Do I need to file a new TM30 upon returning to Thailand after traveling to Hong Kong?
I have just got my retirement Visa and will be leaving Thailand in April to Hong Kong just before my 90 days.
I am in Hong Kong for 4 days doing tourist stuff.
My TM30 wasn’t given an expiry date when I went to the immigration office in Jomtien.
My question is do I need to file another TM30 when I return, or is my current TM30 still valid.

Do it, it's free and took me 10 minutes in Jomtien this week.

When i was at Jomtien for an extension, I had to renew my tm30. I thought maybe because I was ona visa exempt entry, so I clarified with the IO. Even if on a 1 year extension and leave Thailand, a new tm30 is required. That lesson cost 1600฿ 🤣

funny to see how matters are handled in different immi offices. We went to a hotel in Udon Thani for 3 days recently and when we returned home I asked our immi if we should file a new tm30 ( I asked on the Line app) and the answer was yes!

At most offices you have to file a new TM30 once you come back into the country
BUT
you will have to check with Jomtien when you get back.
Some people reported that they were not requiring a new TM30 when you come back to the same address you had one filed at

that is largely the case. Was never an issue for me in over 9 years at the same address.
