Do I need to provide lodging information for a 30-day extension of my tourist visa in Thailand?
I need to do the 30 day extension for my current 30 day tourist exempt entry. US passport. Will I need to provide lodging information this time? Do I need to apply in the district I will be staying, or any office is fine?
Answer summary
To extend your 30-day tourist exemption in Thailand, you may need to provide lodging information, particularly proof of the TM30 filing by your accommodation. You must apply in the province where your TM30 is registered, and some immigration offices may require a copy of this form, so it's advisable to obtain it from your lodging provider before going to the immigration office.

The owner of the location you are staying at would have been legally required to file a TM30 for you within 24 hours of your arrival. Whatever province that is listed on your most recent TM30 is the immigration office that you would use. Some immigration offices require proof of the TM30 and some do not, so you might ask the owner, front desk, etc, for a copy of the TM30 before you go to the immigration office just to be sure.

when we arrived this trip, immigration did not ask for, or require any lodging forms. First time I had seen this

when you arrived you hadn't already checked in to hotel/ accomodation so wouldn't have a TM30. Arrival Immigration wouldn't ask for this. You're now asking about going to an immigration office to extend stay, different thing to arriving.Linhof *********

That's the TM6 and it's been suspended for a long time. TM30 has nothing to do with your arrival at the the airport.Robert *********

January 15, two Cambodia border crossings since then.Stuart *********
@Robert ********
sorry but I don’t understand the date you mentioned, nor bounced your limit. I suspect the latter is referring to you’ve done two land border crossings this year using exempt entries.Robert *********
@Stuart ********
but I did, I actually arrived ****
, when I extended I had an agent do the extension and TM30. I’ve bounced my limit at this point since then.Stuart *********
@Robert ********
Ah ok. That explains it. For future reference they only require a filed TM30. If you stay a night in a hotel and get a print of their filing then you’re good to go. Regardless that you actually arrived in Thailand 29 days ago and didn’t actually have one from any previous stays.Robert *********

Jomtiem, please acknowledge seeing my reply and then I’m going to delete. I have no don’t this page is monitoredStuart *********
@Robert ********
Wow. What office was this? Any fine in theory should be paid for by your house owner/ landlord/ hotel, etc who didn’t file. Except that they generally aren’t and you have to stump up the fine if you want service.Robert *********

I was fined 1600b this past Monday because I didn’t notify immigration within three days of my border crossing entry. I couldn’t apply for the 1900b extension without first paying the fine.Linhof *********
OP@Brandon ***********
hmm, ok a bit confusing.Brandon ************
@Linhof ********
You run the risk of getting fined if you try to do it in person the day of your applicationLinhof *********

you can only file a TM30 for today. You can't file in the past. But that's not an issue. She would either need to register online and file that way, or go with you to immigration with her house book and ID card and help you file a paper copy.

oh ok. I am staying in my wife's house. Would she need to download and complete the tm30 herself, and starting the day we arrived?Activity
