ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi all. May need to leave the country, visa exempt up on the 26th but want to get another 30 days. Lampang immigration may not give me another visa due to landlord not registering us. I am in Chae Hom, 40 minutes out of lampang. Does anybody know if it would be possible to get a van or driver to take us to the nearest border please. It is myself and three kids. Thank you :-)

You can print out the TM30 form, you find in the files section of this page. Ask your landlord a copy of his ID and housebook both signed by him and register the address.

I have no experience with border runs for more than 14 years. Can not help you with that. If your landlord does not understand, you can show him this video, its funny but very well explained in Thai and English.

it's 1600 I think. My landlord sorted it out on my rent as it was just an accident but it all depends on your landlord
