Fair play. I was fairly sure that coming from abroad needs a new TM30. But then I don't live in CM and am basing this on Jomtien....so many offices are different. I know if you want an extension of a visa you need a new one there (Jomtien)..

He has been put of the country. He needs a new TM30 I would think.

It is unlikely you will be asked, but if they do, you should have 20k baht or equivalent in cash.

Yes but she called the authorities and pretty much invited them into her home to check on her immigration status.......LOL :) In general if not extending, there is no need to do the TM30.

What visa do you have...? If just on a tourist or VE, then there is pretty much no reason unless you will be extending later.

Very few people...??? Everyone tips them

'Tips' make the world go round....

I would happily live with my conscience if it means not going to immigration every time I go and visit another province. Why do more than you need to. I am not sure about Phuket, but it is not enforced in most other places. Also you really only need to register the TM 30 if you will be going into an office for an extension or other reason. Otherwise if not visiting an office, there will be no fines or consequences.

It is only when you go out of the country.

555 You are right there Robert :) I have checked my stamp at the airport and it has been wrong a number of times and had it corrected.
