BANGKOK ONLY TM.30 UPDATE..

Okay, I was out at Chaengwattana on Thursday morning (like I am almost every thursday) AND they have a completely new section devoted ONLY to people filing TM.30 forms.

Previously they were done in section J, but now they have a new area section B with two desks pounding out TM.30 receipts.

The fine for failure to report within 24 hours of taking up residence is 800baht. In order to self file a TM.30 you need the blue house book listing of the owner, the thai i/d card of the owner, your lease and a filled out TM.30 form.

I would imagine (although I have no proof) that seeing as they just created a new section ONLY for TM.30 reporting that bangkok IS going to be getting on the band wagon as far as starting to enforce this policy.

I would suggest anyone who is on yearly extensions to just suck it up pay the 800baht fine and go self file a TM.30. There is no telling if/when it's gonna be mandatory to have the receipt to do anything out there (like it is at other immigration offices).

I am not posting this to scare anyone, I am posting this to share information only.. You can file a TM.30 in person, you can mail it in and you can do it online (if you can read thai and join the online program).

I have a question regarding 90-day reporting. I've trawled through the site but can't see an answer. I am here on an O-A visa which I obtained in my home country. Stamped into Thailand on 21 January 2019. My residence is in Phuket. So...I need to report around April 15th to Phuket Immigration? What if I am away in say, Khon Kaen at this time? Can I report up there, can I report online? Thank you in advance.

Hi all went to immigration today nightmare, talking to a guy in there he said once you come Thailand with any visa you have 48hrs to go to immigration to tell them where you are? He said law has changed any idea?? Many thanks and keep up the good work
