webfact Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Convenient way to report foreigners staying in your property, say immigration Ubon Ratchathani Immigration posted what they said was a convenient way for home owners and other property owners to report the presence of a foreigner staying within 24 hours. This could be done via mobile phone Android and IOS. People were advised to search for "Section 38" which refers to the part of the Immigration Act of 1979 that pertains to this issue. Their post featured a screenshot of a mobile app. The description for the app on the Google Play Store reads: "Application provider of Immigration Bureau - According to section 38 of the 1979 immigration act, "House owners, heads of household, landlords or managers of hotels who accommodate foreign nationals on a temporary basis who stay in the kingdom legally, must notify the local immigration authorities within 24 hours from the time of arrival of the foreign national via Mobile Application" Source: Immigration Ubon -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2019-05-31 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking Thailand news and visa info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_smith237 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 IF this works, great. However, some ThaiVisa posters have reported that the online Webpage for TM30 has some problems. In my experience these online government Apps never work, the 'DLT checkIn' App to report cheating taxi's etc has never worked !!... So.. It will be very interesting to see if this works throughout the country and if so its an excellent step forwards, but I'll not hold my breath just yet.

pattjock Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I have done this for years using a browser on my PC. This has been for reporting myself living in my own condo. I downloaded the app and logged in using my old login name and password and everything seems to work fine, well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The law sounds easy.... the application of it is VAST ( like hundreds of pages of theads on thaivisa.

pattjock Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 This is only for people who own a property where a foreigner is staying, for any length of time. The foreigner staying at the place do not need to have a copy of this and is not in any way responsible for doing this. It's all up to the owner of the property. The three cases when it will involve the foreigner is: 1. If a foreigner is living in his own condo he has to do this every time he returns from a trip outside Thailand. 2. If a foreigner is living in a condo or house, owned by his wife, his wife has to do this. 3. If a foreigner is renting out a property to another foreigner he has to do this.

Bangel72 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Definitely a step forward. This is an interesting statement "House owners, heads of household, landlords or managers of hotels who accommodate foreign nationals' So the usual case where you go and crash with friends for a few days or weeks or maybe you just hook up and they are renting the property and landlord has no need nor interest in knowing this every time, as the landlord themselves is not 'accommodating' you, nothing needs to be declared?. Not sure I can describe my mrs as particularly accommodating, so guess we are okay then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasThBKK Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 There's also an app now for TM6 papers (eTM6) and 90 day reports (Immigration services) from the same author. They are prolly all legit and make life easier - if they will work. But i DO HAVE ONE BURNING QUESTION: WHY U NOT PUT ALL OF THESE FEATURES IN A SINGLE APP?

If your google country setting is something else than Thailand this app do not show.. Country setting can be changed one time per year, so keep that on your mind if you travel a lot..

That's all well and good unless your landlord - like mine - does not, will not or cannot do it and immigration wants a copy of the TM30 receipt for a 90-day report or for an extension of stay or for a visa application. All 3 of which has happened to me in the last 6 months. I had to get a PoA from the landlord's accountant, go to CW myself, pay his 2,000 baht fine and get the receipt - OR I guess I could have reported him and gotten thrown out of my house.

Now that this well hidden url is out, let's see how long it lasts under the load. So nice of immigration to keep it under the lid, much nicer to go get milked at the dedicated Chonburi immi room.
