How can I help my homeowner with the TM30 reporting obligation in Thailand?

Karim ***************

Well she is liable for a fine if she doesn’t get to know it fast. She is supposed to report it within 24 hours of you moving in. Can all be done online by her with a copy of your passport and landing card.

What should I do if I can't provide an embassy letter for my COVID extension in Thailand?

Karim ***************

yea Pattaya is the hardest most awkward immigration centre in all of Thailand. They have backhander deals with the visa agents. I would suggest either have a little holiday to Phuket or use an agent, in the future.
