I’m hearing a lot lately with regard to the TM30 form. I do my yearly extension of stay and ninety day checkins at Chaengwattana office and have never been asked to produce this. I live in an apartment complex, and was under the impression that it was incumbent on the landlord to register with immigration that I was living there. Am I legally obliged to fill out and register with this TM30 form. The rental contract is in my name.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The TM30 form is a notification required for landlords in Thailand to report the arrival of foreign tenants to immigration authorities. While the landlord is generally responsible for this registration, tenants should confirm whether their landlord has completed the TM30 filing. It's unclear if you, as the tenant, are directly responsible for the TM30 form unless the landlord fails to register, but it's always advisable to check to ensure compliance with immigration rules.
