TLDR : Answer Summary
When moving to a new location in Thailand, you are required to inform immigration about your change of address using a TM28 form within 24 hours of arrival. Some immigration offices may also require submission of a new TM30 form. It's advisable to report your change promptly to avoid potential fines, as there can be penalties for not reporting your address change on time.
90 DAY REPORTING RESOURCES / SERVICES
  • Use the trusted Thailand 90 Day Reporting Service to get your in-person report done and mailed to you for as low as 375 THB (even if the online system doesn't work for you).
  • For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
  • Join the Thai Visa Advice Facebook Group to ask your questions, and get advice from others.

I suggest you go to immigration at promenada (2nd floor) within 24hrs of your arrival. Even with a metv, I got fined 1600baht for not reporting my stay at a friends house!

Official you need to inform them within the 24 hours with a TM28 form (change of address), some Immigration offices also want a new TM30 form.

They guesthouse has to report you with Immigration, so you can wait till you find a more permanent address and than change your address.

I will be staying in a guesthouse for a few days until I find somewhere to live. Do I need to tell them I’m staying at a guesthouse or do I wait till I find a more permanent address.
