If you are on a retirement visa and leave Thailand for a few months, is there any reason to go to immigration in person upon your return? Our landlord/rental agency always updates our TM30 online whenever we’ve been away for short trips.
Answer summary
If you are on a retirement visa and leave Thailand for a few months, you do not need to visit immigration upon your return as long as your landlord updates your TM30. Your landlord or rental agency can file the TM30 online for you, and you only need to go to immigration when your 90-day report is due, which is 89 days after your latest entry into Thailand. Make sure your passport is ready for stamping upon re-entry.

Ah just asked a question re tm30 but this answers it I think, I guess the landlord updates for you when you re-enter then.

said! I did this not long ago. I would like to add, Be sure to have your passport open to your visa page, make sure they stamp you until the expiration of that visa in passport! Your 90 days starts again. Also very important that you get the TM30 on return into Thailand each time as mentioned already.

None at all as long as you come back to the prior address, I believe

Nope, if your landlord files a new TM30 on you when you come back into the country there is no need to show up at immigrations

You wouldn't need to go to immigrations until your 90 day report would be due (which is 89 days from the date you stamped in to thailand).
