Chaengwattana doesn't require you to show a TM30 receipt.

I have a Lao wife too, and our son is only British. His school prefer the kids to have visas/Extensions and he's always piggy-backed on my work extension, as does my wife. I don't think it's a great idea for kids to have overstay stamps, even if they are not fined, especially if they'll be living/studying in Thailand for a long time.

Chaengwattana generally don't enforce TM30 reporting and anyway it's your hotel's responsibility.

Ok. My comment was pointing out she is qualified to get a non-B visa which another poster had suggested she wasn't.

I know many people who just report once year. The 2,000 baht fine can be cheaper than taxis!

Yes, that's a worry. My wife can't remember if they even give the old passport back, but I think they must do.

Thanks. Yes, you get an Embassy letter if you renew a UK passport in Thailand but if you do it in the U.K. you don't. She won't get a letter in Laos, but hopefully that won't be an issue.

When I moved to a new condo, I didn't send off the TM28 form to Immigration until about 3 months after I had moved in. There was no issue; they just returned the slip.

I once got them for my wife and kid, who were back home and at school, by begging them! They didn't want to do it, but my grovelling was impressive.
