Is the unofficial website tm30.io safe for filing TM30 forms for immigration in Thailand?

I would like to report that this morning I received acceptance of my on line 90 day report from the official immigration website. This was following on from filing my tm30 twice using the unofficial tm30.io website. I can only assume that Thai Immigration accept tm30 filing on this unofficial site so the worry that it could have been a scam collecting data seems to be unfounded.

Does my logic make sense to everyone?

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user reports successful acceptance of their 90-day report via the official immigration website after filing their TM30 forms using the unofficial tm30.io site. They express relief in assuming tm30.io is legitimate, but comments point out that despite its functionality, there are concerns about data harvesting. Others note the presence of promotional materials for tm30.io at local Immigration Offices, indicating some level of recognition.

Did not realise until I saw your post that TM30.io is unofficial.

The Immigration Office in Koh Samui had several signs advertising it.

that is interesting. I hope they have heard if it out here in the sticks.

Just because it works doesn't mean they're not harvesting your information. But the general opinion is that they're legit and just ramping up to offer paid services to larger volume entities like hotels.

I don't use them because I don't want to give my passport number to a private company I know nothing about - and besides that after immi have changed their system it is much easier to report from the official website

takes work away from immigration.

@Nick ***********
why? because they send the data to immigration and if the data comes from you or from a private company I really don't see that it should be less work from immi
