Evidently Chaengwattana does NOT typically need a TM-27 (despite the comments below). The situation that makes this different is that I have not filed a 90 day report at my new home in Bangkok (because I've left the country multiple times and not stayed long enough for a 90 day report) so my last 90 day report from last year still reflects my old address. That's the cause of the situation and need to return next week.

Saw a related topic and thought I'd share a cautionary tale from today's visit to Chaengwattana. Error on my part, hopefully will get it worked out. Hadn't heard of this happening before, but I'm sure it has. Immigration officer said I was the second person today with a similar experience. Had been living in Hua Hin for a couple years then started to split my time with a place I rented in Bangkok.
Did the last two extensions of stay in Hua Hin (over 50, non-O). Last year, I left my place in Hua Hin and have been living exclusively in Bangkok. Did the Bangkok TM 30 once I moved for good, but did not file a change of address TM-27 (cue foreboding music).
Today I tried to get a new extension. Had every bit of paperwork I thought was necessary, but got caught out on not having done the address change and asked why I wasn't going to the Hua Hin office for my extension. Explained I hadn't been living there for almost a year and showed them my Bangkok rental contract and TM 30.
They asked for my last rental contract and TM 30 for my place in Hua Hin (which miraculously I had with me).
All ended up with them asking me to write a letter to the supervisor explaining my move, apologizing and asking for their consideration. Have to go back next week (with freshly updated bank letter, transaction record and bank book since it'll be beyond the 7 day period of the previous letter) to see if the extension was approved by the supervisor.
Sooo... Chaengwattana definitely appears to need the TM-27 filed if you move provinces.
Hello all. I live in Bangna, Bangkok. I'm British here on NonO visa which expires on 18th March. I'm planning to apply for my Retirement Visa by myself. I have the funds in the account but just for a month now. I have TM30.
Hi all, I have was given great advice in the past from this group so I have another question. I am currently in Bangkok near Phrom Phong and want to extend my visa 30 days. I am having trouble finding a government immigration office somewhat near me. All I see are 3rd party offices and immigration lawyers. Can anyone please tell me where I can find a Government immigration office?
I’m due my first 90 day reporting in person. Is it correct that I need the TM47 form, my TM30 and my passport only?
Also I go to Division 1 immigration office for my non o extension, but I’m hearing that I don’t go there for the 90 day report, is that also correct? If so where do I go? I live in Nong Chok.
my passport was stolen or I lost it. I have a temporary one tomorrow, and need to exit thailand for work asap. I have a F visa (non immigrant), which need to be transfered i guess befopre i leave the country (question 1).
question 2: I red several threads, but not sure of the final answer about where to go. IT Square or governement building (I am based in Bangkok).
I just renewed my passport at the Australian Embassy in Bangkok. I have a Retirement Visa and multi entry stamp in the old passport, which I still have on hand. I plan to present both old and new passport to the immigration officer to get stamped out of the country. Question is whether the existing, valid Retirement Visa and multiple entry stamp will be transferred to the new passport on the day of departure by Immigration? I have a sinking feeling in my stomach that I will need to visit Chaengwattana to sort it out, prior to flying. Incidentally, I will exit via Suvarnabhumi before having to renew my current 90 Day Report, so that doesn't present any issues. Much appreciated to those who can offer their solid experience here. Cheers
