Non-O Visa Thai Immigration Rules TM30 Reporting Re-entry Permit Expats in Thailand

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi guys, my Uncle has been Non-O (Spouse) visa for many years. This current Non-O ends this Dec 2019. He recently went out of Bangkok to settle some family matters. Before exiting he did the re-entry premit. But was told by the immigration officer that he needs to report to Chang Wattana Immigration when he comes back to BKK. 

As in my question is that the immigration officer said that every time a foreigner with Non-O visa returns to Thailand they need to report to Chang Wattana Immigration? 

Anyone got the same issue here?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquired about the requirement for holders of Non-O (Spouse) visas to report to Chang Wattana Immigration when returning to Thailand after a trip. Responses indicated that it is mandatory for foreigners with Non-O visas to report their arrival to immigration within 24 hours, and this may involve submitting a TM30 form to update their address.

Where was the Immigration Officer that gave this advice - the airport or in an Immigration office?

at the airport when my Uncle was doing his re-entry. 2 days back. It should be TM30.

First time I read this, so let's wait for all the others who returned and got the same advice. The only reason for this advice seems to me to report or update his address at Immigration.

Could be to issue a TM30

Currently TM30 reporting is only occasionally being enforced in Bangkok.
