Do We Need to Refile TM30 After Leaving Thailand and Returning on a Visa Exempt?

Question

Hi All, I've tried to search through the forum here but can't find a definite answer to my question.  My husband and I are staying in Chiang Mai for 4 months.  We arrived on 30 day visa exempt and then extended.  We are staying in a condo in CM.  We went to Mae Sai border yesterday to get an additional visa exempt 30 days.  When we first arrived our landlord filed the TM30 for us, now that we have left the country and come back (we are still in the same condo) do we need to file again?  Our landlord is in Canada for 3 months and she said we will need to do this if we leave the country.  Is that true, if so how do we go about it, and what documents do we need to bring to file ourselves instead of our landlord.  Thanks very much in advance!!

The user is inquiring whether they need to refile the TM30 report after returning to Thailand from a border run while staying at the same condo. The responses indicate that they should report their reentry within 24 hours and can do so at the Chiang Mai immigration office by showing their passport with the previous TM30. It was noted that the TM30 section operates 7 days a week.

And you need to do this within 24 hours after arriving. Be aware that the office in Chang Mai is open during weekends for this report.

If you have your prior TM30 in your passport, go to CM immigration, 3rd floor for TM30 reporting. When it is your turn, just hand over your passport, showing the TM30 and explain you just reentered Thailand. They will stamp the same TM30 to note you reported on this date. Usually takes 5-10 minutes unless many people, which is not likely.

Should be reported within 24 hours, but a reputable visa agency recently indicated they are not so strict now.
