TLDR : Answer Summary
If you're staying in hotels in Thailand, the hotel is responsible for filing the TM30 notification on your behalf, so you don't have to do it yourself. However, it’s advisable to request a copy of the TM30 receipt from the hotel, especially if you plan to do your 90-day report in person at immigration, as having the documentation can help avoid potential hassles.
90 DAY REPORTING RESOURCES / SERVICES
  • Use the trusted Thailand 90 Day Reporting Service to get your in-person report done and mailed to you for as low as 375 THB (even if the online system doesn't work for you).
  • For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
  • Join the Thai Visa Advice Facebook Group to ask your questions, and get advice from others.
