What should I do if my hotel hasn't provided the TM30 after returning to Thailand on a retirement visa?

Upon returning to Thailand on a retirement visa, it is required for hotels to submit a TM30 report to immigration within 24 hours of your check-in. If your hotel only provided a letter confirming your stay and not a TM30, you may need to ask them to provide evidence of the submission, such as a screenshot or copy of the TM30. It appears that some immigration offices, like in Pattaya, are requiring a copy of the TM30 upon filing your first 90-day report, which has led to confusion among expats. In the event the hotel cannot provide the document, you might need to visit the immigration office yourself with the letter from the hotel to clarify your status.
