From the news over a longer period it seems like Jomtien immigration is tired of many many foreigners forget to file a TM30 when they return back home from staying in a hotel elsewhere in Thailand. Most hotels will according to rules file a TM30 for your stay, and then your address in the system is wrong when you forget to file TM30 upon return to home. This error is then discovered when you make 90 days reporting.

@Lars *******

It is to confirm your current address as this is the kind of proof we have here in Denmark.

I was also told to come back one day prior expiry, but went back three days earlier and got the extension without any question. Imm. are usually very busy at Jomtien wherefore they only accept to extend in “last moment” but less then 6 days are usually accepted.

Was also a bit concerned about this procedure which seems to be specific for Chon Bury Immigration at Jomtien.

And the do - all the time!

Monthly rental amount is based on minimum 12 months rental. There are often different rates with much higher monthly rental for contracts on monthly and half-year basis. When not fulfilling 12months contract, Owners can rightfully claim that total rental (from day one) must be based on a higher monthly rental that could give an insufficient deposit!

I rented a place on monthly basis for 7 weeks. I could pay weekly fee of 6000 or monthly at . So I naturally paid 2months full.

Always have a copy of your passport most relevant pages with you as required by Thai law - then you are safe with police and check in at hotels without original pass
