ORIGINAL POSTER

Im currently in Nakhon Ratchasima after arriving by air into Suvarnabhumi BKK. I’m on a french passport with a 30day visa exemption stamp.

 I’m staying at my wife/‘my’ house. 

A friend as said I should be registered with the Local immigration office ? As a foreigner staying in a Thai house. 

Can’t find any info on this as most is relating to resident visas.

Can anyone clear this up for me ?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The poster, holding a French passport with a 30-day visa exemption, inquired about the requirement to register with the local immigration office while staying at their wife's house in Thailand. Responses clarified that foreigners must comply with section 38 by registering their stay via the TM30 form, which can be done by their spouse at the local immigration office.

I believe that the OP has the correct answer for his question.

Yes, every foreigner has to be submitted with TM30 based on "section 38".

Let your wife register her address on the system, then report your stay.
