Yesterday I went to Korat immigration office to file TM30. We were told that we need to get a letter from the village health volunteer acknowledging that they're aware that I'm staying in the area. Does anyone know anything about this and what I need to do? I'm assuming this is a new thing due to the covid situation.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The post discusses a recent experience at the Korat immigration office where the author was informed that, to file a TM30 form, they must obtain a letter from a village health volunteer acknowledging their stay in the area. This has sparked confusion and skepticism among community members, with some stating that such a requirement has not been previously encountered. Others suggest online filing as an alternative, though issues with the system have been reported.

I will be here for an extended period of time. I have a Non-OA Visa (retirement).

Sounds like BS. Each immigration office has their interpretations of the “rules” But I’ve never heard of a village chief or health volunteer being part of the process.
