Hi. I have a question regarding TM30. My friend will be arriving in Thailand to on Friday 28 July in the morning and itβs national holiday in Thailand followed by a weekend (immigration office close on weekends). Keeping in view the rule of reporting to immigration within 24 hours of arrival, would that be fine if we go for reporting on Monday July 31? Please advise. Thank you in anticipation.
Note: the landlord is not available for such things - neither physical nor for online reporting. He provided all the documents and I always have to do it by myself and I am ok with that.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about reporting the TM30 form for a friend arriving in Thailand on July 28, considering that the immigration office will be closed on the national holiday and weekend following their arrival. The community clarifies that while the official rule requires reporting within 24 hours, enforcement can be lenient if reporting is delayed due to holidays. It is suggested that reporting can be done online or at a police station, especially since the immigration office will be closed until August 3. Furthermore, if the friend's stay is short and there are no extensions planned, some community members argue that it may not be necessary to report the TM30 at all.
