ORIGINAL POSTERHello! I got one-year retirement visa on June 17, 2023. I left Thailand in July 2023. I have just come back March 12.
Do I have to show up at the Immigration office to signal my presence? Or just wait for approximately June 17 this year for another visa?
Thank you so much for your help

TLDR : Answer Summary
After returning to Thailand on a one-year retirement visa, you may need to comply with certain immigration reporting requirements. It is necessary to check with your local Thai Immigration office about filing a new TM30 address registration, as many offices require this upon arrival in the country. Failing to do so might result in fines when you apply for your next visa extension. Additionally, you will need to complete your 90-day reporting starting from the date of entry into Thailand.

- Use the trusted Thailand 90 Day Reporting Serviceto get your in-person report done and mailed to you for as low as 375 THB (even if the online system doesn't work for you).

In the Jomtien office you need to update or file a new TM30 when you return to Thailand and you start 90 days from the date of your entry

I believe you will be due a 90 day report after 90 day ( Day of arrival counts as day 1) and apply for your extension 30 days before the one you have now runs out

You believe right but this was not the questionAnthony ******
@Graham *****
Sorry but I think you already new the answer after being out of the country for so long, and should really know when you go for your 90 day report so close to your extension ending they would be looking for an up to date TM30James ********

Contact your local Thai Immigration office ....Ask them for their requirements for the TM 30 address registration.
Many offices now require a new TM30 address registration be filed with Thai Immigration when you Return to Thailand.
Which Thai Immigration office do you use ?

the owner of the condo/ house you stay has to file the TM30.James ********
@Albert ********
and while that is TRUE. MANY do not as they are seeking to AVOID paying Thai taxes on the rental income.Graham ******
@Albert ********
But the OP will need to ask for one if requiredJonas *************
@Graham *****
so the 90 days report is basically showing up to show your presence at immigation.... Which is what he asked and what he has to do at the immigration or virtually online....Reply to

If you don't file a new TM30 there's a possibility of a 800 or 1600B fine when you go for your next extension so, as they say, up to you
