Was this walk in outside the main immigration office?

Alternative for downloading is filing TM47 online, and when it got rejected because it is the first one of stay, just print the online filled form and take that to the immigration office.

Yes, it's very easy and for most immigration offices very quick. π Ignore the lazy, impatient and entitled ones.

Did you need a tm30 ?

@Milan ********************
In Jomtien you need to attach the physical TM30 copy. In Chiang Mai he does not look at it and scans passport. It does need to be complete and up to date though. In Jomtien if I travelled and returned to same address no need to update. In Chiang Mai it has to be resubmitted upon return from travel.Milan *********************

: i have to do first time 90days report at jomtien. Cause fresh dtv. But no problem to get tm30 of house owner.Greg ********
It is easy at Jomtien. Get the TM30, fill in TM47 form there and hand over to Asmin staff in building forst right as you enter. Usuallt takes 20 minutes or so. They collect the applications in batches at that desk and take through to the Immigratin Officer in batches. They give you a number and when the passports come back they shout out the number. I always went just before 9am and never out later that 9:30

the landlord sends it in me gives you a copy. You need to make sure it was submitted. If my chance they canβt find it or there is an issue you can present your copy. Itβs your proof.

Mondays and Fridays are usually the busiest, in the main cities, like Pattaya, Chiang Mai and Bangkok.
Go in the middle of the week, to avoid crowds.

I went to Chiang Mai. It was not bad. I was in and out in 20 min. Could be location as there is an office in the central mall. Plus I investigated before going. I found Mon-Tue was the lightest days.Reply to
