Hi,
Thanks a lot in advance for your help !
I read on the previous posts that a TM30 is necessary when applying for a covid extension at Chaeng Wattanna office.
However I don't have a TM30 because:
- until now, I had a non B visa from BOI office and it seems that I was therefore exempted of the TM30 process
- from now, I don't have a permanent address anymore (I checked out from my condo and I'm on holidays, going from an hotel to another...)
Do you think it will be a blocking point ? Any advice ?
Some explanations on my situation: my work permit / non B visa will be cancelled at Sam Yan office on the 22nd of March, I will try to get the covid extension the day after, my intention is to stay a few weeks on holidays in Thailand before I definitely go back to my country in May (my justification will be that the vaccine ramp up is in progress in France so the situation should improve by mid of may ...)
TLDR : Answer Summary
The original poster is unsure if they need a TM30 when applying for a COVID extension since they are currently staying in hotels and do not have a permanent address. Several commenters confirm that a TM30 is necessary, but if the hotels they are staying at have filed it, they might already have a record. They suggest asking the hotels for proof of TM30 submission and caution that there are no exceptions to the TM30 requirement, even if they were previously exempt due to their work with a BOI company.
