    @elviajero is usually correct and provides sound advice.

    However, there are several reports of applicants with a VisaExempt, Tourist Visa or Non Imm O Visa applying for an extension of stay at CW that were not required to provide evidence of a TM30 being filed of the place where they are staying.  Obviously, if they stayed in a Hotel, that Hotel would have filed their TM30 (even without the applicant being aware that it was done), but some reports mention that the Immigration officer did not consult the IO TM30 database with all on-line filings and simply processed the application.

    So it seems that CW is one of those IOs that were previously quite stringent on TM30 compliance for applicants, but now do not seem to enforce it anymore.

    = = = = =

    @johnny1966 > Will you be staying at a hotel before applying for your extension at CW?  In that case, the Hotel will file your TM30 on check-in (you can ask them for a print).

    If you are staying at a friends place or your own or rental condo, you can register on the IO TM30 website and file your TM30s yourself.  Just PM me if you want to do this and I will send over a comprehensive step-by-step instruction on how to do it (registering will take somewhere between 5 minutes and 5 working days).

    As mentioned higher several reports indicate that CW does not seem to enforce TM30 compliance anymore, but since registering and filing your TM30s on-line is relatively easy (if you know how to do it), it's better to be safe than sorry should it turn out that they still do require it.

     

    Thank you for your insight Peter. I'll pm you.

    Yes, I am thinking our only option now is to wait until immigration gives us a signal on how to proceed. From the news, they are aware of the situation and have plans to discuss/devise a solution. This is uncharted territory for the world. There is no game plan and everywhere it is step by step into the unknown. We must all cultivate patience and understanding, compassion and good will.

    Well said. Let's hope the solution is friendly.

    so your best bet would be to obtain a 60 day extension in early may which will take you to early july,

    if possible do a fresh border bounce before the visa expires in early june for a fresh 90 day and then another 60 day extension which would take you to early november ( may not be possible due to other countries arrival restrictions.

    the other option you have if possible is to put 400,000 baht in an account in your name and get a yearly extension, alternatively 40,000 baht per month transferred from abroad, for the yearly extension

    good luck

    Just on the 60 day extension for non o Multi, I have one blank page left in pp. Is it enough space for them to put the extension stamp etc?

    Someone should submit a TM.30 address report every time you re-enter the country. The immigration office will almost certainly (but local rules might apply) want one before issuing the extension. You could wait and submit it with the extension, but risk being fined for a late report.

     

    Submitting the TM.30 now would be the best option and date the arrival at the address no more than a couple of days before the report date.

    So i will be asked to submit the tm30 before any extension is granted is this correct? Ill be going to CW.

    If you’re the spouse of parent of a Thai you can get a 60 day extension without financials.

    Thanks for the info. A question; I had a retirement extension 1.5 years ago obtained through a visa agent. The address registered was an upcountry address, not my Bangkok address which I have been at since changing to the non imm o multi. I haven't notified imm of my change of address. Do I need to do this and if so can i do it when applying for the 60 day extension? 

    30 day extension non o visa

    3 monthly border bounce due 14th April, looks like that will be difficult. My visa expires in June 2020. Can I go to immigration with the wife and get a 30 day extension? What exactly is required? Currently I rent a condo in Bangkok and she takes care if her mother in Udon Thani. P.S I have only 1 blank page remaining in my Aussie passport.

    I have not seen any reports of problems at land border crossings related to corvid 19. 

    Ban Laem is a better crossing than Poi Pet.

    From Bangkok the Ban Phu Nam Ron crossing to Myanmar in Kanchanaburi is a good crossing and is the nearest to Bangkok. No need tor a full page visa sticker to enter Myanmar. Just a couple of stamps after paying 500 baht for a border pass.

    Thanks Joe. I have one full page left in my passport. Non imm o multi. Need to do visa run soon. So just to clarify, I do not get a Myanmar sticker or visa stuck into my pp at the above crossing, only entry/exit stamps so 1 page should suffice to include this plus Thailand stamps?
