I've got a lot of aids on my timeline relating recently, to Thai Visa Change Schools, aka, staying in TH and going to our place 2 hours a day, twice a week, aka, Combat Fighting, and more, staying in TH for years at various prices - I don't mind them at all, read there was a crackdown on Chinese related activities to a few of them, some 120 IO got transferred/fired for awhile,

Have read that you can do the TM 30 business online yourself, to avoid IO visits there and upsetting folks, You can report online, when it works, that is! Most hotels and registered businesses use TM30 online reporting. Online registration is available there. You need to first request a username and password, and then log on to register - never done that procedure, so please don't ask, google time perhaps

I did never bother also, never informed them when back, got a small fined just once

his law was originally designed to increase the amount of monitoring and surveillance that Thai authorities can exercise on foreigners residing in their country, whether they’re on holiday or here on a permanent, residential basis.TM30 Explained! You Must Register Any Non Thai National Living In Your Property! (Updated August 2022)

The system was also designed to be useful to the government in gathering data on tourism.

At the same time, the immigration department saw it as an opportunity to crack down on the number of foreigners who have over-stayed their visas (as well as their welcome) and were working here illegally.

The lack of enforcement meant that virtually nobody except hoteliers knew that the law applied to everyone providing accommodations to foreigners.

This has all changed. Under the new expanded law, this non-enforcement loophole has been closed and anyone who offers accommodations must register their foreign guests with the immigration department.

This one rather new phenomena to TH

my ex just did a runner, never saw her again, so I continued to reside in the house for a considerable number of years after that and happily, had long-distance relatives, by marriage lurking in the background, and took precautions😁 out just fine....... not my ex, but heard of many farang mystery deaths in the neighborhood/province in the past - off topic a little only - 12 Victims Dead from Cyanide Poisoning, serial killer women, the news broke 3 days ago

the hotels usually make a report if you are there need to tell IO that you are back to residence location again

@Paul ******

I heard on the local Thai news, my lines were verified there also by farang woman who was NOT living at her supplied condo address, a big boss a police guy, who said in the interview, they all should be deported, if they refuse to notify address change, read that article also
