Does anyone know if Jakarta asks for a tm30? I live in a private house owned by my thai partner. Usually with tourist visa ext I just need to say that and get him to write a note with a copy of his ID. Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

In Thailand, a TM30 is necessary if you are staying in a private residence, such as with a partner or friend. The property owner is responsible for registering your stay. The TM30 serves as proof of address when extending your visa. However, it is not required for applying for a new visa after leaving the country.

TM30 is voided when you leave the country. You need it to extend a visa, as a proof or address, but not to apply for a new visa.

Not voided if you return to same address. :-) Well it depends on the Immigration Office I suppose but in Chonburi it is not.

Yes, it depends on the office. Chonburi did not bother with it but implemented October 2023 again for overseas trips. I went to UK and reregistered. Went to Vietnam a couple of. Months later and went to the office but told to go away. Too much work lol

And this has to be submitted when applying for the DTV visa?

Anonymous participant not be needed unless asked for by the Thai Embassy or Consulate where you are applying for the DTV visa. Look at their website for their requirements for the Visa. Likely they may ask you for the address of where you will be staying in Thailand. Possible other requirements for residence.

I've never had it in 5 years of being here and immigration never said anything. You need it to get the dtv or just extension?
