Popular Post lothda Posted June 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2020 The Chiang Mai Immigration website has this information about a change in TM30 rules (which should apply to all immigration offices). Essentially from June 30 the TM30 is to be used only for registration of NEW tenants/guests by landlords/hotels etc. For renters like me that means that once you are registered at a particular address, you don't need to fill a TM30 when you return to that same address again - no matter if returning from travel in Thailand or abroad. Which is as it should be. 20 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannoblic Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Hi Lothda, Does this mean the requirement to report if already having stayed at an address would no longer be required - and if so will it matter how long the absence is? For example, I live with my Thai wife in a house we own but we do travel both within Thailand and abroad. Also, some family members from the UK have visited for holidays [and we did register them] so if they come again does it mean we don'y have to? I think we need more details and to see the actual government statement with the details in it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lothda Posted June 22, 2020 Author Share Posted June 22, 2020 I just got a rough translation of the info. If you click the link in my post ("this information") you will be taken to a page which has an overview as well as the full police order for this change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how the App works, but I did sent you PM a step-by-step instruction on how to register on the IO TM30 website and subsequently file your TM30s on-line. Easy (if you know how to do it) - will take approx 1/2 hour to register and 1/2 hour to file your very first TM30. Subsequent ones will only take 1-2 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dumbastheycome Posted June 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2020 Some common sense prevails. Maybe prompted a little by the desire for an increase in domestic tourism? Foreigners who still have a little cash to spend and for many who do not have employment ties may be more tempted to venture out without that particular irk. Or perhaps as part of the tedious task for Immigration to work through all the visas currently "automatically" being covered under the amnesty was enough to perceive it as a bit redundant? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is, at the bottom you have 3 buttons LogIn / Cancel / Register Clicking the Register button allows you to register, and on successful application you receive your username:password, which will then allow you to log-in and file your TM30s.

With my first post #1O I did PM you a step-by-step instruction on how to register and file your TM30s. With registering done, now simply follow the steps in that document to file your TM30.

4MyEgo Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 One has to ask oneself, why on earth would one want to contribute to their economy, when they want to track our movements, seriously, they know where we live, retirees and married farangs. TM30, no contribution to their economy from me, we all have choices, the 90 days online is enough for me, my choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
