Do I need to report my new address within 24h to immigration when I move to another city in Thailand?

I m on a retirement visa currently.

Thank you for your advice

Answer summary

Yes, when you move to another city in Thailand, you are required to report your new address to immigration. Specifically, you or your landlord must file a TM 30 form (notification of Foreigner in residence) at the local immigration office. While there, it's advisable to inquire whether a TM 28 form (change of address) is also needed. This process will also assist you with your 90-day reporting and any future visa extensions.

Well, if that's where you're going to live, you or your landlord need to go to that immigration office and file a TM 30 (notification of Foreigner in residence), and while you're there you need to ask them if that office also requires a TM 28 (change of address).

Once you get those filed you should be able to do your 90-day reporting and your subsequent extensions at that office.
