wimpy Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 On the Immigration site it says that the TM30 can be filed online. I can't find a link to where one would do that. Anyone? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ubonjoe Posted September 2, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2016 You have to register in order to use the online reporting. It is primarily meant to be used by hotels and etc but a few immigration offices allow individuals to register. This is the login page for doing it. https://extranet.immigration.go.th/fn24online/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimpy Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 Thanks. Any idea how to figure out which offices allow it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 You would have to check with your local office. For the registration you would need an address within the offices area of responsibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquorice Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 A TM 30 can be posted in, but enclose a prepaid return address envelope for the tear of receipt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briofoz Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) Thanks for your prompt reply. I was at the Patong Office and they insisted to do it online, and showed me what the Password was on a previous TM30 Tear off, so I must be registered. They have me residing in Koh Samui, I was there a few weeks ago staying in a Hotel, although I have lived on Phuket in the same address for 9 years. So, I need username, I have the Password.

Bill Miller Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Okay. I got "caught" a few months ago when I learned nobody had done this for me when I, or more correctly my GF, rented a condominium. I have been doing 90 day "bumps" and always thought the TM 6 was sufficient. I wanted to get a residency certificate because I was thinking to get a driving license. Long story short a gal from the condo Juristic office made up some paperwork, and for a nominal fee made the 30 klick trip to Jomtien and settled the fine and brought me back the stamped receipt of notification. I since did an overnight in/out to Cambodia. Am I in trouble for not doing another TM 30 on return to my same address? We will be going to Mae La Noi in a few days, probably staying for a month with family. Is there an immigration office for that district? The Mae Hong Son office info site says they do NOT handle that district, and I cannot find one that says they do. I have read somewhere about reporting to the police station. We have a friend there who is a policeman, and the station is only about one click away. Will reporting there sort of reset the clock on my failure to re-report here after my border hop? How damaging are these particular fines to your immigration record? Thanks for any info/help on what I think all can agree is a particularly vague and confusing issue in a vague and confusing immigration system.

Agusts Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I know if you go out of the country and back again with a new TM6, you need to re-register. But for travelling in Thailand, perhaps don't worry too much, I mean it will be hard for them to figure this out and I think many offices can't be bothered. (Perhaps if you go to a hotel and they may report you and register you, but other than that...). All of this is for the authorities to know exactly where we farangs are at any point in time, but to be honest these countries don't want the hassle, it's all pressure from the western countries I think and their security shenanigans and they themselves don't do it in the west but encourage Thais do it. However, why bother with all this, they can just do a deal with Facebook and Google (and mobile companies) and they know exactly where you are at any time to within 3 meters - these companies now track everyone.... ! Even can do away with all the airport immigration lines... lol (if you opt out, then go and register your TM30 every other day !) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM30 is to be completed by property owners, reporting foreigners living in their property. If you are renting, it's not your concern or your fine.

That's what I thought until I was pointed out (by the Immigration Officer) to a big sign in Thai and English on the wall behind him in the Phuket Town Immigration office, it has both, 1 and 2 saying that 1:) The Landlord could be fined, 2:) The foreigner could be fined if not registered correctly. The fine for farang is maximum 2000b, but heavier for the landlord, can't remember exactly.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then today, to my surprise, I received a user ID and password in a Thai language email from Immigration. Haven't tried to use those yet to actually submit a report online. But I clearly indicated when I did the online registration I was just a solo renter, and my residence area is within Bangkok's Chaengwattana Immigration Office. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TallGuyJohninBKK Posted January 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2019 Well, this ain't working.... So with my Thai wife sitting alongside, I went and was able to log into the Immigration site tonight with the ID and password they had emailed me. And then, immediately, I got onscreen prompts entirely in Thai (in non translatable text) wanting me to go thru the process of changing to a new password, which I was able to complete. Then once into the site itself, more menu choices entirely in Thai, which my wife navigated to get to a forms page where they're finally asking all the usual information that Immigration wants. Was able to enter that in, despite often having to make selections from entirely Thai menus of what kind of visa I have and what my point of entry location to the country was. Completed all that. Then finally, clicked the SAVE button and got some kind of an error message that took me back to the main forms page and erased all the previous fields I had already entered data into. Went back, tried the whole process again, and in the end, got the same unspecific error message, telling me SOMETHING was wrong, but no idea of what. Gave up at that point.... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agusts Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I did this today with the land owner of our building on her tiny phone, she wanted to leave most things empty, but I tried to fill everything I could, the only thing I left out I think was until when my visa was valid...! I also thought it didn't go through, but we logged out and logged in again, then put date for last 2 days and clicked Search, and then my name appeared in the table as a record , under notifications submitted , but not sure how we will know if it is approved...? Don't give up, try again, leave anything not sure empty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The online system was meant primarily for businesses, but I believe Joe and others here have indicated at least some Immigration offices have allowed others to use the system. I was able to get a user ID and password from BKK Immigration to use the system via their online registration process. So that part worked fine. Just couldn't get the online system, once I logged in, to accept my filing. BTW, however, I don't recall seeing any posts here from any private party users saying they were able to successfully file via the online system. Maybe there have been, I just don't recall them. I just wanted to try it to see if I could get registered, and then once past that, to see if it would work for me. Frankly, it's still not very clear whether or not BKK CW Immigration is requiring TM-30 filings from renters... The reports here on that point have been very mixed.

phetphet Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Our building got raided by Immigration recently. They wanted to fine the owners of any apartments, for each person staying there that had not been registered with Immigration Office.. These were mainly holidaymakers. So they are enforcing this.

It's one thing for Immigration to hold OWNERS responsible for failing to file when they're clearly required to do so. It's another thing, at least in my book, if they start trying to fine RENTERS when the owners of their dwellings fail to file -- something a renter wouldn't even necessarily know.

Agusts Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 The fact that they send you tge ID and password should mean they accepted that part, thinking you are a landlord, maybe now you're putting and registering yourself is confusing it, so you're the landlord and renter...! But I thought their webpage code wouldn't /couldn't check for that, maybe whoever processing this later might notice, so I think your submission problem is something else, many landlords using the system, I personally know a few, so it works, for Phuket anyway...!
