You also need to factor in the home visit from Immigration during the under consideration period, you need to be available for that.

That entirely depends on how busy the DLT Office is, you have to make an appointment and sometime that may be weeks away.

correct, on a DTV when you exit the country you have to file a new TM30 on your return which will then be valid for that address for the 6 months of your new stamp.

Anonymous participant 570 You do not need a new TM30 unless you exit Thailand.

@Luit ****************

the “to” date if left blank becomes the date until which you are permitted to stay.

@Luit ****************

TM30 reports have “from and “to” data fields.

One time only TM30 report per address, per permitted to stay stamp.

Update on Relief for TM30 filing requirements

The Royal Thai Police has recently issued the new Regulation which provides some Expats’ relief on the requirement of TM30 reporting, as well as for property owners (i.e., house-master, owners or lessors of a residence) and hotel managers in Thailand. The new Regulation was published in the Government Gazette on 16 June 2020 and it has been effective from 30 June 2020 onwards.

According to the new Regulation, property owners and hotel managers are required to submit TM30 report only for the first time when the foreigner arrives at their premises. It is no longer required to repeatedly submit TM30 reports every time when a foreigner travels out of the country or temporary stays in other premises (i.e., no need to re-report upon returns to stay in the same premises within the check-in period, rental period, or within the period of their re-entry permit).

Prior to this new Regulation, when a foreigner left Thailand or temporarily stayed overnight in another place, a TM30 report needed to be re-submitted every time, within 24 hours as from the foreigner’s return from a trip back to stay in the same premises.

A badly written article on the revision to Section 38 of the 1979 Immigration Act but you get the drift.....

Yes you are required to file a new TM30 every time you enter on a DTV within 24 hrs of arriving at your residence. The reason is under Thai law each time you enter you get a new “permitted to stay until” stamp. People with long term visas entering using a re entry permit do not get a permitted to stay stamp (they already have a year long permitted to stay stamp) and therefore do not need to refile a TM30 when returning to their residence.
