ORIGINAL POSTER
Kanchanaburi Immigration office today.

Filed a TM30 after a return from a trip to Bangkok and Pattaya. Asked if this is still required, answer yes.

Requested a date change to report 3 months after my extension for bank book check - happy to amend to 1 week later to save me 2 trips in one week.

Thanx for the updates.

The sound advice is CHECK WITH YOUR IMMIGRATION OFFICE to know how they want you to do it (y)

. It appears different offices have different policies. At CW I was told if I don't leave Thailand and I return to same address, it's not needed
