Do I need to file a new TM30 when returning home from a short holiday in Thailand?

Never in 14 years , my wife and I go away regularly ....

The rules vary at some offices, but in Nakhonsawan they told me I don't have to renew, even when I leave the country, as long as I have a re-entry permit.

From personal experience. Yes, I went to see them to start my application 2 days later. I took my parents to Bangkok to fly home. We stayed in the hotel. We get the phone call from the I o questioning, made us go back and redo the pink form we explained the reason of why I was stationed at my wife's farm. But staying in the hotel in Bangkok, they accepted. But if in the future, I stay in other hotels because of my wife's workload, they said to do an online update to them

Yes

Depends on your local immigration office. You need to go and ask them.

I was told by my lawyer about this and if I have a long-term lease at say a condo and I travel within Thailand overnight in some places and return to my condo there's no need to refile the TM 30 if I leave the country and come in through immigration and return to my long-term condo then I need to renew the TM 30 this is how it was explained to me I was told that if I'm just bouncing around within Thailand borders and I already have a team 30 with my long-term lease condo there is no need to renew it when I get back after staying in hotels

Do not give your passport or ask them to do or not do it TM30. Most off hotels do not do it TM30 ask them before you stay. But say: I need TM 30 you do it or not ? If they say no you can say ok no problem not so important.

Yr TM30 should specify the length of yr stay, should not need to refile every time u stay @ hotel.

We go on holiday stay in hotels ,never filled the TM30 on returning home,never any questions asked.

You will see a wide range of answers on this as the actual answer is office specific. Some will insist on an updated TM30 if you’ve stayed in a hotel or hospital, some won’t if you’re returning to your usual residence even if you’ve been abroad. Others only want an updated one if you’ve travelled overseas and returned.

Ask your office for their policy or state the office you’re going to use and others may know it.

Wait sorry, if I live in chiang mai but go to khon kaen for 3 nights I need to fill out a form online?

Legally, if you are returning to your previously recorded location within the check-in> check-out dates on the tm30 for that location, after any sort of travel, you do not have to file a new record.

For the sake of practibility its best to reregister at least once a year before your visa extension or where you may need to produce a copy to the IO.

Your house/condo should have null checkout date, making it an underlying permanent record, hotels fill in checkout dates creating temporary records which expire.

I have a non-oh Visa extended with marriage

We actually got told off at immigration because we bought a fresh tm30 with us when I applied for the 12 months extension

And I was told specifically we can travel anywhere as long as it is in Thailand and we or my wife does not have to file for a new TM 330 every time

This can sometimes be yes, sometimes no. It depends what your immigration office wants. In Pattaya (Jomptien office) my lease agent told me that if you have a long stay address (ex. condo lease) - as long as you return to the same address, it's not needed. I'll be confirming this on my next visit to Jomptien immigration office.

Technically speaking you should reregister when you get home. They want to know where you are every day within 24 hours of each arrival

Is this something new have been to thailand twice stayed at a friend's cond.both times never did tm30 but getting ready to go back will this be a problem

Yes, you need to do a new TM30 when you return home.

My IO in

@Phichit ************

said not to worry about it as long as you return to the same residence

Pink card does not have passport number, it has Thai ID number.

Thai driving license if issued based on Yellow Book and Pink card does not have passport number. DL has Thai ID number from the Pink Card. Hotels will not submit their TM30 if you check in with one of the two cards.

Address (TM30) never changes unles you really move to another place.

Air travel within Thailand does not need passport if you have Pink Card.

I have been here a few years and often go on holiday, I have never done a new TM30 when get home. Never had an issue.

When you get home you’r landlord is suppose to file a new TM30

I’m back in the USA after three weeks well needed vacation in Thailand, I’ll be turning 63 in a couple of months and was waiting till I turn 65 to retire and move to Thailand but I think I’ll change my mind and retire this year and live a little while I still can!! What are my next steps in making this a reality? How does one go about getting a retirement visa? I should have an income of a little over $2,000.00 from my social security income and about the same from my pension once I turn 65 in two years I’ve also got the required amount saved up in the bank to qualify for this visa, what and where (I’m in the NYC area) do I have to go for this??

Yes, if it‘s one of the hotels that do the TM30, it‘ll show in the computer. Apparently some immigration offices say that for short trips and returning back to the same address as before does not require a new TM30. I do it anyway, online it‘s a 3 minutes job.

You should do a new tm30 once back in your house.

You can do it online if your house is registered with immigration which gives you a login.

Better safe than sorry 🤷‍♂️

If you have a pink card check in with that instead of your passport. Guidance from Chaeng Wattana is if you're going back to your home there's no need to do a new TM30

I go back to the IO within 24 hrs of arrival back to the province I live in.... Just in case..

I was in Thailand for the past 3 weeks and stayed at 4 different hotels, would they all file a TM30 on me, and what is a TM30 or an IO???

Should always err on the side of caution. Always make sure your location is up to date. Very easy to do online. Good luck 🍻🍻🍻😎🌞

Depends on the Immigration office.

Yes it will show up in the system as your current location.

Some office may update for you during the process, most will expect you to have it up to date.

Not necessary here with Hua Hin Immigration. Just to add to this comment, I have been away touring in Thailand, in hospitals and to UK over the years and never had to bother.

Not really sure what you are asking, if you travel in Thailand and stay at a hotel the filed a tm30 then when you get back home I think you need to refile that you are back home? The tm 30 lets immigration know your location

Depends on the office, some want it updated some dont.
