Do I need to file a TM30 each time I travel out of Thailand with a Non-Immigrant O Marriage visa?

@Lars *******

depends on the requirements of your local Thai Immigration office. ASK them.

@Vivian ******

ask them.

@Mark ********

hotel I stayed in last night in Bangkok wouldn't accept my Thai driving licence

@Roberto ***********

not all Thai Immigration offices require that. ASK yours.

@Fra ****

No it isn't, but the different ways individual offices apply the rulings make it useless to read the actual rulings. So, GO ASK AT YOUR OFFICE

@Rob ******

Not a clear yes or no binary.. Chiang Mai says no, as long as you remain on the same permission of stay (extension with re-entry permit).

They are less clear, giving both yes and no answers unfortunately, on a different entry on a long multi entry visa.

@Goodd ******

ask your local Thai Immigration office. There are different rules for filing the TM30 in the 80+ offices nationwide.

@Paul ******

not true, my office Jomtien do NOT require a refiled TM30 when returning to your primary residence regardless if returning from abroad. It depends on the policy of the individual immigration office.

@Charles ******

this had nothing to do with the TM30

@Charles ******

read the post before answering.

@Charles ******

totaly unrelated

@Charles ******

nothing to do with the question. A re-entry does not keep you from being required to file another TM30.

That question was recently asked and

"okay, let's get this hashed out.

As far as the 90 day online system, it cross checks passport and address information with the TM30 system.

SOME offices require you file a new TM30 if you stay somewhere else other than your primary residence (where you have your TM30 filed) during inside thailand travel

SOME offices only require you to file a new TM30 if you return from international travel

AND

SOME offices only require you to file the TM30 once and whether you travel domestically (staying at a place that files a Tm30 on you) or return from international travel, as long as you go back to the address where your TM30 was filed, they're okay with it

It's office specific, so what we're not going to do is list how each and every one of the 80+ offices in the country handles TM30 requirements <- that's for you people to suss out with your particular immigration office..

As far as the O/P's predicament it was because they'd stayed at a hotel that filed a TM30 on them and then didn't update/re-file a TM30 when they went back home <- meaning their office requires a TM30 update for domestic travel (if you stay where a TM30 is filed inside thailand)
