Do I need to re-do my TM30 after spending a night in Bangkok while staying in northern Thailand?
Whilst staying in northern Thailand and decide to spend one night in Bangkok,am I expected to re-do my TM30?
Answer summary
When traveling within Thailand and returning to your original location, most local immigration offices do not require you to submit a new TM30 form. However, this can vary by location, so it's recommended to consult with your local immigration office for specific policies. During the pandemic, the TM30 re-registration requirement was relaxed, applying mainly to international arrivals or changes in residency.

It's a real pain if as me and my partner do travel often in Thailand....I can understand it if you leave the country but not when you are just traveling in Thailand and live here on a retirement visa...Were moving to live in the Khon Kaen area does anyone know what immigration there rules are on this ?

no. you don't have to. they have removed that policy during pandemic. you only required to do your TM30 whenever you arrived Thailand from international flight or whenever you change your residency.

The hotel in Bangkok will or won't file one whether you like it or not. Whether you need to do one when you return north is down to your local immigration office.

Register in with thai driving license and they will not file a tm30 so when do 90 day report again not a problem 👌

@Peter ********
your driving license has your passport number on it. Some hotels don't file tm30 and some do. I had one filed using my license to check in.

Driving license CAN have your passport number on it. Will be for most foreigners, but not for all. Could also be Thai id number.Peter *********
@Nick ***********
very unusual using driving liscene

Your passport number is on your driving license and the immigration system that hotels use have standard screen input - so doesnt avoid TM30 updates - when i did my last visa renewal in Sept they flagged a stay I made hua Hin - and I had to update my address before they would proceed daft if you live here but TIT

@Michael ******
Passport number is not always on driving license. It depends. But probably majority of foreigners will be passport number. But can also be the Thai id number.Peter *********
@Michael ******
did you check in with driving liscene or passport ?Michael *******
Farang driving license includes passport number and I have been using my DL for domestic travel for past 5 years - I understand airlines are now starting to revert to requesting passports for checkin for Domestic travel haven’t tried so can’t confirm this.

You need to ask your local immigration office what their policy is. Most do not require a new TM30 if you travel within Thailand and return home, but some do.

Do you know if Jomtien immigration requires a new TM30 after a trip elsewhere in Thailand ?Brandon ************
@Jon ****
Jomtien only requires a new one every time you leave Thailand and returnJon *****
@Brandon ***********
OK thanks a lotBrandon ************
@Jon ****
don't need to do any TM30 again even if you leave Thailand. Now you have to do it as soon as you return from outside the company. Caught a lot of people out and they got fined.Jon *****
@Brandon ***********

@Jon ****
the policy is subject to change any time they feel like it though. They just changed policy a few months agoJon *****
@Brandon ***********
Thanks for your helpful answer, as usual 👍Michael *******

interesting - Phuket was fine for 3 years then late last year they went back to demanding it when you did visa renewal - maybe they just want to push up agent revenue 🤔Activity
