Thailand Visa question No. 421/22: TM30 notification and rental
I have a question about the experiences with the TM30. About 2 weeks ago I went to make a TM30 report for my tenant at Jomtien Immigration, to my surprise the line of fine payers was extremely long. My impression was that anyone who came to get an extension and could not present a TM30 first had to pay a 1.600 baht fine and then first fix the TM30 before they could get their extension.
How high are the fines for “illegally” bringing fruit and vegetables from Thailand to Schiphol?
Does anyone know how high the fines are for "illegally" bringing fruit and vegetables from Thailand to Schiphol? It is allowed to bring fish, durian, coconuts, bananas and pineapples from Thailand. Meat, dairy and other fruit and vegetables are not allowed, unless you have a "phytosanitary" certificate from the Thai government.
People who take to the streets in Thailand without a face mask risk a fine of 20.000 baht, which is about 525 euros. This rule applies in 48 provinces. For that reason, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has been fined 6.000 baht for not wearing a mask while meeting with his advisers at a vaccine procurement meeting.
Thailand Visa Question No. 015/21: Overstay
Reader question: Jail if fine is not paid?
It concerns the following: my girlfriend drove her car without insurance (stupid, but nothing can be done about it), and had a collision. No human injuries, just a cow run over. The owner of the cow demands hefty compensation. Now my friend claims that the police knocked on her door and urged her to pay the amount to the owner. If not, she will go to jail for 3 months. Question: is that possible? Can the police (and not the judge) throw someone in jail?
Reader's entry: 'Thailand holiday becomes nightmare for French tourist (31) due to banned E-cigarette'
If you travel to Thailand, it is best to leave your electronic cigarettes at home. These have been banned since 2014 and carry hefty fines. If you are caught with an e-cigarette, it will be confiscated and the owner could be fined, or even face up to ten years in prison.
What is the penalty/penalty for a 90-day late notification?
What is the sanction fine for a late 90 day notification? In my case 1 day late (I know, my own fault). Initially a fine of 2.000 Baht. When I got my passport back, the officer slipped another 1.000 Baht note into the passport and said: half half. So in the end paid 1000 Baht and no receipt of course.
Heavy fine for not wearing seat belt
From April 5, you will be screwed if the Thai police catch you not wearing a seat belt. The fine can range from 500 to 50.000 baht. The lowest fine is for passengers in their own car, the higher fines of up to 50.000 baht are for drivers and passengers of public vehicles.
I have been staying in Thailand most of the time for about 20 years and own a condo in Chiangmai. But this morning at the Immigration Department in Chiangmai Promenade, for the first time when applying for my '90 days', I had to pay a 1600 Baht fine for not reporting my return to Chiangmai 24 hours after arrival at my condo building.
Reader Question: Too late for 90-day extension and fine
This afternoon (Thursday, June 9, 15.00 p.m.) I registered at immigration soi 5 in Jomtien for a 90-day report. I was 8 days late and reported this to the officer on duty. I was politely received my 90 day extension but had to pay a 500 baht fine or else apply for a new retired visa for 1900 baht.
Fines in the Netherlands
A while ago I wrote a post about the height of fines in Thailand. While surfing the internet I came across the amounts of fines as they currently (2015) apply in the Netherlands. Perhaps this is better for road safety, but it is a lot of money that people lose.
