Hello, I have a question regarding my visa situation🙏🏼

Year 2021 I had a 12 month business visa. I quit my job and left the country

Came back 2 months ago on a visa exemption and when it was time to make the 30 day extension, immigration office rejected it because I didn’t “cancel” my business visa properly

They say I need an official letter from my previous employer with a stamp, then go to immigration and get a cancellation stamp..

Now the problem is that this company have been ignoring my messages & calls from last year..

I tried to reach out multiple times but it’s a dead end. I can’t get this official letter…

Is there any workaround / solution to this?

Thank you, all help is appreciated

Anyone familiar with the policies on e-cigarettes in Phuket? Im seeing conflicting info on it

Writing for a friend .....

Hey fellow Thailand residents, I have a ‘hypothetical’ question. Have any of you failed to do a 90 day report? And if so, what happened later? Fines? Etc.

I have a feeling I might have royally screwed up. I thought that when I renewed my retirement visa back in December it reset the 90 days back to zero. But apparently it did not. I’ve now been here over six months! Yikes! 😬

Just a heads up before Robert Lagus deletes this. If your reporting office is Chumphon, and by law you are now requiring you to report on arrival back home. they didn't care before. If you stay in a hotel down the street on the beach and check in and out you still need to inform immigration you returned to your house. I got burnt for 2000 baht today for my last trip to Bangkok last week.

Hello, I have questions about reporting to Thai immigration for update of TM-30 upon re-entry.

Thanks in advance for reading & for any advice.

I'm on a Multiple-Entry Tourist Visa and plan to do a border run this weekend, Chiang Khong/Houayxay. Last time I left the country I was fined 1600 B for not reporting to immigration/updating my TM-30 within 24 hours of reentry--I was 2 weeks late, had no idea about the requirement.

My questions are:

1) Does the fine go up by the day--is it 200 baht/day after the first 24 hours, as I seem to remember reading somewhere?

2) Can I report in Chiang Rai, even though my address is in Chiang Mai?

3) If I report in Chiang Rai, are their reporting hours the same as the CM Immigration TM-30 office (8:30-4:30, every day)? How are the lineups at the Chiang Rai office on a Sunday, if it's open on Sunday?

Hey all,

My Thai driving license requires renewal on the 17th of November. I'm using a Non-O ME visa, my current stamp is valid until the 24th of November.

I forgot to check-in with my local immigration re: tm30.

Two questions:

1) The fine for not checking in within 24 hours is 1600 baht?

2) Can I take an early trip to Vietnam and complete the tm30 when I'm back (without the fine)?

Thanks

Matt

I come Thailand 22 Feb with 2 month tourist visa.

I want to take 1 more month for now and I went at Siratcha immigration at 19 April. I ended PAY FINE 800 bath for not show where I lived before.

The story is, that I was informed from my friends when i came, but I stay in my girlfriend name rent contract and 2 times we tell him go police but he not do. More I must say that he lie to us. He told us he gone but he did not.

So how ended the story?

The day I must take the visa I understand they will not give to me. And I drive 80 kilo, (go, come back and go, come back again) for find him in banglamung hospital for give me the paper and authorise my girlfriend do for him and of course him not pay the fine. But about 3 o clock I finish.

So I have some questions....

2) How someone can do with out contract in his name?

When I go police before (for check if I am ok) with contract in my girlfriend name they tell me that the owner must apply the form with my name.(As I told before i told him again and he say yes but he not do)

So how we do as tourist ?

The time I mention that i go, I had a contract and an other form with my name as a guest (but not an authorization from him) Not up to me that the owner not go. Why I pay the fine?

You have any ideas?

2)After I told to police that next month I go Cambodia for 1 month more and after I will go again immigration for 1 month extension. How I will do for not have the same problem.

They answer me that after come back from Cambodia and in 24 hours only, I must show again my address.

2) I do his job? Next time i go again with the paper prove where i stay and an authorization from him that i do alone. For that police tell me 24 hours?

And if this I do for him, what a tourist must do?

If he done before as an owner what a tourist must do? And how long we have time for show up to police for this address check?

And they give us the small paper for immigration? Same they give me now and go with it to immigration?

3) I know from my friends that price for fine in pattaya is 1600 bath.

Is up to them?

4)Also one friend stay in Bangkok per month, (but hotel make the form). Him not go before for the paper but in immigration give him visa. So he no need go to police for the small paper.

And no fine.

And generally...

5) How a tourist will learn about that new low if Thai authorities not inform?

6) Is this only for us that we want extension?

Because all other tourist not need go immigration. When finish the month or the days they have holiday they are free leave the country.

Or in the airport take them to jail with no court.

Sorry about my joke but I an angry with this. And plus because I can not understand for after what I do.

Thanks and....

Sorry for my English and sorry for the long letter...

Hello all,

Can a Lao national work in Thailand without any special visa/work permit?

I know so many Lao working here with just a regular visa or 30 days exemption.

What would happen if someone reported them to immigration?

Just wondering..

Thank you!

does having an overstay affect the next time you want to enter thailand?
