TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses the necessity of the TM30 form for visa extension in Thailand, particularly for Australian expatriates. Responses suggest that while some immigration offices may require it, others may not, indicating variability in enforcement. It is recommended to check directly with immigration authorities or the hotel where one is staying for guidance and potential required documentation.

It can be but it varies. Ask your hotel for a receipt.

Where are you located?
