TM30 once I leave quarentine I'll be staying with my fiancé. Previously always had a long term condo and they filed for me.

To self file I presume we will need my entry and passport details + the house book and her Thai ID.

Any other documents we are likely to need.

As the village is more than an hour from Mae Sot Just trying to avoid multiple trips if possible. Many thanks

Yesterday I went to MTT Immigration Office to check status of TM30 application which the owner of rented condo was adamant she had mailed to Immigration early January. Kept telling me to “wait for receipt to come in the mail”.

Given it was some 5 weeks I had my suspicions and worry.

Arrived at MTT about 11.30am, went to get queue ticket, explained my issue. Then I showed her the paperwork I had prepared based on Tod’s “self filing” process. IO just said “oh OK” ( like she was quite familiar with it) and took me through to IO inside at counter. I explained issue and the paperwork I had prepared. I then went to another IO who checked paperwork and explained there is a 800 Baht fine which I expected. Off to another IO where I paid the fine and received my TM30 receipt. In and out in 25 minutes and a smile and helpful attitude from staff.

So Tod’s advice on self filing worked a treat. Thanks Tod.

(Post script - IO found no evidence of submission by owner.)

TM.30 - Chaeng Wattana - self-file by EMS

In July/August it took them 7 weeks to send conformation slip back. But for TM.30 sent on September 22nd I got confirmation slip after... 10 DAYS!!! So apparently they didn't drown under thousands of TM.30s... Or more and more people started using online ways to self-file

Has anyone self filed their tm30 recently in Bangkok? Will attempt tomorrow so hope nothing has changed.

If you are self filing with a Rental/Lease Agreement does it have to be in Thai or will they accept one only written in English?
