I'd asked the other day about Mae Sai border runs. Went today, had no issues. Do I need to update my TM30 in Chiang Mai tomorrow since it was same day exit/entry? It hadn't really occurred to me that I might need to til now.

Answer summary

A user inquired about whether they need to update their TM30 form in Chiang Mai after a same day exit and re-entry at the Mae Sai border. Commenters confirmed that an update is necessary due to the new TM6 Arrival/Departure card, as exiting the country requires updating the TM30. Some users mentioned having arrangements with their condo offices to handle the update efficiently, while others shared their experiences regarding the importance of keeping the TM30 updated even if they did not face any immediate issues during their previous travels.

Thanks for the responses. Once I thought about it, it made sense that I'd need to update the form. I was just stuck on my "but I wasn't even gone for an hour" logic and needed confirmation.

I did the same border bounce earlier this year and knew nothing about TM30 process so did not re-register. I did not run into any problems because I was on a METV and had no reason to visit immigration. The next time I will get the place I stay to do it even if I will not need to go to immigration for any other reason.

You do, yes, although whether it will impact on anything if you are on a tourist stamp is another question. My condo office does it for me online, I just give them my passport when I come back and it takes them 2 minutes. Worth asking, depending on your living arrangements, it's certainly quicker than going out to immigration to do it yourself.

It tends to be easier for me to go myself with how my landlady is.
