Answer summary
The original poster is seeking guidance on how to register for immigration in Thailand due to their landlord's lack of knowledge regarding the TM30 form and registration in the house book. Comments from the community suggest ways to resolve the issue, including visiting the local immigration office with necessary documents (like a rental contract and landlord's ID) and potential new online registration options. Additionally, some emphasize the landlord's responsibility and the necessity of compliance with Thai immigration laws.

I'm glad he admitted he didn't know instead of just assuring you he knew and would handle everything

On another note maybe taking the landlord to lunch and then immigration with the appropriate paperwork would solve the problem.

also get your landlord's number. Sometimes they can talk straight to the owner/landlord of the building.

Agree with Billy Brown... Just go to Immigration office bring the Copy of your lease, photo copy of your landlord identification card. Immigration officer will help you 100℅.

Do you need to use Immigration services during your stay for and extension of stay or a 90 day report? If not don't worry.

TBF the OP isn't breaking the law, it's not his responsibility to register himself unless he owns his own property. Also if the landlord has never rented to a foreigner he most likely would not know about a TM30.

Same issue. Went to immigration told the situation. I had to bring copy ID landlord and copy blue book, not sure if the name is correct about last item. Landlord did sent it through Line and got a tm27 so i didnt get fined. I did my part... me happy... immigration happy... everyone happy

And you have made a schoolboy grammatical error in your response, Peter. It's 'you should HAVE... ', not 'should of'.Peter *******

@Mal *******
didn’t read his reply. There’s nothing he could say that would be of any interest to me. He was so rude and unnecessary in his response to the original poster. Hope the admins will take note and block him 🌺🇹🇭

Wow! I’m an elderly guy Peter. Should I be going back to Canada? 🙂 Seems to me you made a “rude school boy” comment to Annie. Maybe you should consider returning home to your country Peter. 🙂 Either that or start wearing some “big boy pants.”

If you have a rental contract you can file it yourself

@Harry *********
only some immigration offices will allow this as it's the responsibility of the property owner.

Ask your girlfriend to sort it out with him.
Allan ********
I’m guessing he doesn’t pay taxes so doesn’t want the paperwork linking the lease.

TM30 has been around for decades! He will know unless he lives under a stone, problem is u are both breaking the law! you need the tm30 for everything now! I suggest u go to immigration or move!

Seems like willful ignorance since it's much much easier for a Thai person to search for information on these things since all of the official sources are in Thai.
Here is the Thai Language user manual on the new TM30 system including a video.
