As you visited many hotels during that first week and only arrived ‘home’ the day before your immigration visit you should be ok. 😜

I spent a month travelling Phuket, Bkk area before arriving home. No issues as hotels report TM30...or not! I went to IM to do the TM30 and they asked when I arrived in the country. As per TM6 date and travelling around since. No issues.

I had to book a flight out once before being allowed to board. Book online on the day you want to check-in for a suitable flight out (to anywhere) and you’ll usually be able to cancel the ticket within a day or two once inside the country.

The page can be opened in google and is translated to English.

This is very interesting but seriously concerning.

We return to CM via BKK in a couple of weeks. Non o-a extension, with ME, issued last May. No local insurance but have travel insurance issued in UK. It’ll be interesting to see if they only give us 30 days!

I’ll update with results later this month.

It depends on your passport.

If from Cameroon then it appears that you need to have a visa before arrival. However, if transmitting and staying in the airport then I will pass that to someone else for an answer.

If your landlord has actually done the TM30 online then ask him for a screenshot of the entry. Then ask him to search for your name and take another screenshot. This will act as proof that it has been done. There’s no need for you to go to the immigration unless you need a paper version of the TM30 for any reason.

, if heading for CR and staying in a hotel then it’s easy and yes, immigration is usually empty with no one queuing. Took 30 mins to get our ‘retirement’ extension in all. Walked in a straight up to the desk. You should have no issues while there. If not staying in a hotel/hostel then make sure that your address is registered before applying for the extension. Form TM30. CR are quick but efficient and work by the book. Have fun!

maybe cheaper to go to a hotel where they complete a TM30 for you. Then go back to house and complete TM30 within 24 hours. No fine should be charged then.

The pleasure of a TM30 within 24 hours of arrival at an address is afforded to everyone who is not a Thai national. 🙂
