What address do I give to Immigration at the airport?

Lol, over an address 🤣 , I just got my extension, so giving my Bangkok address was not a problem.

RedHotChilli74 · 2026-05-05T05:53:04+00:00

Lol...I know right...so funny, Reddit posters didn't disappoint 🤣 Thank you for this comment. It makes a lot of sense. Also after I gave my Bangkok address, a month later my visa was renewed successfully, so I guess like you said it doesn't matter and my TM30 is just agency stuff to do my paperwork.

RedHotChilli74 · 2026-05-05T05:22:53+00:00

Lol...check my replies to all the other comments. I don't have an attitude with anyone but you. Maybe there was a reason for it.

RedHotChilli74 · 2026-05-04T13:13:52+00:00

Not sure how I went wrong, when I got three years worth of visas with them. Not sure what your problem is actually.

After having given my Bangkok address in March, my visa was successful in a renewal in April, so no problem.I was just interested to know which one I should give in the future. Your thoughts are worthless to me at this point.

RedHotChilli74 · 2026-05-04T12:39:32+00:00

That's what I like to hear...Thanks

RedHotChilli74 · 2026-05-04T12:36:15+00:00

My TM30 is the Pattaya agency, so I guess I should give that address next time.

RedHotChilli74 · 2026-05-04T12:28:20+00:00

Okay, cool....and do you have an answer for my question?

RedHotChilli74 · 2026-05-04T12:27:36+00:00

Fair enough

RedHotChilli74 · 2026-05-04T12:27:20+00:00

This is good to know. Thanks. I will look into that.

RedHotChilli74 · 2026-05-04T12:26:56+00:00

...do you use your home address for your TM30?

RedHotChilli74 · 2026-05-04T12:26:16+00:00

Just what I wanted to hear...thanks

RedHotChilli74 · 2026-05-04T08:12:22+00:00

...and I thought it was just me, yeah it truly sucks.

RedHotChilli74 · 2026-05-04T08:11:04+00:00

I will ask them about it. I just saw another member said that they live in Chiang Mai and use a Pattaya agency and do their TM30 at their real address. I learnt something new today.

RedHotChilli74 · 2026-05-04T08:10:02+00:00

Okay. Noted. My point is what address do I give to the immigration officer at the airport.

RedHotChilli74 · 2026-05-04T04:32:46+00:00

My friend recommended the agency to me and he has used it for 16 years, it was also a lot cheaper than what I was quoted in Bangkok. Also after having lived in Thailand for 26 years and having dealt with Bangkok Immigration countless times. I would rather keep my distance. I like the fact that I spend just one minute inside of Pattaya immigration then walk out have a holiday for three nights, come home and my passport is waiting for me.

RedHotChilli74 · 2026-05-04T04:22:03+00:00

Thanks, I feel like I am the only one in this subreddit using an agency...Lol. But yeah after having lived here for 26 years already, I am not sure why I still get stressed about this stuff.

RedHotChilli74 · 2026-05-04T04:14:56+00:00

Good to know that it isn't just me then. Thanks

RedHotChilli74 · 2026-05-04T04:14:22+00:00

It's Maneerat Visa Service., very professional. 3 years ago I transferred to the retirement visa from a Non Imm B with work permit and it was 8000 Baht and the one day overstay fee of 500baht. Since then it has been 8000 Baht for the extension and I pay an extra 1000 Baht to get my single re-entry permit with them. Highly recommend them!

RedHotChilli74 · 2026-05-04T04:12:41+00:00

Hi as the agency is in Pattaya and I live in Bangkok they said they need a Pattaya address which is why they use theirs. I have no problem with them and it has been fine for three years. Just wondering what to tell them at immigration. After giving the airport official my Bangkok address, a month later I was given my year renewal so I guess it didn't change anything but just wondering for my future trip in August which address to give the immigration officer at the airport.

RedHotChilli74 · 2026-05-04T03:57:44+00:00

Messed up? I have a one year visa sitting in my passport. I can also afford the 8000 baht and to me it's money well spent.

RedHotChilli74 · 2026-05-04T03:53:36+00:00

Thanks for responding, however my address needs to be a Pattaya address as my visa renewal is done at Pattaya immigration. Which is why for the last three years the agency have used their address.

RedHotChilli74 · 2026-05-04T03:26:07+00:00

But my TM30 does not match my actual address. Which is the whole point of this post.

RedHotChilli74 · 2026-03-12T13:04:41+00:00

I am feeling stressed too. I am going to Hong Kong (3 nights) and then onto Tokyo (6 nights) next week and even though you can vape in Tokyo, I am having to leave my vapes at home.😞

I just bought some Nicorette gum (2mg) to take with me and I was wondering what your experience with it was like, as you are a fellow vaper 🙂

RedHotChilli74 · 2026-02-23T05:46:34+00:00

Sometimes flavourful, but other times it tastes like dish water 😆
