I am, currently immobile. My 90 day report was due (My 1st since returning from Vietnam in July) I did try on line, but it was refused of course. I had an agent do it for me and all is well. One thing bothers me though, Imm Officer at CW KEPT MY TM30. Now I have done 90 day reports at CW and have never been asked for, or even to produce my TM30. Is this now a requirement at CW?

(I still have my original TM30 which was done when I first arrived 6 years ago)

TIA

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking clarification on whether providing the TM30 form is now a requirement for 90-day reporting at Chaengwattana Immigration Office, as their TM30 was kept by the officer during their visit. They mentioned that they have reported in the past without needing to present the TM30 and inquired if this is a new requirement.

probably a mistake.. Here in CM they always want to see tm30 if 90 day in person, but they do give it back..Not a big deal though as you are in the system. Next 90 day can be online - unless you have been away, in which case you will need new tm30 anyway

So if you do your TM30 online you just reprint the one last used (if within 7 days of creation) or create a new one when required. In the future download and save the PDF not just print it ;)
