Kalasin Jo Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 So the TM 6 just gets stuffed in to a warehouse even though I painstakingly fill in the address, my thai home address, where I will be going every time I enter Thailand.. perhaps after a night or two in a Bangkok or Pattaya hotel where they take a copy of my passport and presumably do TM 30 report. So when I do go home, my Thai home, "they" lose track of me unless I, or to be correct my wife as the housemaster, do a TM 30. But they don't do they because they have that address as my address on my visa application/extension of stay. Thai mobile phone companies are required to log my passport details and, I think, my address too. So when I carry a phone with my Thai SIM in it "they" can track me too. My wife actually refuses to have a phone anymore because she believes that "they" use it to spy on her! "They" now have the most advanced technology, so why can't "they" join it all up and give us, us being long stayers not tourists, a break? And now apparently the TM30 is only needed if we are not staying at the address given on our visa/ extension of stay paperwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please explain this ,also some Thai condo owners wont rent to non Thais because of this flawed system , because they cant be bothered and don't want to be fined because they don't or didn't know the tenant went some where ,how the hell, could they .Also owners of condos that rent them out have agents , who don't tell them its a foreigner renting there condo. so this whole system is flawed. you make laws with no ideas on the backlash this will cause .Not only from visitors ,of teachers who come to work here , and don't want this bs , and business people who want to invest here ,who also hate this system. that treats every one like a criminal . To live here ,we provide a government police clearance , to show we Australian expats are good guys , we wouldn't get that if we weren't, I have been here over 10 years nothing has changed . have had one speeding ticket because I didn't see the sign , not committed one offence of any kind , yet this tm30 has caused me headache , to go report I am home after a four day break , was a 3 hour round trip not happy. The Thai answer would probably be along the lines of: "Dont bother, fuel for the trip will cost near 800baht, just wait to see if fined, then give us 800baht" 55555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your address doesn't have to be the address on your last extension form. You could have changed address since the application. Your official address is the last reported one when submitting the TM30.

Just wondering why they don't run out of room for those. Or when they do, will they eliminate them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
