We've had a number of cases recently where staff have been asked to show their work permit by Immigration Officers at the airport.

Yes. Though they need to buy a 3-day pass.

Do it by post (if you can)

Update: I got back both my TM28 receipt and 90 day receipt in the post. All good.

And unless there have been reports to the contrary, no TM30 reporting is required by individuals in Bangkok.

Good to hear. I guess it's one of those "Thai things" that individual offices tend to do things their own way.

I understand. Just going on what my employer's HR was told my Immigration at Chaengwattana when we queried whether we needed to renew his Extension. Maybe they just wanted the 1,900 baht!

I guess you're not extending at the main Immigration office in Bangkok, as they have extended my 3 year old's Extension twice now. Or maybe extending a visa is different. Either way, it was recommended to me that I should keep his immigration status legal, even though there is no fine or ban, as he would still get stamped as overstaying in his passport.

Having kids with you can sometimes result in quicker service!
