You not always need TM30, I extended 2 times at Hat Yai, they did not ask for TM30.Ian **********
@Luit ****************
That is true if you stay in a hotel.Luit *****************
@Ian *********
I did not stay in a hotel, but in our own house.Ian **********
@Luit ****************
So have you ever done a tm30?Pat ********
@Ian *********
no I'm coming in May for 3 month then I have to return to work unfortunatelyLuit *****************
@Ian *********
first time I did not even do TM30, they never asked anything when I extended.Now I always register TM30 when we arrive

@Luit ****************
I never did one for 10 years but then they started clamping down. My local office is quiet so it's easy to do.Luit *****************
@Ian *********
TM30 is done online within a few minutes, you just have to remember when you arrive.Reply to

if it's your girlfriend condo and she rents can her landlord supply it for me ?Ian **********
@Pat *******
The owner of the building is responsible for reporting a foreigner staying at his property within 24 hours of arrival. He/she will need the blue book house registration, ID card and your passport. If this has not been done I suggest you check into a cheap hotel for a couple of nights before you apply for the extension. Even though it is the building owners responsibility they will fine you so cheaper to stay in a hotel.Pat ********

That's is not true. Hotels register you online. That is why they photo copy your passport when you check in. Immigration may want to see your proof of booking.Marc ********
@Ian *********
You still need the tm30 document the hotel provides for youHotel will do it online and give you a printout or screenshot.
This you have to show to immigration
So refrain from giving out wrong information🤦🏻

@Marc *******
