Hiya everyone I've been on holiday twice already this year staying with my girlfriend at her home in udon Thani I've booked and paid for a flight back over Christmas 16th dec till 5th of January and didn't realise i would need a visa and now no time to get one I'm from the UK and have a UK passport over the last few years I've been 6 times with no problems any advice or do I cancel and lose my money for the flight

At which point should a TM30 be filed (Pattaya), for a visa exempt tourist that will convert to a retirement visa.

Another post mentioned that Pattaya immigration was not asking for it.

My concern is when the retirement visa application get submitted, there could be a problem or at the very least a fine if their system shows there is no tm30 on file for the CURRENT address; for which I have signed a contract this past Friday.
