Is it necessary to file a TM 30 if I return to the same address in Pattaya after visiting Bangkok for 3 days?

It's you permeant address don't need to register again

I live in Bangkok I have traveled all over Thailand, staying in Hotels. I have never filed a new TM30 on returning home, and have never had any issues with 90 day reports or renwel of extensions. The ONLY time I did a new TM30 was on my return from Vietnam.

It takes 2 minutes to do, no hassle

i extended my retirement last week without any tm30( jomtien) I go out and in to thailand every month

Last April I went for one night in a Bangkok hotel. Before I left Jomtien, I asked the Jomtien immigration office if I'd need to file another TM30. They said no, not if I was returning to the same Jomtien address. My next 90 day report came up, and I filed online. Approved, as usual, no problem. To be safe, you might want to stop into the immigration office and ask them if you stay 3 nights in Bangkok, would you need to file a new TM30. Better you get the info for your situation yourself, directly from the immigration office. Good luck.

It's a mixed bag of Reports about the need to file a TM30 address registration when you are traveling inside Thailand and returning to the same address currently on file with Thai Immigration.

Even inside the Jomtien immigration office, different desks give you differing answers.

To be safe, suggest you file a new TM30 address registration.

Did you stay in a hotel in Bangkok, where you stayed in Bangkok did they register you there?

By the rules, yes, but if you are not filed in Bangkok then don't worry about it but if you stay at a hotel and they file, then you will need to refile back in Pattaya because your Pattaya address will no longer be valid because of the hotel filing.
