ORIGINAL POSTER
My co teacher at work on Wednesday has renewed her visa and didn’t get a fine for not reporting with tm30 when she (they) arrived. She came in Thailand on the 3rd of May, 2019 with her daughter and husband, from the Philippines for a short vacay. Is there anyone here with similar experience? TIA

TLDR : Answer Summary
A poster shares their coworker's experience of renewing a visa in Thailand without facing fines for not submitting a TM30 report upon arrival. They inquire if others have had similar experiences. Commenters speculate that the coworker was likely on a visa-exempt status, which may not require TM30 reporting.

Hello what is a tm 30

Garrett Greenwald thanks for letting me know. Is it possible to do this online without having to go to immigration each time?

Garrett Greenwald from the various real estate agents we’ve spoken to, I understood that the landlords have to submit the TM30 each time we go in / out of the country. But if non-immigrant visa holders can do it themselves that would be easier as I don’t really trust that the landlord would submit it on time.

If she renewed visa one month after arriving she was probably on visa exempt ? Then not required

Doubt she was on exemption if shes teaching.
