TLDR : Answer Summary
Many users are experiencing delays in receiving approval for the TM30 immigration app, with some suggesting it may take 6-8 weeks. Others have had quicker success, receiving approval within days. Concerns regarding the app's functionality and the acknowledgment of submitted reports have been raised, along with discussions about different apps available for immigration reporting, such as the TM30 and 90-day reporting apps. Issues with email confirmations and app accessibility for iOS users have also been noted.

and as this turned into yet another TM30 thread. We're done,

check with YOUR immigration office to find out exactly how they want it done.

@Jody ********
you REGISTER to use the application, they send you a "confirm your email" email, THEN they send you a user name and temporary password. You log into the system change your password THEN you can start using the online TM30 system to register people at your address

@Jody ********
right remember ACCESSING the application and actually being able to have a user name and a password to USE the application to register someone on the TM30 online system are two completely different things.

here is a screenshot of the app when opened.

Amazingly I’ve never been sent my password.....

unless I'm mistaken, it's actually not out yet for iPhone. even if you scan the bar code for it out at immigrations you get that too.

the TM30 is missing from this App list, at least of right now after I clicked it

yes, i am in Germany now and I am clicking the link you provided. I guess it is secure-localized, and you can only open the correct three different Apps when you are in Thailand. I only see the second and the third App

:O

@Gregor *********

Tod *********
The TM30 app is the first one
Tod *********
okay, there are THREE different Apps

the TM30 (Section 38)

the 90 day online (eService)

the TM6 arrival/departure card printing program

here's the link for the android apps

Some students up at my Uni in BKK have reported that the response email has gone straight to spam/junk? Might be worth checking there.

cheers, there is an initial response email asking to confirm email address, it then informs you on the app that it will be resolved in 7 working days

I thought if you lived in Metro BKK you could mail it in. I don’t trust the Internet

Thanks 👍

there are thousands of people who are waiting for a user name and temporary password from the online system. I would say it'll take 6-8 weeks minimum.

It's said 7 working days on their website. I guess they are swamped by attached documents.

Hint: It’s not secure...

@Ryan *****
are they still using Internet Explorer? How can it be secure?

@Tod ********
Lets just hope their system is secure, or everyone’s addresses, passport information, phone numbers, emails, etc will be all over...
