NEWS on updating TM30 in Chiang Mai -

If you return to Thailand and are living at the same address, you do not need involve your Thai landlord in updating your TM30.

Immigration will simply 'update' /'refresh' your TM30 for you without landlords help.

This was my experience June 2023 and the same for two others with me. You never know when things can change, but just thought to update.

Question does your Thai wife have to be currently resident in Thailand

While Thai wife dual national continues To work and baby are son 😆 who is in UK military

Question for the group.

If you become a Thai citizen what advantages do you get. Are things cheaper for you ? Is medical insurance require? What about auto insurance?

ALERT! CONSULATES PLAYING NASTY GAMES!

Any Experience dealing with any Consulate in the region? we have been told by a couple of them that if I am not a national here I need to have Residence in the area they serve (Cambodia, Thailand...), however they dont tell exactly what that means or how to get it, all they keep saying is to send them photos of our passport, visa and/or any other document to proof residence; to what they say: "it is not what it is needed" and stop replying...

Hello,

I am on a visa exempt entry, admitted on 29 Nov and valid until 12 Jan.

I am applying for a 30 day extension at BKK office (IT Square Laksi Plaza).

Q1. Can I apply as early as next Tuesday, 22 Dec ?

Q2. I have been staying at a condo rented via AirBnB since 1 Aug (90 days on STV, bounced, 45 visa exempt entry, bounce #2, 45 visa exempt entry #2).

The landlord did not file a TM30. Should I then self-file the TM-30 using As guidance the advice given by Tod in his 13 July 2019 post?

I will also print the AirBnB contract and last 2 monthly receipts (or should I get all receipts since August ?) payments and take them with me just in case.

Q3. Given that I have been in Thailand since July 19, in and out, should I also fill in a TM47 or does the 90 days filing rule only applies when you do more than 90 days at a stretch ?

Thank you kindly for any input on the above questions.

I have 2 months Tourist visa and will extend (in Chiangmai)

Do I need a TM30 receipt at the hotel I stayed in for the first few days when I arrived or just the apartment I'm staying in for the majority of the time?

Thanks for your help

Good morning to everyone, I'm right back in Bkk, I have a question : just arrived in Bangkok from Europe in extention of visa, and as I bought a condo I am in my own apartment. DO I need to go to immigration to fill any kind of paper to tell them where I live, or the fact that I wrote it on the papers entering the country would be enough??

Thank you so much for your kind answer.

Hi all,

And good day to everyone. I have a "covid-extension" related question and would be extremely gratefull if some kind soul could give me correct info concerning my situation.

Ok. To start out with, I rent an apartment around the year in Chiang Mai and have been doing so for the past 7 years or so (same address, same room). I visit Finland once or twice a year, every year. But I never ask for a new TM.30 when I return cause I have never needed it for anything. Around 7 years back I was in Thailand with an ED-visa as I was studying at the local university. Did the 90-day reporting and reneved my visa every year. But they never asked for the TM.30 at the Chiang Mai immigration for that...

After my graduation, I have entered Thailand a few times with a TR-visa. And I think I actually needed the TM.30 for applying for the TR- visa back in 2019 in Penang, Malaysia.

The Last time I returned Thailand on 8.12.2021 on a TR-visa again. I was in Finland for mre than one year but still rented my apartment here for the whole time.

I already went and got the one month extension stamp on my visa. Now I´m thinking of going to the local immigration to apply for the covid extension.

I have an old TM.30 receipt from 2019 I think it is... (first picture). I asked the manager downstairs for a new one for the above mentioned purposies. The next day she provided me with this peace of paper (picture 2).

My question is, am I good with these documents as far as tm.30 goes? Or do I need to ask the manager of this serviced appartment where I live, to go to the immigration with her id-card, fill out some forms and give me a brand new TM. 30 receipt?

I may have forgot to mention some important and related info and perhaps I was a bit unclear explaining my situation so please, feel free to ask me any further questions.

Thank you so much :)

Hi there , just curious say you have a marriage visa for some years then say your spouse passes away , are you able to continue with the existing marriage visa and if you are not at the required retirement age yet ... ?

Hi , wonder if you could help with this. If the house owner didn't file a tm30 for me when i took residency of her property , whats the maximum fine I'm possibly going to get ?
