Do I need to update my TM 30 form after a trip to Koh Phangan while on an ED visa in Chiang Mai?

Dode Keates I meant no disrespect, I've made the mistake of taking someone's location at face value and was wrong with my advice. Many people just set their profile to Bangkok but don't really live in the city.

But at least now you know you don't need to fool with a TM.30 when you return from overseas :)

Dode Keates if your profile is to be believed and you you indeed live in Bangkok you don't need to worry. At this time the Bangkok immigration office does NOT care if you or your landlord has ever filed a TM.30 form.

No, it was not personal. But just to inform, in most of these topics I read: The Landlord or House owner has to do this. Sometimes even followed by it is not your problem. I just try to make things clear.

Don't blame the landlord or house owner. If you rent a private address Immigration sees you as the House master, so you are also responsible for filing the TM30 24 hours after arrivat. But when nobody does, nobody cares, till you walk in at Immigration Office for an Extension of Stay, Certificate of Residence, 90 day report etc. If your Immigration office is hard core, the check if the address is reported, if not you have 2 options: Pay the fine, mostly 1.600 Thb and get want you need afterwards or keep on telling it is not your responsibility and stay empty handed.

be careful of repercussions tho, if it's not done some people have apparently had problems with other stuff like 90 day reports n what not.

I was at Chumphon immigration today and heard on officer say something like that, I didn't ask but the person enquiring repeatedly asked and was told 'only if you go home, when you come back you do' or something along them lines(I think it was a Chinese person asking and the spoken English was poor from both her and the official). Either way if you have to or not it is the requirement of the landlord and their fine not yours.

they file it online, they don't even get a proof of acceptance or anything it just shows they filled in the information. There is no receipt or anything.
