TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion revolves around the TM30 notification process in Bangkok and other Thai cities, highlighting the inconsistencies and requirements faced by expats when dealing with immigration officers. Participants share their experiences, mentioning that Bangkok CW Immigration may require a TM30 before allowing a 90-day reporting, while other areas like Samutprakan enforce address reporting every time one leaves and returns to Thailand. There is also confusion about whether TM30 can be submitted at police stations and what to do if one does not have lease documents. Suggestions include using translation tools to navigate Thai immigration resources.

In several Thai cities people has to do this longer time, some with even much more enforcement and documents. Here are the most Q&A about the TM 30 notification. I don't see the importance to have several topics about the same subject, all with questions allready answered in this post and keep topics open for the same questions:

Is it 100% factual that Bangkok CW Immigration office is asking for a TM30 before they let you do a ninety day report.

This has been going on in Samutprakan Immigration for a while now. You need to report your address everytime you go out of the country and return even if your address has not changed it is 'pain in the arse'. If you return to Thailand on the weekend Samutprakan will allow you to report the following Monday without the fine. Each immigration seems to have their own procedures on this and timings you need to check with the immigration in your area.

just go to the immigration office the next day they are open.

you can ONLY use a police station if there is no immigration office in the province you live in. <- meaning you can't go to a police station in bangkok..

Use these two tools and you'll be fine if you have sufficient patience. Google Chrome browser will do automatic machine translation of Thai text into English. Google Translate phone app will do machine translation of images containing Thai text into English when you use your camera to take a picture of the image. Machine translation is not 100% accurate but when you have context you should be able to figure out what information they are looking for and what buttons to press.
