Do I need to submit a TM30 form when returning to my Bangkok condo after domestic travel?

ORIGINAL POSTER
We recently leased a condo for 1 year in BKK, and are coming back from a week long trip to Chiang Mai. Do we have to get a TM30 filled out for coming back to our BKK apartment? Does the landlord have to do it or can we do it ourselves online? Or is a new TM30 only required if returning from out of the country? Not required if coming back from domestic travel? I’ve searched the group but haven’t got a clear answer, hope someone can help!

TLDR : Answer Summary
When returning to Bangkok from Chiang Mai, a TM30 form is generally not required if your condo is your registered residence and does not have a null or expired check-out date. However, if your stay in Chiang Mai involved hotel accommodations, it is likely you need to fill out a new TM30 due to the hotel registering your presence with immigration. It’s best to confirm with your landlord for assistance or check with your local immigration office for any specific requirements.

Your in Bangkok so have a word with your landlord and arrange for them to do the tm30 for you, also if the landlord is happy for you to do that then please ask him for the paperwork and the password to do it yourself

By law (2020) you do not have to re-register a tm30 if you are returning to a location within the check-in period of that location. So if your main address is registered with a null checkout date or a date still in the future, then there is no legal obligation to re-register. However, if you need to visit the immigration office for some reason, certain offices require a new TM30 after either/or international/domestic travel. I use CW and do a lot of domestic travel and still utilizing my original tm30.

Did your accommodation in Chiang Mai file a TM30 (they are supposed to)? If so, that is the last place the immigration know you are residing at. I think a new TM30 is required.

As others have said, check with your immigration office... but if you stayed at an hotel in Chiang Mai, I'm pretty sure you need to make a new one, since the hotel would have done one when you stayed there and that voids your previous one, meaning that you are now registered as being in Chiang Mai in the Immigration system.

Not required. The condo is your permanent place if residence

Does your original TM 30 show the expiration date or move out date if it's 1 year Move out date then I would say you do not need a revised tm 30

TM30 does not show an expiration date, but your local immigration office may require you to do a new one when returning from a trip inside of Thailand. Always best to check on your local requirements.
