Why does my landlord charge for the TM30 when it should be free?

James ********

Anonymous participant 730 frankly if the renter is traveling often and making MANY ENTRIES into Thailand during the rental period, I don't think it's wrong for the landlord to charge a nominal fee for filing the TM30 each time.

Can I leave Thailand on August 1st if my 90-day report says to report by July 30th?

James ********

If you are still in Thailand when the 90 day report is due...you still are obligated to do the 90 day report.

Failure to file is a fine of 2,000 Thai baht. Collected by Thai Immigration office when you next need their assistance.

ASK her airline what they may require when she flies to Thailand with a return ticket departing 9 months after arrival.

She should not have a problem entering Thailand proof of her relationship with you, your address, phone number and your passport showing main page, your phone number and your current extension of stay.
