And again big discussion about the report of address with the TM30 form.
Dear members, it is so easy to follow the rules of your Immigration office, yes this is Thailand and new computer systems are implemented at several offices and yes that means training and staff to work with those systems,. And yes not all immigration offices has the time or staff to train and enforce this rule. Please commenting on a post like: I never did or I don't know or I paid fines does not make it clear.
The only thing that makes it easy for you ALL, contact your local Immigration Office and ASK, they don't kill you if if you ask information, but they provide the information and most of the time they are happy that YOU as foreigner want to stay inside Thailand within the rules.
Play their game and have a happy live, do what ever you like and pay fines. Remember that we all guest in this beautiful country and with playing their games we win more respect that just crying out loud: I did not know.
Enjoy your stay.
