Hi, wonderful advice givers! Another question, not sure if this is for this group or not.....when I arrive, on my non-immigrant O visa, I know I have to quickly open a bank account for the required 60 days 'sitting' period before I get the extension. To do that, I need a thai phone number and address, correct? I plan on renting an air b&B for a month while I look for a more permanent place. Will the air B&B landlord do a TM30 for me for just a one month stay in order for me to open the bank account? The alternative is to get a hotel for a week and just dive in and rent a place for 6-12 months immediately. Any sage wisdom would be appreciated! THANK YOU!

I have a question about the reporting of the TM30. Been searching info about this in other post but i cant find something similar to my situation.

I will be coming into Thailand for the first time since i acquired my DTV visa last early this month but it will only be for 2 days. But will be back again in a month's time.

I will be staying at an Airbnb for the 2 nights and wondering how would the TM30 reporting work in this case?

Any help or advice is appreciated

Hello everyone, so if I’m renting my villa out in Thailand on Airbnb short term rentals, of course this is no problem while on a dtv right ? As long as I’m not working in the home cleaning, welcoming guests into the property ect?

Hi all.

I'm looking to extend my stay, I entered visa exempt, currently in bangkok.

I've read I can do it at IT Square Laksi, can someone confirm, no one is picking up when I call immigration.

Do I need TM30 filed? I'm staying in Airbnb and landlord refused to fill it out.

Has anyone extended recently? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello,

I came through Phuket Sandbox with 45 days exempt and stay in Chiang Mai in an Airbnb atm. I want to do the 30 day extension now but from what I read the Immigration Office needs you to have a TM30. I don't know if my Airbnb host filed that TM30, and I sent her messages several times, but she's not answering for over a week so I assume she didn't, but I don't know...like Schrödingers TM30 lol.

I stayed in a Phuket Sha+ Hotel so I guess there was a TM30. Then I stayed one night in a hotel in Chiangmai before going to the Airbnb which is booked for 3 months. So the Chiang Mai Immigration should have the TM30 from the one night hotel I guess?

What would happen if I just go to Immigration for the extension and write in my Airbnb Adress? If it's not filed for this adress will I get a fine? If I just pay the fine will i still get the extension?

My other option would be to check in a hotel for a few days to do the extension and then hope the airbnb situation clears up next month because my stamp now is until November 3.

Thank you for your help :)

Question on TM30: What if the Airbnb I booked did not file for TM30 after I have arrived? Can I still apply for a 30-day visa extension?

Hello Good afternoon.

My friend is on visa exemption 45 days.

Is it possible to extend the visa for 30 days in immigration? What are the documents required? And he is staying in Airbnb so how to get the TM30?

Thanks in advance.

Hello, my wife and I came on a 60 day tourist visa. We extended for one month, but now we need the covid extension because we are waiting on a US embassy visa appointment (Friday) and our flight (August 8).

I went to check at immigration today and they said we need a T-30 form for where we are staying. However, our Air B&B host said they "don't usually do that for a short term stay".

I think they are still required to? Does anybody know more or have any suggestions? Like, what if we were staying at a hotel?
