NicoElNino\/Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It\u2019s barely 8am and the queues of foreigners waiting for Bangkok\u2019s main immigration office to open look more reminiscent of the release of a new iPhone or a ticket release for a hot concert than a typical day of visa renewals.<\/p>\n<p>Business is brisker than ever, with waiting times stretching two to six hours after an old law was revived earlier last year to monitor the whereabouts of foreigners.<\/p>\n<p>The TM30 order requires foreigners to notify immigration within 24 hours when they are back home from a trip abroad or to another province. While this can be done via an app, there have been many reported glitches, with users resorting to fill in their forms at the immigration complex at Chaeng Wattana on the outskirts of Bangkok.<\/p>\n<p>One retired English teacher in line to renew his visa was fined THB800 (USD26) after a recent trip abroad. He was under the impression his landlord was supposed to file the report on his behalf, which is technically true. But with many landlords unavailable or unwilling to comply, it has been left to tenants to file the report and pay the fine. \u201cI had to pay it. There wasn\u2019t much I could do,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>The TM30 order dates back to the immigration law of 1979, when Thailand was trying to control the refugee crisis sparked by the conflicts in Vietnam and Cambodia. Recent years have seen it being revived in some provinces, but it wasn\u2019t until April when the government announced it would strictly enforce the law nationwide.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>There are many condominiums and apartments available for rent and whatever happens, landlords still want foreigners to rent them<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The government claims the order will aid with national security and force landlords to be more open about their business. But many newspapers and expats have taken a more cynical view, slamming it as a means of exerting tighter control on foreigners, getting rid of the ones they don\u2019t like, and a means of making money.<\/p>\n<p>In an editorial in July, the Bangkok Post reports the law will give the tourism industry a \u201cshot in the foot\u201d rather than a much-needed shot in the arm. With rumours spreading that landlords have expressed reluctance to carry on leasing rooms to foreigners, critics are claiming such development could potentially damage both the property and tourism markets.<\/p>\n<p>Yet as the dust settles, it appears such claims hold little weight.<\/p>\n<p>Risinee Sarikaputra, head researcher at Knight Frank Thailand, says that Thailand\u2019s property sector continues to grapple with a huge oversupply of apartments and condominiums, and far from discriminating, landlords are desperate for tenants regardless of nationality. \u201cIt\u2019s a tenant\u2019s market, not a landlord\u2019s market at the moment,\u201d points out Sarikaputra. \u201cThere are many condominiums and apartments available for rent and whatever happens, landlords still want foreigners to rent them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of greater concern than TM30, Sarikaputra informs, is the strong baht and China\u2019s slow economy, which in the second quarter last year grew at its slowest pace in 27 years due to its ongoing trade war with the United States. The same obstacles impact Thailand tourism, which has been heavily dependent on Chinese patrons.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5115\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5115\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5115\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/shutterstock_501987217.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/shutterstock_501987217.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/shutterstock_501987217-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/shutterstock_501987217-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5115\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Queues have grown even longer at Bangkok&#8217;s main immigration office as officials struggle to implements the confusing TM30 order. mingman\/Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Juwai.com executive chairman Georg Chmiel says that Chinese buyer demand for property is directly linked to tourism since a high proportion buy to have a second home or holiday home. \u201cThailand has remained the first or second most popular destination for Chinese tourists over the past two years. After steady recent growth, Chinese tourist visits to Thailand declined by 4.73 percent in the first half of 2019 compared to the prior year,\u201d says Chmiel.<\/p>\n<p>The tourism sector is largely immune to the effects of the TM30 because hotels record the arrival of a foreign guest as standard. Only if a tourist stays at a friend\u2019s house or an AirBnB would the host need to notify authorities, though this appears to be less strictly enforced. Where the TM30 might have an impact is on domestic travel among expats. Those looking to avoid getting tangled in government bureaucracy or risk breaking the law might say no to a weekend away.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/hubba-coworking-space-thailand-amarit-charaoenphan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>More: Meet the man behind Thailand\u2019s co-working empire<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Rather than seeing it as a blow to the tourism industry, Samphan Panpat, honorary adviser to the Thai Hotels Association, feels it will be a boon, as visitors should feel safer knowing the government is aware of where they are. But for expats, the gripe is not so much over filling in a form or having to spend a day at immigration, it\u2019s the sentiment that the ability to live and work in Thailand is getting harder and harder.<\/p>\n<p>Since the military took power in 2014, expats are finding it harder to obtain work permits and visas and are being subjected to questioning upon re-entering the country. On top of this, there is the requirement that they report to immigration every 90 days and now the TM30.<\/p>\n<p>Many expats feel they are being squeezed and pushed out of the country. Where any analysis of how TM30 might affect the economy falls short is that it doesn\u2019t account for this growing discontent. People once keen on settling in Thailand may also be discouraged by this new, cumbersome layer to the country\u2019s bureaucratic rigmarole.<\/p>\n<p>Business chambers and associations have been right to openly criticise the order as being bad for business. In the current climate, Thailand should be doing all it can to improve its image as something of a modern liberal economy open for business\u2014not one reverting to cold war security measures. With dire housing forecasts and a trundling Chinese economy, Thailand must realise that now is the time to open up, not shut itself off.<\/p>\n<p><em>This article originally appeared in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.magzter.com\/TH\/PropertyGuru-International--Thailand--Co.,Ltd\/Property-Report\/Business\/392573\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Issue No. 157<\/a>\u00a0of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.magzter.com\/TH\/PropertyGuru-International-(Thailand)-Co.,Ltd\/Property-Report\/Business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PropertyGuru Property Report Magazine<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The recently revived TM30 immigration may have ruffled some expat&#8217;s feathers, but many still prefer to stay in the coop<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":20478,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[97,92],"tags":[494,133],"class_list":["post-5114","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-magazine","category-news","tag-immigration","tag-thailand","news_country-thailand","news_author-george-styllis"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Thailand revives old law to monitor expats&#039;
