Do I need to report anything when entering Thailand again on a Non-O visa, and how does the 90-day reporting work after leaving?

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello,

I have a question regarding re-entry permit, currently on Non-O visa.

- When I fly out of Thailand an fly back in, do I need to report anything when I enter Thailand again? And my first report will be in 90 days at the immigration office correct? (Not online for first report)

- If I enter Thailand again, and if I fly out again before the 90 days report, is it correct that no report needs to be done? And the 90 days will start counting again the moment I enter Thailand after that?

TIA!!

TLDR : Answer Summary

When returning to Thailand on a Non-O visa, you or your landlord should file a TM30 form within 24 hours if you're staying at a new address, though many don't consider it necessary if returning to your main residence. Importantly, you must ensure to obtain a re-entry stamp from immigration before leaving Thailand. The 90-day reporting clock resets with each re-entry, meaning if you exit Thailand before the 90 days are up and return, you will not need to report again until 90 days after your latest return.

Be sure and get a reentry stamp at immigration before you go. If you’re going to be traveling a lot out of Thailand, get a multiple reentry stamp.

Every time you come back into Thailand, you restart the 90 day report clock.

I just recently went to Laos and went to immigration and asked if I needed a new TM-30 and they told me if I come back to the same address, I don’t need a new one.

This was Chiang Rai.

That’s office specific. Some don’t need a new TM30 if you return to your same address. Some need a new one every time you return. Others will need a new one if you’ve stayed in a hotel or hospital and return home afterwards.

I work at immigration in Phuket. I know their policy regarding TM30s. They require a new filing if you’ve stayed in a hotel or hospital - or anywhere that may have “overwritten” your previous filing. As stated it’s office specific.

how do you work at immigration if you are a foreigner?

Stuart *********

I volunteer there.

Thailand lets foreigners volunteer at immigration? Sorry, but this is way too hard to believe.

I’m sorry that you can’t comprehend that an immigration office realises that foreigners can help out at their office to liaise with other foreigners to help out easing the process of what they may need to do at an immigration office.

We volunteer to mitigate the process of what’s required and help those in need of services as to what may be required.

I’m sorry that you find it way too hard to believe that either people are willing to do that or that the Thai authorities allow it. Except it happens. Whether you can believe it or not it does.

When you return you (or your landlord) should file a TM30 within 24 hours. Many people don’t bother and unless you need interaction with immigration you don’t really need one. Some office don’t have this requirement if you’re returning to your main abode.

If you don’t stay 90 days you don’t need to report and the clock resets to day 1 on your return.

Sorry I should have said “interaction with a local immigration office”.

At an airport or land border they will not care if you have filed a TM30 or not.

Any foreigner regardless of nationality should have a TM30 filed within 24 hours of arrival at their accommodation. Hotels usually do it automatically, many house owners or Airbnb hosts don’t bother.

If you can give me some advice, can I leave before my two months expire and re-enter and receive 2 more months?

Cuban nationals currently get a free visa exempt stamp for 60 days on entry.

Usually leaving and returning you’ll get a new 60 day stamp. However depending on your previous entries to Thailand you may have issues at immigration if they think you may be trying to abuse the exempt entry system.
