Hello. I’m asking for a friend. Is it possible to acquire TM30 in apartments here in Bangkok? She’ll be needing that to change her visa exempt to Non-B.

TLDR : Answer Summary
To acquire a TM30 for a visa status change from a visa exempt to Non-B, your friend's landlord is responsible for filing the TM30 form. It's important for her to ask the landlord for a copy of the TM30 receipt. There are discussions from various users about filing TM30, including experiences with online submission and concerns about its processing. Additionally, there are questions regarding the necessity of TM30 and its relevance compared to other documentation, such as the Thailand Digital Arrival Card.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be agents.co.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

25 years going to Thai, 3-4 times a year, never heard of TM30 until I joined this group.

I am the apartment owner, where do I find TM30 form to report myself? At the airport? There is a site, online, I submitted it 3. July 2025, it has been sitting there as "Processing", even a month after I left Thai.

Does anyone actually give a fcuk about TM30, other than hotel/accomodation establisments?

Edit: does not my Thailand Digital Arrival Card, that has my address in Thai, represent that TM30?

practically not really consent to the average tourist like you unless you have business with the immigration like needing a extension of visa, residency cert then u need to show them your TM30

So I guessed. I have Non O visa that kicked in July 26. 2025. Next time in Thai, October 2025, I will insist on that TM30 at the airport. There are some more admin things to do, someone might ask me for the TM30 form.

TM 30 is not the arrival card. The airport does not give the form out.

Jim Davis the airport has nothing to do with a TM30. Insist away.

The owner of the apartment is responsible for filing the TM30, ask for a copy.

The landlord is supposed to file a TM30. Ask them for a copy of the receipt
