Hi all

l have been in Pattaya doing  90 day extentions based on retirement for the past 2 years. ( l have never ever done a TM30)

Last week l went the Hua Hin and stayed in a hotel for a week.

l returned today and went and did my 90 day report which was due.

My question is :-

Should l have done a TM30 report as l just returned from staying in Hua Hin and if l did do the TM30 will l be looking a fine for never doing one 2 years ago when l last entered Thailand.

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user has been residing in Pattaya on a retirement visa and has completed 90-day reporting for the last two years without filing a TM30 report. Following a week-long stay in a hotel in Hua Hin, they are uncertain about the requirement of filing a TM30 upon their return and if they will incur fines for not having filed one previously.

you have not been doing 90 day extensions based on retirement :/ You get an extension for a whole year.

You have been doing 90 day reporting, and I would say that you might as well file a TM.30 because you're not going to get a new one from Jomtien when this one expires without having filed one.

The fine doesn't change based on the length of time you failed to do a TM.30. It's usually 1600baht

There are reports that jomtien is getting harder about that TM.30. Now maybe I'm wrong about them wanting proof you've done one for a 90 day report :/ BUT I know they want them for extensions of stays.

surely the 90 report is in itself proving my address at time of report?

@ริช****

, and you did it at the Jomtien immigration office?

Hi Tod

1.l just did my 90 day report no problem.

2.TM30 was not mentioned.

So l am thinking l may as well just keep doing my 90 day reports and not mention anything about TM30

Do I need to report back to my local immigration office after traveling to Bangkok on a Non-O retirement visa if my hotel registers my TM30?
