Just after a little confirmation regarding TM30. I arrived in Thailand yesterday (29th of October) on a 90 day O visa with the intention of applying for my full retirement visa. I just want to clarify if I still need to report to immigration to complete a TM30 within a certain period of arriving even though my address is exactly the same as what I applied with for on the 90 day visa on the Thai embassy portal. Iβm just concerned as I donβt want to risk anything but Iβve not been feeling great after a very long journey and zero sleep and the prospect of another long drive to the nearest immigration office.
Thanks.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The TM30 report is a legal requirement in Thailand that mandates property owners to report the presence of foreign guests within 24 hours of their arrival, irrespective of the type of visa held. Although you are concerned about whether you need to report due to having the same address as stated in your visa application, it's crucial to note that TM30 compliance is independent of your visa status. You should check if your landlord has already registered you in the TM30 system. If they haven't, you may need to ensure this is done promptly to avoid complications with your immigration status.
