What are the TM30 filing obligations for foreigners staying in Thailand?

This thread is getting more and more convoluted.. Sorry but I'm gonna shut it down

Check with your office to see how they are as far a their TM30 policy and follow it

100% the 90 day online rejection the O/P got was because they stayed at a hotel in thailand that filed a TM30 on them, and then they didn't file a new TM30 once they went back home and when they did their 90 day report the current address in the TM30 system was the hotel and the address they used on the 90 day system was their actual home address

okay, let's get this hashed out.

As far as the 90 day online system, it cross checks passport and address information with the TM30 system.

SOME offices require you file a new TM30 if you stay somewhere else other than your primary residence (where you have your TM30 filed) during inside thailand travel

SOME offices only require you to file a new TM30 if you return from international travel

AND

SOME offices only require you to file the TM30 once and whether you travel domestically (staying at a place that files a Tm30 on you) or return from international travel, as long as you go back to the address where your TM30 was filed, they're okay with it

It's office specific, so what we're not going to do is list how each and every one of the 80+ offices in the country handles TM30 requirements <- that's for you people to suss out with your particular immigration office..

As far as the O/P's predicament it was because they'd stayed at a hotel that filed a TM30 on them and then didn't update/re-file a TM30 when they went back home <- meaning their office requires a TM30 update for domestic travel (if you stay where a TM30 is filed inside thailand)

Just a note in regards filing your 90 day report online which have discovered talking to other people.

The first time you have to make your 90 day report best go to Immigration with the correct details of where you reside on the TM 30 form

The second time you have to apply try using the online using the same details on the previous TM 30 form.

The online lodgement usually goes bonkers when the details don’t match the original 1st one you file.

Only my experience I heard this new app called ( Thim ) Thai Immigration, will in the near future facilitate the lodgement of the 90 days report online and hopefully work better than the system available now.

Good Luck 🤞

I've been doing my 90 day check-ins for the last 2 years on line and then the last 3 times it's been rejected so needed to do a in person check-in.

I asked the immigration officer why it keeps being rejected when I do it on line. His reply was "I don't know but here's your new 90 day slip"

The reason you couldn't file the report online was because the hotel you stayed at in Krabi did file a TM 30 on you and you didn't refile a new TM 30 after you got home to your real address.

The online 90 system cross checks data against the TM 30 system. And it still showed your most recent TM 30 as being from the hotel you stayed at not you home address
