Quote from: fceligoj on March 29, 2019, 12:02:30 PMYou all are absolutely correct. So, this is what was explained to my wife. If the foreigner leaves for several days and checks into a hotel/resort, etc, the hotel/resort owner (in a perfect world), submits the information to immigration of the farang staying at their facility. The farang leaves and goes back to his 'permanent' residence in Thailand. BUT DOES NOT INFORM THE LANDLORD/OWNER THAT HE IS BACK.Who is at fault? Come to your own conclusions, but IMM says it is the fault of the foreigner of not informing the landlord/owner that he left and had now returned. All this is surmised that the hotel/resort informs IMM of the farang staying in their facility.It is no different than when you go on a trip to somewhere outside the province with wife/gf (from her residence), and when you come back she goes to IMM to submit a Form 30.But it is all your own decision of what you plan on doing!Frank, thanks for posting this. You bring up some good points. Assuming that what you are saying is correct (and I am not completely sure that it is), the slimy foreigner's obligation (assuming that it is indeed a legitimate obligation) is to report to the owner, NOT to Immigration. The responsibility for filing the TM30 still belongs to the owner, not with the slimy foreigner. In theory, the slimy foreigner sends a registered letter (or some other means that constitutes proof of compliance) to owner announcing his return, and he's out of it at that point. No? Disclaimer: I realize that being married to or in a relationship with owner presents a different set of dynamics, but that is not what I am addressing here.

Update 2: Got their email. I clicked on the link in the email which was a typical way to confirm my email address was correct. I went back to the Immigration Bureau site and click on register and then click on check status. Sure enough the application is there and says approval or non approval will be determined by KK Immigration with 7 business days. Stay tuned. https://extranet.immigration.go.th/fn24online/
