So did I, but, learned from experience that it's better to keep these 3 documents stapled in the passport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah not sure why to be honest I would need to have a copy of my TM.30 on me at all times when I carry my passport...............which is one to odd occasion I need to go to the bank. Can understand if going to immigration like Iam this afternoon to grab a residency cert but its no bother to grab the TM.30 and add it to the other mountain of paperwork I need to take.

Dumbastheycome Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Once.....just once I was given a plastic sleeve that fitted perfectly on the last page of my passport and the I.O at the time put my departure slip, receipt for extension and 90 day slip all in with no staples. Sadly when I exited on a re entry the Swampy I.O removed it and all the contents without me realizing ! Never seen another one since. Back to staples !

Go to your local immigration office for your annual extension or whatever reason you're going there, and suddenly they want to see your TM30 receipt even if they haven't asked for it before. The TM30 receipt is the smallest of them all and can even get smaller using a pair of scissors. You read all the time about people "losing" the TM6-card or something else they are supposed to keep. Some of them don't want a few holes made by the stapler. My passport has 34 pages and I don't care if my TM30 receipt is stapled to one of them. Better there than nowhere, if you know what I mean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My TM30 is A4 in sze as I do a screen grab and print that when I do mine online. As for immigration and extensions, The HR dept here sorts all that malarky... I just show up, smile and sign on the dotted line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonsamui55 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I once had a China visa offer almost not let me into China despite having a multiple entry visa to China because there were repeated staple jokes in the visa from the thai immigration people repeatedly stapling “useless” papers on the back side of the same page. Apparently the Chinese immigration officers can’t possibly fathom the ridiculousness of such abuse of a stapler, and had a hard time believing that someone else had defaced their visa and not me. Eventually he did cave in, only because of my pleading and showing the same excessive stapling in my wife’s passport who was standing next to me in the same line.

I'd make multiple copies of each...just to be really sure. The more the better! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we were issued with the visa extension and multi entry we got a receipt for paying money. We were advised we should keep it in the passport as evidence in case of error. Having had one issue before we decided to make a small copy and put that in. Must say we did get a smile and nod when the IO flipped it opened last time ...
