The TM28 has nothing to do with the current controversy surrounding the TM30, except for this possibility:
- you go to Immigration to get an extension
- the computer shows that you last stayed at a hotel
- the address which you claim to be your permanent address isn't listed at all

In that case you may be fined for not reporting your return home (TM30) and for never having reported your fixed address at all (TM28).
