ORIGINAL POSTER

Update on Chaengwattana TM30 mail-ins...  I mailed in a TM30 application for my wife and son on 26 July (EMS both ways). I got the receipt back today, 5 September. As we took a holiday in Pattaya in August, I mailed in another TM30 on 19 August, so still waiting for that one.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The TM30 mail-in application process is showing signs of improvement, with users reporting quicker processing times compared to previous experiences. For example, one user successfully received a TM30 application receipt within about 40 days, while another noted their application was acknowledged as delivered but still pending. Others have remarked on reduced mail backlogs at processing centers.

IF you don't get it back before your next 90 day report date comes up, take the proof of delivery and your EMS receipt with you when you go to do your next 90 day report.

They're getting better. When I was out there this morning there weren't the big plastic bins of mail in the TM30 section.

Either they're getting faster at doing them or they hid them out of sight :P
