or the official website, both of which do not mandate a TM6 entry to complete the filing process.

Sorry guys I didn't mean to come across SO coarse and harsh in my post but you definitely DO NOT need a TM6 number

and please do NOT just make one up to get thru the system 🙁 like some wing-nut mentioned on another website) 🙂

good luck one and all (y)

Are you using the new TM30 online reporting? It doesn't ask for TM6 number

You’re possibly confused with the new 90 day reporting system - it doesn’t require a TM6. The TM30 system hasn’t changed for years. It has a field for a TM6 but it’s not mandatory.

Okay, ONE FINAL TIME, let's get this sorted out

you CAN use either the mobile Section 38 application OR the website ตม38 from the immigration home page and file a TM30 online WITHOUT needing a TM6 number. It is NOT mandatory,

i was able to go in add my data, sans TM6 number,

press the button that populates the excel sheet,

save the data,

exit the system,

go back in search for the data and recall it without ANY issue

you need to change your region of your account (not the phone) to Thailand.

Or use web version

I had to change App Store region to Thailand, then choose “mobile phone” for payments, then put a thai address (province and postcode mainly)

Then I could get the app.

What a palaver!
