What should I do if I haven't filed my TM30 after moving in with my girlfriend in Thailand?

John *******

I’ll comment about what I like, thanks. The discussion was about TM30. I paid my house owner’s (wife) fine for that at CM immigration. Maybe YOU should try restricting yourself to useful input and not be quite such a mouthy **** 😀

John *******

PGCE means post graduate certificate of education. It is not a ‘2nd degree’. Holding one is pretty much essential to get work teaching in a reputable international school in Thailand. It would be of no use whatsoever in clinical psychology.

Do I need to print out my TM-47 form for the 90-day report in Thailand or can I keep a digital version?

John *******

I agree. This is Thailand, not Japan. Just get it done and get on with life. And yeah sure, use a paper clip. 😆

Can I drive in Thailand with a full UK driving licence?

John *******

is correct. The terminology matters. The document needed with your overseas driving license is an IDP. An international driving permit. Fact is many drivers get by without it, but by law it is supposedly required. They are valid for one year from date of issue.

Is it easy to extend a 30-day Tourist Visa in Thailand for another 30 days?

John *******

I renewed my insurance before getting the extension, as I thought it made no sense for them to not ask for it. They didn’t ask for it.
