TM 28 Reporting

Thai immigration scraps TM28 reporting requirements
Thai immigration have scrapped the TM28 form?s change-of-address reporting requirements for all but a few foreigners. The changes came into effect, with little fanfare, on January 28.
The TM28 is still listed on the Immigration website but there?s now a long list of exceptions added which means that almost no one will be required to submit the forms. In 2019 a crackdown on the TM28 and TM30 forms caused an uproar in sections of the expat community who cried foul about their lives being made more difficult, and the inconveniences and impracticalities of the forms.
TM28, listed under section 37 of the Thai Immigration Act, has been an official requirement since 1979 but was rarely enforced by immigration officials. But last year officials started enforcing the law more literally, causing widespread outrage. Many foreigners, including long term expats living in Thailand, said they didn?t even know the requirement existed.
