Do I need to inform immigration of my new address after my landlord submits the TM30?

Question

Good morning.  Oct. 1st.

Today begins my one year rental agreement in my "new" condo.  My new land-lord has agreed to go online and submit the T.M.30 today.

AND, I am wondering.  Since I have now official moved to a different residence than what immigration has in their files for me, shouldn't I make a trip over to the immigration office today and inform them of my new address?  (I was living in Nonthaburi and I am still living in Nonthaburi.)

Anyone have any idea what kind of forms that may be required?  Thanks in advance for your great advice.

The user inquired whether they needed to visit the immigration office to report their new address after their landlord submitted the TM30 form online. Community responses clarified that, since the landlord has submitted the TM30, it may not be necessary to inform immigration directly. Some users suggested requesting proof of the submission from the landlord, such as screenshots for personal records, while also mentioning that rules may vary by location in Thailand.

Why you think you can do better that your landlord? one report that you arrived at an address is enough.

OK,

Nonthaburi immigration said I did not need to do anything or submit any forms at this time. My landlord simply needs to do the TM30 which he graciously did for me today online.

If there's a full moon, and a high tide, go with the TM28 in Jomtien. If you're in Phuket, it's the exact opposite (excluding Wednesdays.)

Why would you need to go and report your new address if your landlord has agreed to do it for you? Go and unpack ffs!

In Phuket you used to report change of permanent address with a TM28.   Then more recently they were only interested in the TM30.  Now apparently in Phuket they want both a TM28 and a TM30.   So to be honest the requirements change quite often and as others have said also totally depends on how your immigration office decides to interpret the law that hasn’t actually changed since the 1970’s.

its arguable, in SOME offices you can file a TM28, others may want a TM30, and yeah the landlords is certainly a TM30

Richard ***** · Answer

If your landlord has actually done the TM30 online then ask him for a screenshot of the entry. Then ask him to search for your name and take another screenshot. This will act as proof that it has been done. There’s no need for you to go to the immigration unless you need a paper version of the TM30 for any reason.

It's best you ask your local immigration office as they may differ from others in Thailand.  That way you will know.
