Hi everyone, need some advice here as I am freaking out a bit. My husband and I arrived in Bangkok mid October and are staying at my parents'. We just found out about the TM30 business as we're preparing for his extension request. Since, clearly, it's been more than 24 hrs since his arrival, is this a serious violation? Thank you in advance for your thoughts.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The OP is concerned about possibly violating TM30 regulations due to not filing within 24 hours of arrival in Thailand. Several users provided advice on how to proceed, such as filing the TM30 online now to avoid complications with the visa extension application. They clarified that missing the deadline is common among foreigners and typically results in a fine of about 800 baht. They also noted the importance of filing the TM30 to qualify for the extension at the Chaengwattana immigration office.
