when staying in hotels, is it my responsibility to have copies of TM 30 on me and ask the hotel manager to sign it each time I check in? Some places dont even ask for everyone's passport. Also, has anyone had experience getting TR Visa exemption stamp extended in Ayuttaya before? Do you recommend just going to BKK for it? Thanks so much! (edit: typo)

Update: Lesson learned- if no hotel in the city of the visa office submitted your TM30 by the time you want an extension, you will not be allowed to submit TM7 to extend your visa (at least the TR/TR exempt) for 30 days - at least in Ayutthaya. The staff also said we would also save time if we had at least a copy of TM30 (we should have asked for it from hotels when they submit it)

Does Ayutthaya office enforce TM30?

Hello what is the earliest I can extend my 60 day tourist visa before it expires. Also I refusal in my passport for tourist visa, would that be a problem at immigration when I want to extend.

I've just realised Ayuthuya has an immigration office. Can I extend my visa exemption there? Website isn't working!

thanks to great information here my 2nd trip this year to deliver a

TM 30 to Immigration at Ayutthaya went really well and easy. Thanks guys.

Gotta say pleasant and efficient to deal with.

Nothin’ better than friendly people.

EDIT: Helpful tip maybe.

I now keep several photocopies of TM30 the associated page stating how many living at residence and the data page of my passport.

Very helpful to the landlord which makes things a lot easier.

Arriving Thailand next week and this will be the first time I’ve ever attempted, I think TM30 it’s called ? Stayed in hotels before and at my girlfriends place but never seen anything about TM30 until I joined this site.

Not really publicised anywhere for 30 day visa/entry on arrival.

Now my question is while staying at my girlfriends place (don’t think there is a lease)

1. Do I get the signed copy of the Blue Book and ID card or from her landlord ?

2. Has anyone had experience with the immigration office in Ayutthaya ? Can give me some tips ?

I will of course get signed copies of her ID as well.

I have never had to do this before but with the crackdowns etc I’m a little concerned. Last trip the officer at arrival just asked where I was staying and I told him her place he only asked what’s her name. Didn’t appear to write it down just asked smiled and stamped me in.
