TLDR : Answer Summary

Upon entering Thailand, the TM30 form must be completed to report your address, but it is the responsibility of the property owner or landlord, not the tenant or guest. This needs to be done within 24 hours of your arrival at your accommodation. If you're returning to a property you own after a short absence, you typically do not need to file a new TM30.

Go safe, make a new TM30, everytime.

It wont take longer than making this post.

Or ask at the Immigration, they are the only ones that can give you a precise answer.

You don't. The place you stay is responsible for reporting you

My understanding is, if you own the property and left Thailand for a short time then no,because you already have a TM30 and you're returning to the same address.

I did not do it in Jomtien as a tenant. However, my pal owns a condo and goes down and does it and they do not send him away. I went down once as a tenant and they chased me saying "No need, same address" 🙂 I have moved to Chiang Mai and they need it 100% - luckily my agent does it. Just need to message on "Line" and I get the PDF soon after.

The TM30 has to be completed within 24 hours of you arriving at accommodation. The landlord or owner of the property has to do this. Not the tenant of guest. They do this online

Anonymous participant I am pretty sure you can. If you can do it for tenants online why not yourself?
