ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The user is moving to Thailand on a Visa Exempt status and plans to apply for a retirement visa. They inquire about the necessity of having a TM30 within the first couple of weeks while seeking long-term rentals. Responses indicate that if the user stays in a hotel, the establishment will file the TM30 for them. If renting privately, the responsibility may fall on the property owner. Generally, it’s advised that a TM30 should be filed before going to immigration, but for initial weeks, it's manageable without one.
