Jan 30, 2021

ORIGINAL POSTER

I am on a non-B extension. Currently registered (with yellow house book) in my wife's house.

If I permanently move to an apartment, would I be obliged to change my address with the immigration office? Or can I stay at my new apartment and keep my wife's house as my official address without canceling the house book registration?

TLDR : Answer Summary

They are inquiring whether they must update their address with the immigration office if they move to a new apartment while continuing to be registered at their wife's address. A commenter notes that a TM30 change of address must be filed within 24 hours if the user moves to a new location.

You or landlord are required to file a TM30 change of address within 24 hours of arrival at your apartment.

Are you still married?

if he wants to keep his current address, he has to file a tm30 for his stay at his new apartment...if he wants change his address to the new apartment, he has to file a tm28, is this right?

Were you able to sort out your Non B employment and Thai work permit you talked about in December?

sorry to hear that....yes you will have to file a new TM30 as you have a new address.

Does your job provide you with Thai work permit?

Or are you retired using the 400,000 annual extension of stay as married to Thai?
