We will fly in about 3pm on 29th of October. Next day, October 30th, I will go with my wife to our City Council (Samut Phrakhan, Bangkok) 10am, it is under 24 hours after landing, to get my Yellow Book and Thai ID. Do I still have to do TM30? My attorney said the Yellow Book is waiting on me, all the formalities sorted out.

I will come in on my 1 year extension (not activated yet, valid for 1 year from September 26. 2025 for a year).

My TM30 was filled (I have a paper docket in my passport, may be that famous TM30, says "Keep it in your passport, next report 5. October 2025". I left Thai July 24 2025. It was by an agency. That address, if it is the TM30, I don't even know where it is.

Once I have my Yellow Book, Immigration certificate of residence, I would have to change that, if not before, then upon my next 1 years extension.

Am I chained to the agency?

It says "Import Excel" and that sits in "Processing" for hours.

There was no "Export Excel".

Will try again when I have exact dates, on the day of flight into Thai . Have to do it at home and print, no printer in Thai home yet.

How on Earth would my wife know to do that? 7 days of entering Thai (we travel together), it has to be within 24 hours.

I did that, July 3 2025, online, TM30, few hours after landing in Thai, it showed as "accepted" a few minutes after I submitted it. But I could not print it, it was showing (even now, 7 weeks later) as "Processing". I left Thai July 24.

Can I get that form, in paper, when I land to Thai next time, from the Immigration counters and take it to where ever it has to be taken to?

I am the property owner (a condo). I can only get the Yellow book (as a foreigner), all things with te City Council sorted out, the Yellow Book is waiting on me (we go to Thai October 28 2025). My Thai wife (she and our daughter have the Blue Book), has to be with me in the Samut Prakhan City Council to sign me in.

Your "First" is dead right.

Your "Second", how would the Yellow Book on my condo, Thai driving license, Thai foreigner "Pink ID Card" help? Non O visa, until July 26. 2026.
