ORIGINAL POSTERHi do we need to report our tm30 after returning from outside the country at Chiang Mai immigration within 24 hours? If so does it take long? Tia
TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you need to report your TM30 after returning to Thailand, and you have a total of 7 days to do so. While it is suggested to complete the reporting within 24 hours, many expats have noted that the process at Chiang Mai immigration is quick and efficient, taking hardly any time at all. It is possible to begin this process at the airport upon arrival, which some find more convenient than going into the city the following day.

Is there any way you can do this at the airport when you arrive? Bit of a hassle going into Promenada the following day. Especially after long flight.

ok thanks. The old Immigration office was ( is) near the airport but on arrival it's a hassle to get to it as it's near but not at the airport- hopeless to try and park there.Tod *********
@Su***
The old immigration office used to be there before they moved it to Promenada Mall. I don't know if you can file TM.30 forms there or not. I'd post your question in a Chiang Mai related group.Susan **************
@Tod ********
do you mean there is an office at Chiang Mai Airport. I'd like to do it when I fly in if possible.Tod *********
@Su***
, you could do it the day you arrive IF you get to the immigration office before they close at 4:30, but that'd be the only way.Susan **************
@Emily ********
why can't you do it the day you arrive? Do you mean the old immigration building where we went before we moved to Promenada? If that's the case Promenada is easier with better parking. I just wanted to do it on arrival.Emily ******
ORIGINAL POSTERI did it SO easily the next day at airport immigration building 3 - 2 mins only

@Emily ********
did you have your old receipt? I just wanna avoid the show up, get turned away, and have to go back twice thing..Emily ******
ORIGINAL POSTERJustin I just did mine at immigration at the airport. Building number three. No queue, no other people waiting. I'd go and ask the staff there. They seemed very friendly, I'm sure they can help you sort it out easily.

Damn.. it was in Chiang Mai. Any guidance on what documents I would need would be gratefully appreciated. I remember I had my real estate agent him me with it but she’s not around anymore 😕

you need the same documentation you needed when you first filed the TM.30. That's going to depend on what office you filed it at and what documents they required from the owner of the property.

It doesn't take hardly any time at all. They restamp your current tm30 receipt and enter your departure card into their computer system

Do foreigners still need to file TM 30 within 24 hours of returning to their residences in Thailand?
