Hello,

Looking for advice & clarity about TM 30 reporting and tourist visa extension.

I arrived in Thailand Jan 10 on a NON-OA visa. I understand I have to do a 90 day reporting if I stay in Thailand 90+ days.  I’m confused about TM 30 and the 90 days reporting.  Do I still have to do the TM 30 (not sure my airbnb did) if I stay less than 90 days?

ii) My wife is in Thailand as a tourist as well, she has 30 days with her Canadian passport and would like to apply for a 30 day visa extension.  Again not sure if air bnb host reported our stay.  We initially stayed in Bangkok for 2 weeks and now in Rayong.  Do we have to do the TM 30 twice (one for the stay in Bangkok and now our stay in Rayong?  And if we are travelling around Thailand, do we have to report TM 30 each time we go to a different place with new accommodation?

I would appreciate your insights.  Thank you very much.

You need the TM30 for 90 day reporting. I didn't have a new one on my return to Thailand and my property manager said I didn't need one due to returning to the same residence. Pr|k cost me 1600 baht because of this BS advice

The immigration office where you stay MIGHT require you to show a TM30 filed when you go to do your 90 day reporting (where ever you are when that comes up).

You only need to show where you are via TM30 when you use the immigration office, you don't need to show previous ones. SO when you get close to 89 days in country make sure you have a TM30 filed at the immigration office of where ever it is you're staying so you can indeed file a 90 day report

Your wife will most likely need a TM30 filed to get her one 30 day extension she's allowed.

As long as you're not going to the immigration office where you're staying I'd say you're fine traveling around not worrying about a TM30. It's only for your 90 day reporting and your wife's 30 day extension you may be required to show proof one was filed at an address in the area served by the immigration office you're using.
