Immigration officials at BKK International Airport and the Immigration officials at land crossings have little in common. Both are Thai and wear same uniform but similarity ends there. Airport IOs scrutinise all the stamps and ask questions challenging the foreigner whereas the IOs at the land crossing don't bother and ask no questions at all. Why is that？ clearly its a POLICY DIFFERENCE makes Thai Immigration look like two different organisations.

60 days visa exemption on arrival FREE....border bounce for another 60 days to Cambodia...all-inclusive 3300baht...repeat every two months. Send them 120k to me lol

understood. It makes sense. They can see if it's electronically filed. Still jomtien are emphatic on the three items and landlord was unsurprised!

@Brandon ***********

your theory would make sense if the list mentioned TM30 then in absence of TM30 the three items. But remember TM30 is mandatory not optional ! If the mandatory TM30 was sufficient it would have a prominent place on the list with TM7....explain why it does not?

@Brandon ***********

she was clear. TM30 in my hand would not suffice. I gave the list to my landlord and two days later I received the three documents. Landlord did not say "TM30 is enough " he was clearly aware of these separate requirements and provided them. TM30 is NOT enough

@Jan *****************

the list is issued with form TM7...they're not flexible on it. Must be complied with. Landlord or hotel owner to provide. It is not the TM30...the official shrugged and marked the list with ballpoint pen as you see in picture. Get the last three items before you go there.

@Jan *****************

how you can doubt or challenge this amazes me. I waited at Information desk 100 minutes last week. I only give accurate information. By confusing it with landlord's TM30 you cause doubt and uncertainty. You should shut up until you make proper inquiries.

@Jan *****************

tourist don't register the TM30. Hotel or landlord creates TM30 by law and they're penalized for delay or failure. The list on the picture is IMMIGRATION office list given to me with Extension application form TM27. It's exactly what they'll ask for when you seek 30 days extension. Avoid lunch period 11.30am til 1.00pm

That's the list Immigration require with visa extension. Try to get them or change accommodation

@Brian *******

not in Pattaya it's not. Messed up system at Immigration office. Closed for long lunch all staff laughing and joking. Not interested on service to customers...its a“fxck you” attitude. Chaotic queueing system ...recipe for argument confrontation and violence because of queue jumpers during 90 minutes of waiting. No application forms available even though it's obvious everyone needs one. Nope gotta join chaotic queue to get the form to then discover the list of required documents. A wasted day i won't repeat. 1900 for 30 days. Border bounce to Cambodia is 3300 for 60 days. I'll skip jomtien Immigration from now on.
