ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
If you hold a 1-year retirement visa with a multiple re-entry permit, you are legally required to submit a new TM30 form each time you re-enter Thailand, regardless of whether your address remains the same. However, the strictness of this requirement can vary by immigration office; some may not require a new TM30 for the same address, while others may have policies demanding a new TM30 for any re-entry or even for travel within Thailand. It is advisable to check with your local immigration office for specific guidelines, and completing your TM30 online can simplify the process. Additionally, your landlord has legal responsibilities regarding TM30 notifications.
