Do I need to complete the TM30 form every time I move between residences in Thailand?

I don't think it's realistic to keep checking this with immigration every month unless you have nothing better to do or really like the new immigration office (they do have AC and free water). My understanding is the same as

@Ba***

's, they only need it if you come back from abroad, not within Thailand. That's what I do.

If they change their mind the fine is a maximum of 1,600B, not exactly huge. And I'm sure word will get out when the first person is fined for going across the border to Lamphun, we will hear about it.

Sure you can try updating and see if they say anything like “sorry already done”

I'd still go to immigration and make sure if the information is a month or two old. They do change their policies from time-to-time

@Barry *****

thank you 😉

@Benjamin *****

, incorrect. It’s the landlord that gets fined but they collect through the visitor!

@Aslam *****

I suggest getting a new apartment, or have him watching the following video from the Thai government:



Or just do it yourself (search this group, information's been provided)

@As***

you can do it yourself. You shouldn't have to, but you can if necessary.

My landlord will kick me out from his house if I tell him to file TM30

Ok...thanks for your advices

It may be a joke, but if you don't file it, you'll get fined.

@Aslam *****

you may consider it a joke...but its been law for many years.

Samutprakan told me the same 😆

yep....but lucky for him...I think Chiang Mai does not require it. Note I said ...I think...He needs to ask CM Imm. Also can file TM30 online.

@James *******

it would really blow my mind if he had to do this every week at the same address as he’s being registered from the hotel for one night

Same for me as I use Jomtien. But sadly that is not happening in many immigration offices throughout Thailand. We are lucky 😉
