Do I need to submit TM30 documents each time I arrive in Thailand if I stay at the same address?

Question

TM30 question

Each time I arrive in Thailand I visit immigration (Jomtien) within 24 hours to file a TM30. I'm always at the same address (my condo, I'm the owner) therefore am I supposed to photocopy every single document again (chanote, house book etc..) each time OR is there a way to simply update the TM30 slip in my passport? Of course little changes from my side, apart from TM6 arrival card number. Many thanks in advance.

The TM30 reporting process seems inconsistent across various immigration offices in Thailand. At Jomtien, it's reported that you must file the TM30 each time with accompanying documents like the chanote and house book, even if your address remains the same. However, other locations like Rayong and Chiang Mai have varying practices, where some officers may not require repeated documentation if you're at the same address. A suggestion was made to inquire about online registration options to simplify future submissions.

Pattaya/Jomtien is the only office where nobody understand the TM 30 rules. That office change indeed on a daily bases on depending on officer. How it works in other Immigration Offices country wide has nothing to do with the office in Pattaya. Sorry, to tell you but the only way is to report again and again and again. Or ask to be registered for the on-line registration, so you can do this from home.

According to them i asked them 1 week ago you can be 3 days late but again... can you? No they do not want all again they do not need the contract and things for me they just took the passport copy and owner ID.

In Chiang Mai you take your passport with TM30 receipt and TM6 and they date stamp the receipt and update arrival card no. In their system.  Jomtien may be different.
