Do condo owners in Bangkok usually fill out the TM30 form easily? Should I get a photocopy of the owner’s ID and a copy of the property ownership document? Do they usually provide these documents without any issues? Should I request these documents from the real estate agent I rented the place from?

Answer summary

Condo owners in Bangkok can vary in their willingness to provide the necessary documentation for the TM30 form, which includes the owner's ID and property ownership proof. It's advisable to discuss the TM30 process prior to signing a rental agreement and ensure it is included as part of the arrangement. Tenants are encouraged to request these documents from either the owner or the real estate agent. Some tenants have reported receiving these documents easily, while others have noted inconsistencies in availability. Therefore, confirming these details before entering into a lease is recommended.

Just tell them to renew the license tomorrow and then he can borrow it. For Thais, it’s easy. Farangs, not so much.

TM30 should be discussed before renting and have this in the rental agreement that they will do it free of charge.

The owner’s ID comes with the lease agreement in the annexes along with a copy of your passport.

Yes, you should request directly to owner or agent to get those copies mentioned. Normally they are not familiar with the process. Tenant can open own account and apply TM30 as well.

Before you pay rent, just ask the print out of the registration which can be done on-line at
