Yesterday I went to MTT Immigration Office to check status of TM30 application which the owner of rented condo was adamant she had mailed to Immigration early January. Kept telling me to “wait for receipt to come in the mail”.
Given it was some 5 weeks I had my suspicions and worry.
Arrived at MTT about 11.30am, went to get queue ticket, explained my issue. Then I showed her the paperwork I had prepared based on Tod’s “self filing” process. IO just said “oh OK” ( like she was quite familiar with it) and took me through to IO inside at counter. I explained issue and the paperwork I had prepared. I then went to another IO who checked paperwork and explained there is a 800 Baht fine which I expected. Off to another IO where I paid the fine and received my TM30 receipt. In and out in 25 minutes and a smile and helpful attitude from staff.
So Tod’s advice on self filing worked a treat. Thanks Tod.
(Post script - IO found no evidence of submission by owner.)
