Hi my question:  Can TM30 reporting be done online with a smartphone and without a computer. This is for the reason of coming back to my Thai home from travelling and informing them I’m home. I know it sounds a bit of a silly question but I’ve heard it’s a bit of a nightmare. It’s not a hotel it’s my home in Thailand. TYIA

TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, TM30 reporting can be done online using a smartphone as long as you have internet access and a web browser. Users have successfully filed TM30 reports using phones and tablets, but it is necessary to print the PDF confirmation, which must be kept in your passport. Experiences may vary based on the local immigration office's policies regarding TM30 compliance.

Depends on what office but in some of you return with a re entry permit to the same address you don’t need to do it but once your registered a phone will work just need to print it out

I've been living in Thailand for 10 years and travel domestically and internationally every year. I'm on an Extension of Stay marriage visa and we've never had to do the TM30 until recently, except when renewing my EofS where it becomes part of the EofS process. This year, the authorities asked my wife and me why we hadn't done the TM30 reporting and we were a bit shocked! 🤗🤔

I guess it depends on your immigration office.

Udon Thani haven’t been interested on my return from either domestic or international trips if I’m returning to the same address

Yes I’d agree this is true until there is a niccup with immigration then all of a sudden the TM 30 rules apply within 24 hrs of arrival at the residence.

It's a website so as long as you have a browser on your phone an inter-web connection you can access it 🙂

It takes a bit to make a profile, then add an address, THEN file a TM30 on someone at that address, save their data then search for it to export the PDF file that is the receipt of having filed a TM30 online, BUT it could be done on a phone.

You'll have to print that PDF somehow as you're supposed to keep it in your passport

@Martin *******

are you returning to Thailand from a trip outside of Thailand?

IF that is TRUE... then you may need to visit your local Thai Immigration office to file a new TM 30, address registration form. Ask your local Thai Immigration office for their requirements.
