Hi guys, my Uncle has been Non-O (Spouse) visa for many years. This current Non-O ends this Dec 2019. He recently went out of Bangkok to settle some family matters. Before exiting he did the re-entry premit. But was told by the immigration officer that he needs to report to Chang Wattana Immigration when he comes back to BKK. 

As in my question is that the immigration officer said that every time a foreigner with Non-O visa returns to Thailand they need to report to Chang Wattana Immigration? 

Anyone got the same issue here?

@Henry ********

at the airport when my Uncle was doing his re-entry. 2 days back. It should be TM30.

First time I read this, so let's wait for all the others who returned and got the same advice. The only reason for this advice seems to me to report or update his address at Immigration.

Currently TM30 reporting is only occasionally being enforced in Bangkok.
