Do I need to notify my landlord to update my TM30 each time I return to Thailand?

@Siggi ******

You don't have the faintest idea about what you are talking, better keep your big mouth shut here.

@Luit ****************

you are just a stupid person with no knowledge about Thai immigration. I ade more that 159 residence certificates in the last 13 years, travelled 50 times in an out Thailand and I doing tm30 for customers. If you have a permanent address in Thailand tm30 does not have to be updated. And it's not the responsibility of the foreigner to do his own tm30.

@Siggi ******

Poor customers! I don't know how customers can choose an ldiot who calls others just stupid. Why should a foreigner not be responsible for TM30 when he owns the property. You just don't know what you're talking about again, so better stop talikin BS here.

How do you make residence certificates, that is an immigration job.

And why that silly sentence more than 159? Does that mean you cannot count any futher than 159? 5555

@Pete ******

So you don't know? Then the best advise to prevent problems is just register again every time you spend a night somewhere else.

@Luit ****************

I do know which is why I posted what I did. It is obvious you don’t as you continue to make inaccurate statements.

@Pete ******

I just ask you kindly how I can tell immigration what is my home address and how they can distinguish this. I don't believe this is somewhere in the law, but only a practice at some offices.

Your answer is just not helpful, you tell you know how it works, but just want to keep this info for yourself, and even accuse me of inaccurate statements while I am only asking something.

@Luit ****************

so I take it you’ve done no research on the legal requirements for a TM30 report, the details are published and available to anyone who wishes to look.

@Pete ******

From the official info I only see that every time you change address you should do a new TM30 report, but your story is a bit different and it seems some immigration offices have indeed slightly different rules.

You seem to know exactly what are those rules , but just don't want to answer questions, but only ask to do own research.

When everybody here had the same attitude here like you, no questions would be answered at all.

Why are you here? Just to critisize others don't do their own research?

But doing more research myself is a waste of time since doing TM30 reporting is just done within a minute, so I do always when we were not at our house for a night.

@Luit ****************

do I really need to spoon feed you like a baby....

“The Royal Thai Police has recently issued the new Regulation which provides some Expats’ relief on the requirement of TM30 reporting, as well as for property owners (i.e., house-master, owners or lessors of a residence) and hotel managers in Thailand. The new Regulation was published in the Government Gazette on 16 June 2020 and it has been effective from 30 June 2020 onwards.

According to the new Regulation, property owners and hotel managers are required to submit TM30 report only for the first time when the foreigner arrives at their premises. It is no longer required to repeatedly submit TM30 reports every time when a foreigner travels out of the country or temporary stays in other premises (i.e., no need to re-report upon returns to stay in the same premises within the check-in period, rental period, or within the period of their re-entry permit).

Prior to this new Regulation, when a foreigner left Thailand or temporarily stayed overnight in another place, a TM30 report needed to be re-submitted every time, within 24 hours as from the foreigner’s return from a trip back to stay in the same premises.”

A badly written article on the revision to Section 38 of the 1979 Immigration Act but you get the drift.....

@Pete ******

Thank you for this reply, but still my quwestion is how can I tell immigration what is my home address? I did not see any option where I can specify this, but that just might be my fault.

Am I correct that in case I arrive, stay in a hotel in Bangkok for a few nights, then travel to our house, make some travelling around and in the end stay at the same hotel again, the hotel owner in Bankok only have to file TM 30 once, I have to file TM30 when I arrive in our house, and hotel owners during our traveling also have to file once, even when we stay more than once at the same hotel?

@Luit ****************

One time only TM30 report per address, per permitted to stay stamp.

@Pete ******

So Immigration does not know where I am at any moment? It can be at several locations?

But I guess a hotel has to end the TM30 when you check-out, so a second TM30 might be needed when you check in again later.

@Luit ****************

TM30 reports have “from and “to” data fields.

@Pete ******

I know, but the "to" is optional.

@Luit ****************

the “to” date if left blank becomes the date until which you are permitted to stay.

@Pete ******

So this is the answer to my question? When I leave the "to" date blank, my home address is default till I have to leave the country? I suppose hotels will always fill in end date before or at check out time.

@Luit ****************

correct, on a DTV when you exit the country you have to file a new TM30 on your return which will then be valid for that address for the 6 months of your new stamp.

@Pete ******

I only can find each stay different from previous needs new filing of TM30, hence my question how Immigration can know where you return to, I did not see options to tell what is your default stay.

@Duncan ******

totally agree, that's why I asked about the office they were using.

@Hey *********

you need to find out what their policy is, contact them or get info from a local Facebook group familiar with recent policy.
