sorry, I wasn’t more clear in my original reply.

Bangkok offices weren’t always this strict with the TM30. These days, they want to see that you’ve submitted after every time you’ve left the country and returned. It’s a PITA to be honest. 🍻

Do I need to ask for a new TM30 after returning to Thailand?

Randy ********

@Tore ********

Every single time you leave the country and return, you need to resubmit the TM30. This is with the Bangkok offices. It doesn’t matter if your rental contact is for 1, 5 or 10 years. You leave the country, you resubmit the TM30.

Bangkok will ask for the TM30. I’ve been to both offices in Bangkok a lot over the past two + years and they have been asking for it. I was actually charged 800฿ for not filing it.

What documents are needed for obtaining a 60-day visa extension in Thailand for foreigners married to Thai citizens?

Randy ********

@Steve ********

I showed them my appointment. They didn’t care tbh. I was first in line anyway so it really didn’t make a difference.

If I would have showed up when they first opened, I would have been standing in the lineup well past my appointment time.

I wasn’t called into anywhere. I was the first person at the check documents desk when they opened at 8:30am. I made the appointment knowing I was going to be there well ahead of time. All I wanted to do was to find out if I had the wait in that queue when I had an appointment.

@Willem ***

yes, you are correct. Different set of paper work would be needed if you’re doing the extension based on a half Thai child.

@Tod ********

being first in line is what got me in and out so fast. Like I mentioned to you, they didn’t care about my appointment in the slightest. I’ll take your advice about making the appointment at a different time in the future. Thanks again for your input, it’s always appreciated.

Do I need a visa for a three-week visit to Thailand?

Randy ********

@Gary *****

yes, I’m aware of the ETA that’s supposedly starting in December. I would assume anyone traveling would do their due diligence, to find out what’s required of them to enter the country.

I see you’re a Canadian. You don’t need a visa. You’ll get stamped in for 60 days on a visa exempt stamp.
