Our son (Swiss) and his girlfriend (US) are visiting us here on Phuket for 5 weeks. Do they have to be reported by our Landlord at Immigration (TM30)? They entered the country visa-free for 30 days and would like to extend for another 30 days. Do they need the TM30 for this?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The landlord may not need to report your son and his girlfriend to Immigration (TM30) for their stay in Phuket, as local practice suggests that a TM30 is not required for short-term visa extensions in this area. Although official guidelines state a TM30 is necessary, experiences from others indicate it is often not enforced for 30-day extensions.
