There's no expiry date on a TM30. That's why often people get caught out if they've stayed a night or two at a hotel and then return to their home address and not submit a new TM30. Thd previous address stays on the record. A few years ago I stayed in Phuket for three nights. When I went to do my extension six months later in Bangkok, they told me I was registered in Phuket. The only thing which "expires" a TM30, is a new TM30
No I don't renew. A visa cannot be renewed. Each year I get a 12-month extension of stay. There's been no changes to this process in the last ten years
Anonymous participant 558 Sadly, you're nothing but a fearmonger. I'm sure in my time here, the amount of people I know, not one has been fined for a missing 90-day report if they've left and re-entered at a later date. Never happened to me in all the times I failed to submit a TM47. And even if it does happen it's 2000 baht maximum. So perhaps best to stop your cr@p talk, because you know very little about how it works
Anonymous participant 558 I've been here 15 years. I've often ignored the 90-day report if I know I'm leaving the country in the near future. Airport and land border immigration don't give a sh1t about 90-dayer. Once you re-enter you start from scratch. They don't chase up historical discrepancies. I've done it probably ten times. Total fines: 0
Anonymous participant 558 Aren't we talking DTV here? I can't see any reason to go to immigration. And if you do need to go, you wait until you do a re-entry. Immigration won't be looking for a 90-day report, because you won't have been in the country at that point for 90-days. You'll just need a TM30
Anonymous participant 558 Ain't going to happen. I think you're new here, otherwise you wouldn't be making such a misleading statement. What document would you want from immigration?
