Hey all, I'm a bit confused with the TM30 and 90 day report thing.

I've been here for about 120 days. My flight landed on 25/10/24.

My agent gave me a TM30, but the informed date is 30/10/24 because I was at a hotel waiting for my condo to be ready.

Okay so to fix this situation, do I take my TM30 to the immigration office to sort this out? Or do I need my TM30 and get the TM47 online and take both to immigration? Or get the TM47 there? And in future after 90 days I can do it online?

Any help would be appreciated!

Hello,

I’m moving to Thailand to continue my Muay Thai career. I train out of Manop in Chiang Mai (I have trained there previously). I am certain that gym has all of the correct certifications to enable visa sponsorship. However, sponsorship is not advertised and Kru Manop takes cash payment on arrival rather than requiring booking.

After learning more about what is required, I am a little reluctant to trouble kru Manop for all the required documents, though when I asked for his help I offered to pay a fee. Would it be better to simply spend a month at a gym that already understands the visa requirements, even if it’ll cost me more, for the convenience before going to my preferred camp?

Thank you!

Hello everyone, I know this question has been asked plenty of times but my situation doesn’t quite align with the similar ones found in search. I am applying in Ho Chi Minh as a remote worker. The question is the place of issue for the passport, my mexican passport issued in Shanghai has a remark about issuing state code as MEX and just a remark in the right bottom as SHANGHAI. Is it correct to select Shanghai as place of issue even if on the passport there are no exact remarks for this as “place of issue”? Thanks so much in advance

I am coming to Thailand in April and I am told that when I go through passport control, I will be asked about the date of return. I wont be able to tell them as I am intending to retire in Thailand with my Thai wife. Am I likely to have problems with passport control. I have a copy of my marriage certificate
