TLDR : Answer Summary
The TM30 and TDAC are different processes in Thailand. If you have a Digital Visa (DTV), you must file a TM30 within 24 hours of arriving at your new residence. Additionally, you should complete the TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) for each entry into Thailand. The responsibility for filing the TM30 typically lies with the accommodation owner, but it can become your issue if they fail to do so. The TDAC will not substitute the need for a TM30.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be tdac.in.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

TDAC and TM30 completely different. Need to do TDAC each entry plus TM30 within 24 hours of arriving at new accommodation.

with the DTV you will need TDAC, TM30, TM47 (90day report).

The TM47 90 days reporting. Being online. Can this online form be used the first time a 90 day report is carried out. Or does the first time of asking. Have to be in person at a immigration centre.

@George’s ******************************
usualy in person. so basically all 90 day reports in person unless you extend for another 180 days. then you might get 2 online TM47 done… but extension requires all documents again + more. with a fresh date, etc..

It is the responsibility of the owner of the place you stay to register a TM30 but if they don't and need to interact with immigration etc it becomes your problem

TDAC has nothing to do with TM30 or with anything else. Don't even consider it when you are thinking about anything. Pretend it doesn't exist. You still have to do all legally required immigration activities.
