ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello, I have lived in Phuket about 20 months but have just recently moved to a house we are renting from some Thai friends. This is their first time to do the TM30 for tenants and they showed us today that it is still showing as Pending on the immigration site after more than a week since submitting. Is that normal? We thought usually it was a very straightforward and easy thing for a landlord to do. They are not sure what to do about it.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquired about their TM30 registration showing as 'Pending' for over a week after submission, questioning if this is typical. A commenter clarified that while the registration may appear pending, a TM30 filing itself cannot be pending since it functions as a database entry without approval. The comment detailed how to confirm the submission status and retrieve proof within a week.

The only thing that could potentially be pending is their registration for the TM30 system. A TM30 filing itself is never pending, because it's just a database. When a TM30 is submitted, it's already in the system. Each TM30 just replaces the previous one. There is no approval, there is no pending, it's just done.

Once a TM30 is submitted, you must go back to the home screen and then search for the submission. Once the result is pulled up, there is an "Export" button that is used to generate the pdf proof. This is only possible for 7 days after the TM30 is submitted, as after that it will not show up in search results, and a new TM30 would need to be submitted if proof was not obtained from the previous one.

How long does it take for the TM47 form for 90-day reporting to change from 'Pending' to 'Accept' or 'Reject'?
