The only time anyone verified I had was at the checkin at the departure airport. No one arrival, and no places seems to expect you to use them.

Coming from taiwan? I came from there... Let me know if you any questions...

My best advice... Take starlux instead of Thai air .

Regarding the T8, best to fill out before. You can download online.

I am not sure we are talking about the TM30. I found this online.

There are 4 ways to file a TM.30 form:

Your landlord does it for you (either in person or online).

You do it on behalf of your landlord. This requires a copy of the landlord’s Thai ID, copy of the house book listing for where you stay, and power of attorney form from your landlord stating you are allowed to file the TM.30 for them (and two 5 baht tax stamps) along with the copies of your lease and your passport.

You can do it for yourself. This requires nothing from your landlord. It only requires copies of your lease (the lease has to be in your name) and passport pages along with a filled out TM.30 form.

It can be done by mail. This can take up to 4 weeks to get the receipt back.

thats for the STV, I was asking for the filing the TM30.

@Shane *********

If you are registering it for yourself you just you passport and lease agreement? Not copy of deed and landlord ID?

Sorry I am new to this too.

I am curious, what does this mean for business like hotels with TM30 not available online for so long?

You do not need STV. Visa exempt and tourist visa are available. I assume Canada would probably have 30 day visa exempt (currently 45 days plus 30 extension).

You still need COE and meet all the requirements for entry.

I entered with a doctors note on letter head, signed and stamped. Had a little bit more detail than yours, no one gave me any issues.

It does need the date on it though.. Since it has to be within 72hrs. I don't see that in the picture.

@Calimero ****

yeah... There been some people in the groups have a hard time getting it extended and at least one that could not. It is also so inflexible in terms.
