TLDR : Answer Summary
The user registered for the TM30 service online but faced issues when trying to use it at Jomtien Immigration, which required them to redo the TM30 in person for a visa extension. Comments from other users suggest a possible misunderstanding of the online registration process and the necessity of having the official TM30 forms from immigration, rather than relying solely on the online registration.

Anytime I've went with a printed online TM30, I've had to get them to issue "theirs" and fix to passport page

and that being said, I left Thailand after 90 days and returned to the same address and didn't do a tm30 online based on what i read on various fb posts. That little episode cost 1600฿ in a fine 🤷‍♂️

I think the tm30 online is ok, until you need to show a tm30 to immigration. But as long as it is on their system, they just write a slip and fix that slip into your passport for free

It's a 3 step process, first you register your account, then you can add the address(es) and finally, you add the foreigner(s) to the relevant address. Did you complete all 3?

the TM30 .Io website is not the official TM30 website. It's an agency that is trying to sell large volume services to hotels and such. But they allow low volume for free. Generally had good reports in the past

I hadn't really heard of anyone using that website recently

what I did was use their log in details to access official site and then changed the password. Now I use the official site for free.
