TM30 question

Do we need to do TM30 everytime the foreigner stays somewhere ?

Case : a foreigner on Non-O retirement 90days stays at an Thai person's private home in BKK, the first TM30 has been done on the first day. When this foreigner travels back and forth to, other provinces, inside Thailand,

( I suppose each hotel does TM30 for thier client. )and come back to the same house, does the (in BKK) house owner needs to do a TM30 each time the foreigner is back ?

Thank you for sharing. Sorry if wording is confusing, hope it's understandable.

This foreigner plans to make 1 year extension in Bangkok.

I have a trip coming up and we're renting a car. I realised just now my license expired on my birthday a few days ago. I understand I need a certificate of residence, does anyone know how long it takes to get one? Someone told me a week, another told me a day. My office is Samut Prakan.

Hi, still a bit confused about the second 90 days report. I did my first one in Phuket. I am due to do my second 20th of April. I want to travel a round in Thailand and also do one week in Vietnam. Can I do the report from the closest Immigration office? Think I will be in BKK before I fly home or if I leave for Vietnam for one week, there is no need to report? And when I re-enter for a week or two before leaving, will I be stamped in as visa exempt or a DTV 180 days? If so, will it effect number of days next time I want to come back. Possibly stupid questions but would like to be law abiding even though I still do not fully understand the rules.

Is it true if you leave every 60 days you don’t have to bother with 90 day reporting.

Trying to think ahead … I received a one year ‘extension’ on my 90 day non-o Visa. Used my own funds to open a bank account and deposit the required ฿800,000, (plus an extra ฿65,000). However, I did hire an agent and received my ‘extension’ shortly after opening the account. So the money was not seasoned for two months.

Will that be a problem if I want to switch to the “income method” and make the required deposits for the next year?

I still have over a year before I have to renew the stay permit.

I am currently on a 12 month non-o retirement extension, previously living in Chiang Mai, however I have now relocated and are living in Roi Et (in Thai partner’s house).

What do I need to do when doing a 90 day report here and also what to do when applying for my next extension later this year?

Thanks in advance for any useful feedback

I'm going to the immigration office in Bangkok tomorrow to extend my stay for 30 days. Does anyone know what I should prepare? Are there any forms I can prefill, and what kind of documents should I ask the hotel to prepare for me? Anyone with previous experience, please share, as this is my first time going to the immigration office in Bangkok.

I live in a border area currently under evacuation notice so everything is closed. Can I do my annual renewal anywhere or must it be done in the same province or the same office (closed)?

Any advice welcome
