If I’m in a rental condo on a 1 year lease does the condo owner need to do a new TM30 if I pop out of the country for a few days?

TLDR : Answer Summary
When leaving Thailand for a few days while under a rental lease, it is typically the responsibility of the tenant to ensure their address is reported. The requirement for the condo owner to file a new TM30 may vary depending on the office handling immigration matters, as some may enforce this rule more strictly than others.

Sorry you’re address

If you leave the kingdom it is your responsibility to report your current account

That’s going to be specific to the office you use. Some will require it, some don’t seem to care. If you specify what office others may be able to advise their policy.

Can I chime in here with an additional question?

Who will fine me if I don't make TM30 after I re-entry?

The immigration at the airport?

The immigration at the old address?

Or the immigration at the new address (maybe in another province)?

When will I be fined?

When I visit the immigration for any reason or only when I do the 90-day notification?

Thank you.

In theory it’s the house owner that needs to file the TM30. In practice it is you that would be fined for not having one. If you have no need for interaction with immigration then you probably wouldn’t need one.

If you need an extension then you probably will.

Office dependant on whether they’d actual need one from the first 24 hours of returning or just that actually have one filed.

I know the policy for Phuket. I’m not sure of Chaengwattana. I’ll let others advise.
