Do hotels file the TM30 form for guests, and what happens when I move to a condo in Thailand?

It depends on the property owner. If the owner does not file it, you can do it yourself. Nowadays, the process is much more convenient than before and can be done through three main channels:

1. Online (most popular): via the website or the Section 38 mobile application

2. In person: at the Immigration Office responsible for the area where the accommodation is located

3. By mail: send the documents by registered mail to the Immigration Office

Required documents (if you file it yourself):

• Copy of the foreigner’s passport information page

• Copy of the page showing the latest arrival stamp

• Copy of the house registration or rental/lease agreement

• Copy of the property owner’s Thai ID card

We use our estate agent for our TM30 👍 she charge 500baht to do it for us 👍

I’m staying in a hotel for a month. I just put it on my TDAC. All good. Stamped my passport.

Correct

You might need to ask them to do it for you, as was my experience when I first came to Thailand. Just a gentle reminder when you're checking in will get them on to it

Yes, you are right.

The TM30 will be filed online by the hotel as a mandate with in first 24 hrs of you entering Thailand.

Once you move into an apartment/ condo, you need to ensure that the landlord files the TM30. Every time you travel out of Thailand and enter again, this TM30 needs to be updated by the landlord again.

Yes, but, even if living in a condo, every single time you use a hotel in any place of the kingdom, they'll file another TM-30.

Corrent

Yes, hotels are required to fill it out, and yes, you will need to ask the owner to submit a new TM30 after your move.
