I just got a condo in Pattaya via a private notice board in the foyer of a condo. I did a deal with the owner (as we are both Australians and we wrote a basic contract on A4 paper in English which we both signed)

Now I was advised by a motorbike licence service that I would need to do a tm30 at jomtien before I apply for a drivers licence transfer to avoid being fined.

Can I do the tm30 myself with the hand written contract? Or do I need the owner to help me? 

Cheers I usually just holiday in Thailand so condos,tm30 and transferring idp’s is new to me.

Answer summary

The TM30 is required when you change your residential address in Thailand. While it is possible to complete this process independently, you will need the owner's ID and housebook documents if you choose to do it in person. Alternatively, the owner can help you by registering the condo online, which may simplify the process. Additionally, it's worth noting that there are no strict requirements to transfer your driver's license until you need to renew it.

why would you even apply for a drivers' license transfer? Just use the old license (which has the old address in thai) until it expires and then apply for a new one like normal. There is no rule you need to go get a new license when you change addresses.

it’s an international driving permit.

And I’m the end convinced the ladies at the reception of the condo to do the tm30 for me online. And they gave me the print out.

You have to do TM30.

Do you mean transfer your driving licence to new address ?

No need to do this until next time you renew it for new address

The most easy and convenient way for both is when the owner register his condo with Immigration so he can report you and future tenants using the app or website.

You can do in person but you need owners id and housebook.

Choose TM 30 and he can do on line or download the app.
