Why is my online 90 Day report being rejected due to TM30 registration issues?

It seems that Immigration is now rejecting online 90 Day reports when your last TM30 registration was not in the place where you are living/applying.

My last TM30 at the place where I live dates from January 2020, before Covid. Since then I've only traveled within Thailand and this was never a problem with 90 day notifications, also not for my most recent one 3 months ago.

But today the system gave me a 'rejection' because it found that my most recent TM30 registration was close to two years ago in Bangkok. This is interesting because I stayed in a whole lot more places since then all over Thailand, but I guess none of those did a TM30 report. ๐Ÿ˜‰

So... People may want to think twice about checking into hotels with their passport because that means having to do another TM30. Which for some people is a hassle when they have to ask a landlord to visit the immigration office, etc.

(Of course if you have a login to the online TM30 site or app then it takes just 2 minutes to do another TM30 when you return after a holiday, so it's just a minor hoop to jump through. )

TLDR : Answer Summary
A recent issue has arisen where online 90 Day reports are being rejected if the TM30 registration at the applicant's current address does not match the last reported location. This became apparent when a user experienced a rejection despite having traveled and submitted 90 Day notifications without problems previously. It highlights the importance of TM30 compliance and the variability in immigration policies depending on local offices in Thailand. Users are advised to ensure their TM30 registration is up to date and accurately reflects their current living situation to avoid similar issues.

I always use my Thai ID card rather than passport and tell hotel TM 30 not required.

They need your nationality too, otherwise the TM30 cannot be submitted. (A passport number without nationality does not uniquely identify a person.)

By going to your district office for the place where you live and getting a yellow house book done. This will require cooperation from the home owner. The house book already has your ID on it, and at the same time you can then make a pink ID card.

How can a Foreigner have a "Thai ID" (other than a DL)?

They more often than not ask for passport to complete the TM30 so I have to tell them it's not necessary.

Will start doing that too. (And you don't even need to tell them about not doing a TM30; without a passport number or nationality they can't submit one.)

This is going to vary based on where you live, just like everything else in Thailand. Your local immigration office processes the 90 day reports based on the address you fill in, so if your local office has a policy that you have to file a TM30 every single time you leave your home and return, then they are going to reject your 90 day report if your last TM30 wasn't filed at the address you are doing the 90 day report on. (Please note that offices are known to change their TM30 policy from time to time as well, so if you used to follow the rules they might change the rules on you).

But if your local office doesn't care as long as you return to the same address, then you should be fine.

Also note that some people are just unlucky and get a random denial after many successful online submissions. You also need to make sure the address you are using for the 90 day report EXACTLY matches the address for the TM30 that you filed for the same address. If there's even a tiny mistake, they will reject it.

You can submit online 14 days before the day date until the day your 90 day report is due. There's nothing stopping you from submitting multiple times and tweaking it a little bit each time to see if they finally accept it.

You can report in person up to 7 days after you due date without any negative consequences, so submit submit submit then if all else fails go into the office to do your 90 day report (and maybe your TM30 too).

In your specific case, if they are telling you directly that it's not matching the TM30, I'd see if you can get the TM30 filed online ASAP and then try the 90 day report online again (assuming you still have time before the due date).

yes very good advice, especially trying multiple times online. It may be wise to update your TM30 online too if you can just in case a hotel booking has over ridden it although they say it shouldnโ€™t matter ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜€
