ORIGINAL POSTER

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?

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?
