Can I pay the fine for my late 90-day report in Korat even though my marriage visa was processed in Chaiphum?

Marriage Visa 90-Day Report Visa Fine TM30 Filing Immigration Process Chaiphum Korat

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello, in a bit of a fix I feel. I lived in Chaiphum whilst doing my marriage visa, so I am stamped in from their office. But now I am returning to Korat to live a month later. In doing so I'm returning to my residence in Korat, and the 90 day report was not completed when I did my visa (my fault for not checking and I accept that). So, I am over and I have a stamp to say I was in Chaiphum to get my marriage visa. Can I walk in to Korat immigration and just pay the 2k fine, or will I have an issue with my visa being stamped from Chaiphum and need to change my visa to Korat as this is my province of residency? Maybe, starting the process all over again? Or am I blowing this way out of proportion? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is concerned about transitioning back to Korat after obtaining a marriage visa in Chaiphum, especially regarding the incomplete 90-day report and potential fines. A suggested solution is to file a new TM30 in Korat, pay the fine, and complete the 90-day report simultaneously.

OK, when you move to Korat, file a new TM30 and at the same time, pay the fine and do a 90 day report, all good.

You must have filed a TM30 in Chaiyaphum to get your extension there? So I reckon you will need to file a new one in Korat.

Each time you file a new TM30, the old one is invalidated.

yes, I did. But I explained my situation of temporary living away from Korat for a few months due to family reasons and they let me keep my TM30 for Korat to switch back to ( I wasn't sure at the time if that was the correct procedure). I'll go along and see what they say with the old TM30, when I return to Korat next week. Thank you very much for putting my mind at rest.

, thanks. I still have my TM30 for my permanent residency in Korat, will I need to redo this or just stamp this back in to my passport?
