Hi! We are entering Thailand on a Retirement Non O.

Do we need to go to the Immigration with our TM30 to register within 24 hrs? Thank you.
Answer summary
Upon entering Thailand on a Retirement Non O visa, it is essential for the landlord or hotel to register your stay via TM30 within 24 hours of your arrival. Although you are responsible for ensuring this registration, it is typically handled by your accommodation provider. If you arrive on a weekend when immigration offices are closed, you can visit the next working day, but you should be aware that the 24-hour window pertains to arrival at the property.

I am arriving on a Saturday and local immigration is closed on Saturdays and Sundays. So I and my wife that has a house will have to go on Monday for the TM30 registration. But it will be more than 24 hrs after the arrival…And the first TM30 after arrival to Thailand has to be in person. Or is it arrival to the property that sets the 24 hrs counter?

don't worry, the TM30 registration can be made personally on the Immigration on the next available working day after Immigration was closed. Take your wife with you, her Thai ID card, her blue housebook and your passport

No problems as my wife owns the house and land and she has a dark blue (house book) she is registered in and the local immigration is close by. I have done this before but has never arrived on a Saturday before.

Get her to set up an account online so that it's an easy task every time you return.

Make sure she even knows what the Blue Book is. If she lives in an apartment/house outside of her her place (that might be 100s kms away), she would not have it herself.

Then, you need the condo/house/complex owner to report your TM30.

Officially it’s the hotel or landlords or owners responsibility

Yes.. Everyone does. Officially the landlord or hotel should do it a'd can do it online. You will need it for your visa process and 90 day report.

Your landlord or hotel or homeowner needs to register you within 24hrs of your arrival at the property.
