ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi, does anyone know if it is still necessary to report to immigration in Thailand every 30 days to let them know your address?

I entered Thailand on 14th March with a 3 month visa.

So it officially expired in a  few days....

But thankfully I got a retirement visa starting 12th June, so I can stay in Thailand until June 2021.

But I'm unclear due if I need to do a TM30 or if that has been suspended because for the Covid-19 situation.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquired about the necessity of reporting their address to Thai immigration every 30 days, specifically in relation to their upcoming retirement visa. A response clarified that a TM30 must be filed within 24 business hours after moving to a new accommodation, and emphasized the importance of adhering to the 90-day reporting requirements, which remain unchanged despite the Covid-19 situation.

A TM30 should be done no later than 24 hour business hours after you go to a place to stay. You can use one of the following programs to do the TM30:

Apple:

Android

Online:

If you do not file a TM30 within 24 business hours, you will have to pay a fine, which can be as high as 2,000 THB.

If you are referring to the 90 day report, those should be filed as normal. You should have a slip in your passport when the next 90 day report should be filed. You can use one of the following applications to submit a 90 day report:

Immigration web-portal;

Android eServices application;

iPhone eServices application;

For both the 90 day report and the TM30, the web based portal is the most stable.

The housemaster/guesthouse/hotel etc is required to register you as staying at their address. You must also report to immigration that you have returned home after an absence of more than 24 hours. In your passport will be stapled a slip telling you when your 90 day report is due.

So I understand that you I need to do this every time I change address? - And separately from that, is there still a requirement to do another three month immigration visit for all foreigners living in Thailand more than 3 months?

Yes. When you stay at a hotel, you can assume the hotel does it for you. When you return home, it is your responsibility to do it - UNLESS the local immigration office says you don't have to.

>, is there still a requirement to do another three month immigration visit for all foreigners living in Thailand more than 3 months

Yes, you have to do a 90 day report every 90 days
