Wrong
My agent does it - sends to me on Line
I keep my passport at home, except for once a year when it travels to Immi
Ah OK, I used an agent for the first time, and last, 5 years ago and they wanted my passport every 90 days to do the reporting, last couple of times I had to drive past immigration to get to the agent, as I'd moved area.

It costs less than a bowl of noodles a day - that is the money saved
And no 90 day reports
You do have to do 90 day reports, either by sending your passport to an agent, or, as I do, online.

It used to be a 10 minute wait, & free.
Correct, I remember the first one I got, she gave me the certificate and then asked for 500 Baht, I said thank you and walked off without paying telling her it's free. A couple of years later they asked for the 500 Baht before they would process it!! That's when I decided to get a "Yellow book".

Regina Coeli is a Roman Catholic all girls school.
The British Council has a department there.
They are taught Thai, English and a choice of Chinese or French.
The fees are around 50,000 baht a year.

All of the major face coverings in those images are made TO PROTECT people from continued exposure to clouds or entire environments full of listed material.
The masks we wear for corona are to limit the spread of the virus, not to protect us from it.
I’ll never understand how people can’t understand basic concepts like this.
And I don't understand how gullible people are!

My no-brand monitor has exactly the same features, cost under 300bht and has worked perfectly for 4 years.
Gives me the same readings as the hospital machine.
Thanks for that. I've just ordered one.

Thanks pgthompson. Your situation is a little diff than mine but as Britman initially posted, he didn't have a TM30 and didn't get fined. I guess it it's just a question of 1600 baht fine, not a huge deal. But I still think I must get the ID of the landlady and the house book for this rental house. My wife feels the landlady was not so keen when we asked for that. I did just register online to do a TM30 but again, with some missing info. We'll see how that goes. I appreciate you taking the time to explain things. Cheers again!
The fine is for the landlord to pay, not you. They should have done a TM30 within 24 hours of you arriving.

Thanks so much. Hmm, so no TM30, yes? House book...this is the house where you live or is it your wife's house book just confirming her ID? And no contract showing where you live? Questions about the landlord's/landlady's ID was never part of the equation? I assume the income the owner of my house makes from the rent is not recorded and they don't want any governmental agencies sniffing around. Maybe it doesn't matter in Thailand and I'm off on the wrong track but politicians in the US have gone down just for paying a cleaning lady under the table.
I'm missing some documents pertaining to my rental house....expired contract (though we've been here 5 years) and so far, no landlady ID nor housebook and no TM30. Thus my Spanish Inquisition of your journey.
Cheers!
Hi mate,
They didn't ask me about the TM30, but I do that online so I presume it's in the system, a friend of mine did his 60 day extension last month and was fined 1600 baht because he'd never done one in the past 15 years, he also had to go to the Amphur for his Kor2, same immigration office but different officers, so it could be a luck of the draw!
We have a mortgage so The wife has the Black book with her name and daughter in it, I have a Yellow book with just my name in it.

@pgthompson > Just read in your post re 60-day extension of stay application that you provided
>>> Copy of daughter's birth certificate
In case you are not aware - when applying for the 1-year extension of stay for reason of having Thai dependant child(ren), there is NO need to season the 400K funds-in-bank for two months. You would only need to show that the funds are on your Thai bank-account at the moment of application.
And you would need to keep them there for 3-4 weeks during the 'under consideration period', but once you get the 1-year permission to stay stamp in your passport, you are free to use the funds as you please.
When considering to apply for reason of Thai dependent child(ren), do check whether there are any other requirements that need to be met when applying for that reason (e.g. school certificate). There have also been some reports of applicants that did not need to season the 400K for two months even when applying for reason of marriage, when they had Thai dependent children. But in that case it is recommended to enquire beforehand at your IO about their policy for such application.
I did ask about that over a week ago and the immigration officer told me because my Visa from HCMC had a hand written note over it saying it was issued for marriage to (wifes name) I couldn't do that.
I transferred the funds a couple of weeks ago, at 41.65 baht, still a massive loss to what I used to get when I first came to Thailand but needs must.
Many thanks for yours and Ubonjoe input on many visa questions, I'm sure I speak for a hell of a lot of people of the value of both your answers.

Just a heads up, went to CM immigration Thursday for 60 day extension, Non O based on marriage dated to December but as I couldn't leave the Country, expired June.Set of documents, there was an earlier report that they wanted 2 but I only submitted 1 as the person at Information said that's all I needed, he also stated that a Kor 2 was also needed, this was last week.Turned up at 10am, was met by a polite lady at information, she checked my paperwork and then gave me a ticket.Was called at 10.45 to another pleasant immigration officer and got stamped until 26th November, she gave me back the Kor2 stating it wasn't needed but to hold on to it and do a copy as I'll need it for the yearly extension in November, I asked her if it would still be valid as it's dated 16th September, she said no problem.-

Hi Ubonjoe,
These links don't seem to work, is it because of the update?
Could anybody direct me to the latest Non o multi entry visa form for Thailand from Savannakhet and application form for visa to Laos.
Many thanks.

Does anyone know what the Consulate holidays are in July, I'm aware that my daughter is off school from 18/19 and 20th and wondered if the Consulate will be open or closed on those dates.
I've looked at the Consulate's web page but just showing last years holidays!
I presume it's no problem crossing into Laos when there are holidays?

Stuffing things in suitcases suggest you intend to bring it with you on your flight from the US . Unless you are very short of money why not get international removals to ship a crate of stuff for you .
I sent a crate of useful belongings , clothes etc. from Italy before coming , later another containing books from England . You may have to pay a little tax on arrival , I paid Bt2000 , then the transport to your home .
You were lucky. Moving here with my thai wife they charged us 45K THB there were two crates of supposedly exempt household stuff...beware.
I shipped 4 large boxes, 30 Kg each, from UK on a METV for £320 and after asking on this forum, I expected to pay 15-20K Baht for import tax.
I received them 2 weeks ago, 5 weeks after shipping them, the shipping company did ring me to say they would deliver them at my condo on Wednesday did not turn up, the day after they were delivered while I was in Bangkok even though the terms and conditions were that I was at my address to take the delivery otherwise it would be another £50.
The boxes were opened and then sealed again at the port but not a Baht was asked for.
Perhaps it's the luck of the draw!

It is very straightforward to get a multiple entry non 'O' from Savannakhet, Laos.
- Original marriage certificate plus signed copy.
- Signed copies of wife's ID and Tabien Baan.
- Signed copies of your passport pages: ID page.
- 2 x photos.
- Application form Savannakhet .pdf
- 5,000 baht.
Also, in case you're not aware, you can extend any of your METV entries by 60 days (1,900 baht) at your local immigration office on the basis of visiting your wife.
My visa expires on 5th July, if I go to Mae Sai on the 4th I'll then get another 60 days?
That will then take me up to beginning of September and then I'll be able to extend by 60 days at immigration?
The reason I ask is that my daughter will be in School till the holidays in October and I don't particularly want to take her out of school.
If the above is correct then we may go to Hong Kong for a holiday, do the Hong Kong Embassy/Consulate issue a Multi Entry Non O Visa?
Many thanks for all the replies so far.

Sheep following the sheep, you do realize that a vaccine takes between 5 to 15 years to be developed with safe results, otherwise it's just an extended trial.
