Can I complete a TM30 at the border if I plan to live in a private residence?

You cannot complete a TM30 report at the border if you plan to live in a private residence in Thailand. The responsibility for filing a TM30 rests with the landlord or owner of the accommodation. They must report the foreigner living in their property to the immigration office within 24 hours. If you are staying in a hotel, the hotel management usually handles this process for you. However, for private residences, you must visit the immigration office with necessary documents such as a copy of the house book and the owner's ID.
