Why does it take a week to get a TM30 for a 30-day extension at a hotel in Bangkok?
Asked for TM 30 so I could get a 30-day extension staying at Elizabeth Hotel Bangkok and they told me one week on Old system have to send messenger is this b*** or what ? I don't have a week.
Answer summary
The user expresses frustration about being told it would take a week to obtain a TM30 for a 30-day visa extension while staying at a hotel in Bangkok. Community members contribute their experiences, noting that online processes are typically quick and suggest that hotels can issue a second TM30 if requested. They emphasize that if properly registered, immigration should already have the necessary information, and the timeframe of a week could indicate that the hotel has not completed the registration.

Just go and get it sorted. If question about your TM 30 just explain the issue. Probably they have you registered on computer, so no fuzz. Worst case scenario is a 2000 Baht fine

BS. They probably haven’t done the registration.

Said on OLD System. They send messenger with paperwork ? BS you Not. 15 floors. Do they send a guy with boxes of paperwork each week ?Garrett ***********
@Sean ******
Tell them to turn their computer on and register online. It's free and takes 2 minutes.

You just need a copy of what they have already submitted. As for taking a week, that BS.

normally, if your hotel has registered you per TM30, Immigration can see it on their computer. Then you don't need a receipt of it or a screenshot . . but some Immigrations are pedanticJim ********
@Nongnuch *******
gonna say I’ve never needed one at Patong, Phuket town or Jomtien immigrationSean *******
OP@Jim *******
Ya headed down there. Probably faster than this BSJim ********
I’ve never taken a TM30 to do an extension. Is this a new thing? The hotel does it when I’ve checked in so must be visible for then Immigration staff 🤷♂️

OP@Jim *******

its a requirement at most immigration offices, and had been so for years.Jim ********
@Tore ********
in 16 years of travelling to Thailand I’ve never taken one for an extension. God knows why I’ve never been asked then. I assumed when the hotel submits it online the immigration see that so no need 🤷♂️Ant ***********
