Hi everybody. I now have some concerns about TM30 that I never have had before.
I guess that the majority of tourists entering Thailand on a 30 day visa exempt will stay in a prebooked hotel, often with the entire holiday arranged by a travel agency.
But a vast number of people today will arrive after having arranged their holiday by themselves. They have booked and paid for a privately owned condo through the owner himself, Airbnb, HomeAway etc. They will most likely bring a copy of the lease contract, but the owner of the condo will very often be far away in his home country. All the condominiums I've stayed in have had an office where you show your passport and get the keys, maybe arrange the cleaning while you are there and so on. Are these offices responsible for registration to Immigration, or do you have to go file a TM30 yourself.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user inquires about the TM30 registration process for tourists in Thailand staying in privately rented condos. They question whether the offices managing these properties are responsible for the registration, considering that the property owners may not be physically present in the country.
