ORIGINAL POSTER
Hello!

I have a 1-year retirement visa, a multi-reentry permit. Please tell me, when I return to Thailand, do I need to register with the immigration and a new TM30 form every time? My address does not change, I have a 1-year lease contract. Thank you!

TLDR : Answer Summary
When returning to Thailand with a retirement visa and a multi-reentry permit, a new TM30 form may be required depending on the policies of your local immigration office. Generally, the law requires it, but some offices may not. It's advisable to check with your specific local immigration authority for their requirements.

Completely depends on your immigration office. Most want a new TM30 every time you re-enter Thailand. Some even want a new TM30 every time you travel within Thailand. While some don't need a new one for either as long as you return to the same address.

By law yes, but some office policy only require a new TM30 if only a new address. Check with your local immigration office.
