You can only apply in another provence if you first get a new TM30 from the owner of the accommodation you are staying at, in that provence. You cannot apply with a TM30 issued in CM.

My kids use both Thai and UK passports but their names are exactly the same on both passports. Get that sorted and it becomes a non issue.

That said, she will have no issue arriving on a UK passport and get stamped in for 60 days.

... I submitted 4 times from around 2 weeks down to 3 days before due date, this time and last time, rejected every time. I did online reporting many times before no problem then suddenly I started getting rejected so it's not like I'm a first time user.

There's no downside to trying an online application, best case it's approved, worst case it isn't and you just head on over to your local IO and do it in person. I believe there's something wrong with the system as I've been rejected for the last 4 reports even with multiple applications and over 2 weeks in advance, so I'm heading to the drive through in Chiang Mai on Monday.

In theory you are supposed to do it every time but many IO's don't require it if you are going back to the same accommodation. Things can get out of sinc if you stay in a hotel within Thailand and they file a TM30 when you stay there as you are no longer registered at your normal home. So best thing to do is get your home registered and just file a new TM30 every time you return home from anywhere, it only takes a couple of minutes online and you're out nothing by doing it anyway.

... in most cases, GT won't translate hand written words, which is also the case here ... well on my phone it doesn't!

You pay your money and take your chance but if you decide to roll the dice, at least have the 3 proofs in hand and also be prepared to be turned around and sent back on the next flight.

Yes a TM30 should be submitted.

If she's registered and doing it online then just do it again whenever you come back from being away, especially if you booked into a hotel in Thailand because they will register a tm30 in your name.

I mean really, is it worth the discussion if it only takes less than 5mins of your time to do it online. 🤷‍♂️

... that wouldn't have been from the Thai consulate in Hull by any chance? I had a few from there as it was well known they were quite liberal in handing those visas out.
