Thanks a lot

@Benjamin *****

Thank you very much for explaining

@Ellie ******

I still don't get very clearly what is the difference between TM30 and TM28. I thought TM28 had been scrapped in 2020. So, you still have to file TM30 and TM28? when and for what? Many thanks

@Benjamin *****

I am not arguing. I am just trying to understand. It might be very clear to you because you are an expert in these matters. I can tell you it's still very confusing for many people. And these rules are definitely not funny

@Benjamin *****

What you say is clear. But this Immigration rule is confusing. From a practical point of view, TM28 or TM30 , the result is the same

@Bobby *******

ok I thought so. Thanks anyway. For me TM28 has actually been cancelled last year but as a matter of fact, nothing has changed. It's like TM28 is now included in TM30. You go to Phuket. You spend 5 days in a hotel there. When you come back oi your home address, the same address you've had for years, you still have to file a TM30 either with the landlord or by yourself. But you still have to go to Immigration and say I am back at my condo, the same condo where i lived before going to Phuket, in Bangkok.

TM28 TM30 same same but not different

@Benjamin *****

yes I understand all what you say. But this rule is very confusing because what they ask you to do now (TM30) is exactly what you had to do last year ( TM28 ). Maybe TM 28 is scrapped for good but the result is the same when you travel and come back to the same home address. TM30 is just another name for the same thing. Isn'it?

@Bobby *******

How did the IO know about his trip to Phuket and spending 5 nights there? It is very confusing because this case was relevant to TM28 as far as I know, until they scrapped TM28 last year. Theoretically .no more TM28.

I understood that you need to do TM30 only when you move to a new location, example you rent a new condo, and you will have a new address. So they re-instate TM28 or what?
