Alan *******

"Why?"...Seem to have got along without it for the past 2 years. If you reside here it's just more duplication, TM8 when you leave, TM6 on return, not forgetting TM30 within 24hrs. Only upside is 90 day clock is reset.

@Melissa ************

I agree with you, it does say "3 Days Before Arrival" and I don't understand some of the replies here. If it's as good as the 90 day reporting site..........

Is it necessary to file a TM 30 if I return to the same address in Pattaya after visiting Bangkok for 3 days?

Alan *******

I live in Bangkok I have traveled all over Thailand, staying in Hotels. I have never filed a new TM30 on returning home, and have never had any issues with 90 day reports or renwel of extensions. The ONLY time I did a new TM30 was on my return from Vietnam.
