Do landlords need to update TM30 every time tenants leave their residence in Thailand?

Question

90 day reporting question

Last week I submitted an online application ( my first ever )

My normal address is a condo hotel in CM and I have reported the last 3 times in person 
My online application was rejected ,reason being that I had stayed one night at a hotel in Bkk in September

Many other times I have stayed at hotels outside CM province (and my landlord does not update that I have left and returned ) and it hasn’t mattered when I do a 90 day report 
Do landlords need to update everytime  tenants go away ??

This week I’m in Phuket - my 90 day report is due 6 Dec ( and I won’t be back in CM before 13 Dec )

So I guess I will need to report in Person at Phuket ( with my current hotels address etc ) ???

The user is inquiring about the necessity for landlords to file a TM30 report whenever tenants leave their residence, based on their experience with reporting in Thailand. They mention complications faced when their online application for a 90-day report was rejected due to a hotel stay in Bangkok. Answers from the community clarify that yes, landlords are required to file a TM30 each time a tenant stays elsewhere overnight, although this rule has not always been strictly enforced. Hotels are now responsible for filing TM30 reports as well, which simplifies the process for expats.

So you must get a TM 30 each time you are away? Even overnight. From the landlord of the condo?

Stephen ******* · Answer

Yes . This was always the rule but never enforced. Now checking and enforcing the tm 30 for any time, every single night. If you sleep some where else you must get landlord to do new tm 30. If do not stay in your usual residence, say you stay with friends or family overnight if they not bother to do a tm 30 then no one knows the difference .

But hotels will do a tm 30 now. Every time.

So when you return to your usual residence after a hotel stay , ALWAYS ask landlord to d0 a new tm 30

If you have a vehicle of some sort (car, motorcycle, etc.) consider using the drive-through at Phuket Town immigration.  Very quick, pleasant service.  Otherwise, you can do a report in person at either Patong immigration or Blue Tree (if staying in the north of the island).

You dont need to report if you arrange a hotel on report date, hotel reports for you.

Brandon ************ · Answer

Many offices have changed their TM30 policies with the arrival of the new TM47 and TM30 systems.

You're correct in that you'll be doing this 90 day report in Phuket since that's where you are. When you return to Chiang Mai do a new TM30 and then visit immigration and ask them their policy for clarification.
