a friend of mine got yelled at by the IO, with an injonction to go back to his country, when he tried to explain that and 2 weeks ago I got send back home and told to come back the following week because I was short of 3 days to make 3 months. May be they don’t understand their own rules and they’re tripping on power but the result is the same ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@Tod ********

not sure if it’s Phuket specific but the « 2 months before, 3 months after » rule seems to apply only the first time you ask for the extension after you got a non-O visa, after that the rule is « 3 months before, 3 months after »

the way to avoid that is to pressure your landlord to file the TM30 as soon as you move in or make sure you ask about it before you sign a lease

In theory the TM30 should be filed by your landlord in the 24h after you check in, they are the ones subjected to a fine if they don’t do it.

@Tod ********

right, it’s just that the whole premise would be not to have to worry about asking your landlord to file a new TM30 while you’re already dealing with the headache of an extension just because you spent the week end in a guest house up country 3 months ago 😅

@Tod ********

I always wondered how that would work with most hotels registering you automatically without telling you 🤔

might not be the case here but the first time you do a 90 report, or if you changed your address, you can’t do it online, you have to go in person

@Darren *****

not entirely, the labour law specifies minimums, I encountered this issue when we had to fire an employee on the spot. The labour office came after us because we should have give them 3 months notice or 3 months severance because they had been working with us more than 3 years. In the end it went nowhere because they were fired with cause but I learned about that.

@Jimmy ******

I believe that depending on how long you have been working in a given place the law says you have 1 to 3 months notice, that’s usually enough time to find a solution

@Rakeb ******

may be just try later as they suggest, you may have receive the email but the account is still not created
