What are the consequences of not annotating your TM30 after re-entering Thailand on a NON-O visa?

@George *******

Good Luck

@Geo***

<-AT THIS TIME, the affidavits issued by the consulates are valid for 6 months AND there has been NO new policy written to address how the "income method" of meeting the financial requirements will be implemented.

What James is saying is; because the income affidavits are good for 6 months from the date they're issued, get one BEFORE they stop issuing them on Dec 31st, and use it for your next yearly extension along with your documentation.

@George *******

ask Chiang Mai Immigration.

@Tod ********

you are correct. Thank you.

which while anecdotally interesting has nothing at all to do with this post about a TM.30 form and IS mentioned in the pinned announcement at the top of the group.. :(

@George *******

easy...read your postings 😀

Valentina O'Gara in CHIANG MAI you do it at the immigration office which recently moved back to their new location NEAR the airport.

if you have no dealings with immigration, chances are you'll probably get away with it on that previous entry.

But its better to just do it. But the process is very fast in Chiang Mai at the airport, It takes like 10 minutes of your time.

@George *******

, there's a chance that could work, especially IF you showed up right after getting back into town to update the TM.30.

OR

They'll see you neglected to update it on your previous entry and fine you anyway.

@George *******

, the good news is they are a little more flexible in the reporting 24 hours from when you get back home rule. So I'd go get the TM.30 receipt in your passport updated.

I participated in a converence room of a hotel, Immigration organized and set the place, depending on amount of participents.

Or if you really interested in the Immigration law and fines, ask to follow a seminar about the laws, fines, stamps etc. It is very interesting, at least that is my experience.

@Monti *******

Internet only provide Unofficial Translation, visit your Immigration Office and ask a copy of the law. One example, many to be find with Google

Okay, I follow the fines set by the Immigration laws, not by some notices send by landlords or their representives.

@Monti *******

Can you please show me where the fine is written on the TM30 Form?

Monti Rieman Sorry to disappoint you, both points you are wrong. The fine is maximum 2.000 Thb, but most foreigners are only fined 1.600 Thb. The landlord, house owner or house master are responsible to report the foreigner staying at private address. And in the translation used by Immigration the house master is the person who rents the private property, so that makes the foreigner as much responsible as the land owner or house owner.
