TM30 question for Bangkok. If you travel to Chiang Mai for a week, upon return to your rented apartment in BKK are you required to do another TM30?
Answer summary
When traveling domestically within Thailand, such as from Bangkok to Chiang Mai, it is generally advisable to submit a new TM30 upon returning to Bangkok. The requirement may vary depending on local immigration office policies. If you stayed at a place that submitted a TM30 for your accommodation during your trip, you might not need to refile. However, if your residence in Bangkok is under a different TM30, it typically needs to be updated. There have been instances where some expats report no issues without refiling, highlighting the inconsistency in enforcement.

When I travel, I put the motel in my Thai wife’s name. If the motel does a tm30 in my name then I have to refile my tm30 when I get home

"You need to check with YOUR immigration office when you get back

Some require you to file a new TM30 for domestic travel when you come back

Some require you to only file when you come in from abroad

Some require you to file only once and then not after that even if you travel"

What is the process of submitting a new TM30 upon eeturning to one's Bkk residence from a trip to elsewhere in Thailand? If staying with friends or family who don't bother to file a TM30 while you're visiting, it isn't necessary to have another one filed upon returning to Bkk home base, correct?

A variable in play would be did you stay anywhere that would have submitted a TM30 for you?

Remember the TM30 isn’t your job, it’s the property holders job to report you.

well isn’t it more accurately, you need to figure out how to get it done if they don’t/won’t because most things we need to do, we need it? Technically it’s still their job, they are required to do it, we are forced to need it. 🤗

regardless….you are responsible for it if they don’t do it.

Yes, you’ll need to update your TM.30 in Bangkok as you’re (should be) registered on another TM.30 (Chiang Mai) at date.

If you leave the country and re-enter to the same address, several immigrations don’t require any update.

Does CW require an update if you return from abroad to where you are already registered?
