Sorry to hear this. People who hide behind their devices to bully or harm others are truly pathetic.

Good question. The rules can be less clear-cut compared to land-based accommodations. Generally, if you are the property owner (or in this case, the boat owner), you’re responsible for filing your own TM30 when you arrive in Thailand to stay on the boat.

To ensure compliance, it might be best to check with the Thai Immigration Bureau or a local immigration office in Thailand, as regulations can sometimes vary by region.

@Henrik ****

much easier !

If you are staying in a hotel in Thailand, the hotel is responsible for submitting the TM30 form on your behalf, as they are required to report foreign guests’ stays to immigration. However, if you’re staying in a private apartment, condo, or house, the landlord or property owner is required to file the TM30 to notify immigration of your stay.

In either case, the TM30 is necessary, but the responsibility for filing it differs depending on the type of accommodation. It’s a good idea to check with your accommodation provider to ensure the TM30 is properly submitted.

forgive me. Enjoy your trip.

@Kate ******

that’s great. I actually meant they may not help in real time in a visa forum. I’m disappointed this happened to you. In 12 years of living in BKK, this has never happened to me. Not a good impression for you. Enjoy the rest of your trip.

Posting here won’t help much; happy you finally made it.

@Nongnuch *******

exactly, free of charge so I was confused to what the OP was asking.

Do you mean the ETA? The government announced on September 23 that the December launch date would be delayed. I am not sure which passport you have, but it is intended for those who hold one of the 93 countries granted visa-free entry.
