Hey hey, you have never encountered me before, and that is good for you!
But if your opinion is to be worth anything and I say they're not because what you are telling is just crap and barstool talk, so you better listen to me before I loose my temper.
You have time and time again attacked one of our moderators and I will no longer tolerate your posts. You are hereby dismissed. You are not quietly gone!

I hope that was not directed at me as I was the post immediately before yours. Please indicate who you are directing your posts at. It would be less confusing.

Hello HHTel.
NO, this has nothing to do with you
It's all about T.O.M.

IN KORAT!!!
Yes, I can confirm that the TM30 reporting requirements are being vigorously enforced in Korat, but, seemingly, only for those who leave the country.

The fine structure is as follows:

Foreigner who fails to report: 2000 baht
Local landlord who fails to report and wants a receipt: 800 baht
Local landlord who fails to report but doesn't need a receipt: 500 baht

How can I find the T&Cs ? My bookmark brings me to active topics and I don’t see a link to T&Cs.

All posts talking about reporting back to IO after 3 months to prove money is still in the account have been moved to the below. Let's keep this thread focused on the TM30 - 24 hour reporting.

Don't know about vigorously, but also at Udon Thani now, and handing out 2k baht fines. As reported on local forum.

Hi to the banished TOM. "What did I expect" an answer, which I duly got. Not bar stool talk,not rumor but an answer from an Immigration Officer sitting at her desk. I in future will do the TM30 reporting and leave it up to you and others to let us know if you get fined or not for not reporting.

Oh silly me, you can't, your banished.

I don't think this has been posted here and although it's a few days old, I think this is a very good summary of the current state of play:

What gets me is that they talk about landlords whereas many of us are married to a Thai wife - do we really have to consider her as our landlord? Although I know I run the risk of being fined following all the publicity, but just before I left the country in July, when I was getting my re-entry stamp in my passport, I asked the IO if I had to complete a TM30 upon my return and he said no, so I haven’t.

Another thing I'm not clear about ... does the landlord (wife) have to complete it online AND the farang has to physically go to immigration with the same form?

In other words there will be two fines for those married to Thais.

We both went to Immigration, and I was called to the window for about 10 seconds so they could see I was there. I was then told to take a seat.

Doesn't really answer the question as to whether I'm facing two fines or one.
