ORIGINAL POSTER

TM-30 question. Our condo lease is about to renew, and the leasing office is asking if we want them to file our TM-30 on our behalf (for a fee of course). But I thought we didn't need to submit a new one to immigration unless we move or leave. Do you know if immigration will need a new one on file after our lease renews? Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary

When renewing a lease in Thailand, a new TM-30 is generally not required unless you change your address. Immigration typically requires a TM-30 submission only when moving to a new property or after returning from an overseas trip. However, it's advisable to confirm the local immigration office's policies regarding TM-30 requirements.

When I renewed my lease last year the Rental Agency advised me to go to Immigration. When I went the girl at the TM30 desk told me that there is no need to report because my address hasn't changed. This was in Chiang Mai.

A TM30 must be submitted no later then 24 business hours after you start staying at the property. You will *NOT* need a new TM30 if you renew your lease. You *MAY* need a new TM30 if you stay at a hotel room, and then return to your condo (depending on the local immigration office).

Filing a TM30 is free.

Ask your local immigration office about their policy on filing a TM30 after you return from a trip. For Bangkok, they only want a TM30 filed after you return to Thailand from being overseas (if I remember correctly).
