Greg Alexander ChatGPT? Excuse me whilst I ROFL! Try calling the immigration bureau next time! 😂😂😂

@Graham *****

Correct

@Leeann *********

Yes. I've done it by mail every time for the last eight years. Don't listen to those who say you must do it in person the first time. That's nonsense

@Iliyan **********

Actually you can

If you're still at least 15 days out from due date do it by mail. Absolutely best way to do it in Bangkok. CW is a bloody day's hike!

@Marianne *******

Correct! Rumours are started by the media, but sadly these days there are armies of "content creators" who are nothing more than "rumour creators" who will push the agenda for nothing more than fear-mongering

@Luit ****************

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

@Charles ******

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

I don't know. I'm on non-O retirement visa/extension. Hasn't changed for the ten years I've had it! 👍👍👍✅✅✅
