Is the TM30 form only required for visa renewals and not for tourists in Thailand?
TM30 - being told by an owner that it is only for visa renewals - not for tourists (short or long stay)…. true or not?
Answer summary
The claim that the TM30 form is only required for visa renewals is false. Every foreigner in Thailand is obliged to submit a TM30 form, regardless of their visa status. While it's more commonly required for certain immigration processes, the possibility of being checked by the police exists for all foreigners, including tourists.

Not true. As a rule, every single foreigner has to be submitted TM30.
usually, you need TM30 when you have to do something at Immigration office, not only "visa renewal" or extension application. Still the possibility you being checked by the police by chance is not zero.
