Can I complete a TM30 at the border if I plan to live in a private residence?
Can you do a tm30 at boarder if you plan on living in private residence
Answer summary
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.

Hotel owners usually understand the process... Private home owners don't
You need signed copies of the house book and ID of the home owner to do on their behalf. Can't do at the border, you need to do at the immigration office, in the province that you are staying. Some provinces allow you to do ot the local police station, but better to go to the immigration office.

How can the border report you staying there? 😆
Jim ********
No. But first you have to practice the spelling of "border" 😂
Willem ****
No. Unless you stay at the border. As mentioned the landlord/ host/hotel reports a foreigner staying at their property.
So in your case the landlord/owner from the private residence need to report you!. Mandatory.

Stay in a hotel your first night. Ask if they’ll give you a copy.

What do you mean at boarder? The house owner/land owner does the TM30 to report a foreigner staying at their house. It is to be reported within 24 hrs of the foreigner using the accommodation.
