How does a new TM30 affect my 90-day check-in requirement in Thailand?

Question

I recently renewed my passport and had my retirement visa transferred to the new passport. Immigration now requires a new TM30 even though I remain at the same address. My question is, how does this affect my 90 day check-in timing? Does the new TM30 reset the 90 day clock, or do I continue check in at the date specified by my last check-in notice under my old passport?

Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Upon renewing your passport and transferring your retirement visa, you need to file a new TM30 to update your passport number in the immigration system. However, this new TM30 does not reset your 90-day check-in requirements. Your 90-day reporting date remains based on your initial entry into Thailand, not on the filing of the new TM30. Therefore, you should continue checking in on the date specified by your last check-in notice associated with your old passport.

It does not. 90 day check in is based on entry into Thailand.

Yep, you do that, your next 90 day report doesn't have anything to do with when you filed a TM30 🙂

Your TM30 has your passport number on it, which is why you need to file a new one.  As others have said, the TM30 has nothing to do with your 90 day report deadline.  Besides the fact it needs to match your passport and address you use to file it.

90 days from when you entered leaving and returning is the only way to re set a 90 day

Steve ************* · Answer

The new TM30 is because your new passport number is in the system replacing your old one. The 90 day reporting remains the same from the date you entered, not the date you did the new TM30.
