I'm heading to Laos next month for a new TR visa. I have already reported my address at Pattaya immigration as I'm living with a friend there. Upon re-entering Thailand, do I or my friend have to inform immigration that I'm still living there? How does this TM30 B.S actually work?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The TM30 reporting requirement mandates that landlords or property owners inform immigration whenever a foreigner resides at their property. As you are living with a friend in Pattaya, your friend must notify immigration of your address upon your re-entry into Thailand. It is essential to ensure this notification is completed to avoid any potential legal issues related to your residence status.
