Ask Thailand · Answer

The necessity of filing a new TM 30 registration upon returning to Thailand depends on the local immigration office. While some offices may require a new filing after any absence, others may not require it if you return to the same address. Experiences vary among expats, with some reporting that they have been able to use the same TM 30 without re-filing, while others have faced differing requirements based on office policies. It's advisable to check with your specific immigration office for details.

When is a TM30 Required?

Initial Arrival or New Address: A filing is required when a foreigner first arrives at a property or changes their residential address.No Resubmission needed for Same Stay: If a foreign resident stays at the same address continuously, a new TM30 does not need to be re-filed for every 90-day report. However, a new filing is triggered if you leave the country and return with a new arrival stamp or move to a new location.

My landlord just gave me his login details. Whenever I arrive back home I just logon and send the notification that I'm at the address again. Takes less than 5 minutes to do.

As [mention redacted] said it’s completely dependent on the office you use. Some say no you don’t need to. Others yes you do. If you say which office you’re using then someone maybe able to tell you their policy.

It will be up to your local immigration office but most will want a new TM30 when returning from abroad. Some even want it if you spend one night in a hotel
