ORIGINAL POSTER

doing  the follow up to my initial Non-O  (retirement) VISA and the Tm 30.

Yesterday, went with my landlord to Suratthani Immigration with TM 30 filled out, ready to hand over the counter.

(No line at all just before Noon!)

They were  very polite, but turned us away, and said to file on-line?

Gave us a small info sheet.

In going to their web page, found the "english" option for the form, filled it in (again) but could not submit?

as it appeared that there was need to establish an "account"> and all of that could not be done in English.

Tod Daniels, have you seen others having this complication?

 (Trying to comply with the 24 hour rule)

Thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user shares their experience following up on a Non-O (retirement) visa and submitting a TM 30 form at Surat Thani Immigration. Despite being polite, the immigration officers directed them to file the form online. However, the user faced complications with the online submission that required creating an account, which they couldn't complete in English. They seek feedback on whether others have encountered similar issues.

Scott Gouker Unfortunately there is no consistency.. I also went to Surat Thani immigrations and had problems to get the stamped receipt but finally got it. I asked my landlord to open a account for the TM 30 so we can use that next time. Will check if he has opened already the account.

ORIGINAL POSTER

I'm having a hard time, getting my landlord to open an account.

I was right there with her on the computer (she doesn't even own one) and we couldn't set up a user name, or password??!!

When we called for help (Surat Immigration) they had no assistance to offer.

The local "Arbitor" "?" office is closed for a week while they re-locate to a new office.

SMH, I wonder Why the immigration Office won't accept original documents?

The "arbitor" "orbitor" (not sure of the spelling)

Is telling my landlord that I have to get a "Yellow Book" first??

@Tod ********

, have you ever heard of that?

(Trying to adhere to the rules).
