TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, it appears that individuals holding a Work Permit from a BOI (Board of Investment) company are often exempt from TM30 reporting requirements. Several users in the discussion have confirmed they have never been asked to complete TM30 forms or have only encountered it infrequently while reporting for 90-day notifications at immigration offices. However, it is also mentioned that compliance and exemptions may vary based on individual circumstances and types of visa held.

And there goes another TM30 discussion. Please read the rules again and again, there is nowhere in the text that you as foreigner has to file this report in person. The land owner, house owner, house master or possessor of the house, or even some one else can do it using the Power of Attorney. If you do not like to visit Immigration or use an app to inform them, find an solution. Think outside the box, there are many options. Have fun today.

I used to work for UN, had a non-immigrant "F" visa and was officially exempted from 90 day reporting and TM30. But this was 4 years ago.

I'm a foreigner, do not even work and I never report a TM30, so what is the point of going to work for a BOI company to avoid something I not have to do anyway? And for those who think I'm breaking laws, sorry guys, my address is registered with the Immigration Office correctly

@Robert ******

but if you leave the country etc, you would have to report within 24 hours, or if you stay at a hotel in a different province, the hotel would file you as being there, so you would need tolet them know you are back right?

i'm not exempt, I talked with my land owner and house owner and we agreed that the land owner is going to make the reports.
