How do I use the online TM30 system to file my address in Thailand and obtain proof of filing?
With the online TM30 system there is now the ability to produce a pdf of your filing. You file your information and then search for the date you filed it (it only allows searches for 7 days prior - so if you did one a while back just do another filing today).
Once you have searched for your filing and have the details showing click on the zoom tool to bring up a full page listing. Then choose the option to “Export”. This will create a pop up window with a pdf that you can then print as proof of filing.

Answer summary
The online TM30 system allows users to file their address registration and obtain a PDF proof of filing. To do this, file your information online and search for your filing using the system, which retains records for only the last 7 days. Once located, view the details and select the ‘Export’ option to create a PDF. Discussions around the responsibilities of landlords and tenants for filing TM30s show that while landlords are obligated to register foreign occupants, tenants can do it themselves if they have the necessary documents from their landlords.

Sure, it is instructive, thank you for that.
But does anyone realize the unessential purpose of this administrative document? It is as frivolous as the 90 days report.

3. Copy of ID card of person giving authorization person So what can i do now?

I’m not sure the yellow book has significance for this. Perhaps a copy of the chanote land title (front and back) that confirms you as the owner of the property may help. Otherwise probably best to go to your local immigration office and ask them what they require.Pat *****
Ok thanks but the thing was I want to register online, to not have to go to immigration. I should also say I never did a TM30 and never had a problem at Hua Hin immigration.

OP@Pat ****
Depends on what interaction you need with immigration. Some offices like Phuket (and perhaps HH) do not need one for a short term extension off a tourist visa or exempt entry. For other extensions it’s almost certainly needed.

The system they need is to let me bring up the TM30 that the juristic office submitted for me. Getting the juristic office to provide a TM30 receipt in a timely manner was (for me at least) a bit painful.

What is a TM30 and what is its purpose?
Stuart *********
OP@Duke ******
it’s a legal requirement to register every foreigner as to their whereabouts within 24 hours of their arrival. Usually it’s your hotel or landlord that files it. But sometimes they won’t and you have to do it yourself.Chris ************
@Stuart ********
If someone stays at his girlfriends house that he rented for her - who has to report the tm30? -The landlord
-or the girlfriend, if the rent contract is on her name...
-...or himself if the rent contract is on his name?
Chris ************
@Stuart ********
Got it. Thanks Stuart.Stuart *********
OP@Chris ***********
It’s the house owners who are technically responsible, but sometimes they won’t or can’t. They it gets a bit of a grey area as to who files but generally as long as there is a rental contract for the property your girlfriend should be able to file for you.

Hi How can you check if your establishment, accommodation or landlord filed your TM30
Stuart *********
OP@Charmaine *********
you ask them for a print out of the filingAndy ********
My condo always register me. If I create a profile am I able to log in and see my TM30 that was registered by the Condo. Im worried if I create my own account it will duplicate or delete my current TM30.

@Andy *******
if your condo registered you more than seven days ago it is not retrievable from this new system by design.Andy ********
@George ************
okay, thank you 👍

@Rene *****
screenshot still works.Stuart *********
OP@Rene *****
yes
Terry **********
Thanks. I will give it a try
Jessica ******
Is this still only for the Landlord to do or we can file on behalf of ourselves? 🙏🏻
Stuart *********
OP@Jess **************
Technically it’s the landlords responsibility, but if you have a copy of their ID and Blue book (Tabien Baan) you can register yourself and file away.

Thats not ok its unlegalAake **********
@Stuart ********
Of course, it is illegal to use another person's data for registration with imigration. If the counterfeit is discovered, it will be a big problem for youStuart *********
OP@Aake *********
As I mentioned earlier I am not a lawyer so I won’t comment on legalities. However many landlords refuse or just can’t be bothered to file a TM30 for a foreigner staying at their property. That I believe is illegal. As the foreigner that needs interaction with immigration then you must self file. You can do it manually at an immigration office (you will need documentation from the property owner to do so and possibly a power of attorney signed by them) or you can use the online system providing they have given you their ID and Tabien baan. You are not pretending to be them. You are using the system to register an address and stating that you are living/staying there.Jessica ******
@Stuart ********
Ah okay thanks. I usually go sit with Uncle and help him take a screenshot. 😂
Incognia **********
@Stuart ********
actually i have but if i make this myself instead of him does he have right to sue me about this in the future because i used his Id card without his permission?Because i am bored when i enter to Thailand and go to the immigration early morning.Incognia **********
@Stuart ********
in my apartment there are old retirement visa foreigners.But i dont know how they use Tm30.But i stay long time in this building.Maybe i should talk to owner and he registers himself better.But if i register it with my mail in the future if he wants to register what i will do?He needs my passwords.And cant enter to the system without my permission for report other people's Tm30 hahaStuart *********
OP@Stelar ******
really can’t see where there would be a case for suing you. You’re filing that you are staying at their residence. However I am not a lawyer and cannot offer legal advice.
