Is blue ink important when registering the TM30 online?

@Robert ********

you can easily download the TM30 notification once you’ve done it yourself online and then print it from your device if needed.

exactly this post not correct

I file dozens of TM30s daily for multiple hotels and villas I manage, for over 10 years. I've probably filed over 200,000 TM30s. We must keep a paper or digital copy of the passport biodata page for every foreign guest. Perhaps your hotel accepted a Thai drivers license, as it contains the passport number, but it still doesn't list the nationality, and driver's license isn't an approved document by the government acceptable in place of the passport. There's no need to sign the passport page. If we get randomly inspected by immigration (which has happened), we must show that we have the passport copies with the guest registration records, and that TM30s have been filed for each foreigner currently staying.

yes a very good idea, never thought I would need so many copies here in TH. Its more comfortable than always running to find and drive to a copy shop where by tge way the copies look awful.

@Pete ******

also this post sounds not correct. Whenever I check into hotel I don’t use my passport so how does the hotel file a TM30?

@Michael *******

no is not needed when doing a TM30 online
