So, check in, pass control, security screening and then there is a window somewhere around gates where I can get this permit?

I still don’t get one thing. If I reside in Chiang Mai and live here, registered and hold TM 30, then go for a week to Phuket for example, there a hotel will register me too through their online system with local immigration. How does the immigration in Chiang Mai know that I’m not there? My landlord will not notify as I’m keeping my house here. Does it mean that upon my return I’ll have to come to immigration and tell them that I was away for a week somewhere else and now need a new TM30?

I know 🙂 but I can live in one place and go for long vacation in another.

@Tod ********

so you think immigrations don’t have one online system where they monitor how long a foreigner can have two registrations and if it happens for too long he/she will get problems at the custom later? 🙂

@Tod ********

yeah that’s my question, so at that moment simultaneously I’m having two tm30s?

But if I live in one place and have Tm 30 from there and go for a few weeks of vacation to another place, doesn’t the hotel have to register me there anyway? I just won’t be asking for this Tm 30 form, right?

@T**
