I'm currently staying in a guesthouse in Bangkok. I'm here as a tourist. At some point, I might have to go to the immigration office to get an extension. I'm here on a 30 day visa exempt stamp. My question is this : do I have to worry about TM 30? I will only be staying in Bangkok.

TLDR : Answer Summary
If you are staying in Bangkok on a 30-day visa exemption stamp, you need to ensure that your guesthouse files a TM30. This is important for obtaining an extension at the immigration office. It's advisable to talk to your guesthouse management to confirm that this has been done to avoid any fines.

You will indeed need to have a TM30 filed in order to get a 30 day extension at IT Square Laksi Plaza <- the immigration office that people on free entry stamps go to get the 30 day extensions.

So talk to who ever runs your guest house because they're supposed to be filing TM30's on their guests 🙂
