When filling out the TM30 form for notification of change of residence is the TM30 proxy form signed by the owner of the residence still required in addition to the TM30?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The TM30 form is used by property owners to notify Thai immigration about a foreigner's residence. It's essential to check with the local immigration office, as requirements may vary; some allow self-filing for the TM30, like in Bangkok. It is unclear if the TM30 proxy form is necessary, as comments indicate unfamiliarity with it.

Since I have no idea what a "TM30 Proxy Form" is, and the OP isn't sharing what that form is, I'm closing comments.

Good luck!

A TM30 is used by the possessor of the property to inform Thai immigration where a foreigner is staying. Different immigration offices have different policies when it comes to requiring the TM30 to be filled out and submitted. *SOME* immigration offices allow self filing (I *KNOW* Bangkok does), and some don't.

The property owner, if they are in Thailand, can submit the TM30 online using the TM30 online system.

I know what the proxy form is. I am asking has anyone ever had to do one? I'm just doing diligence before I submit my TM30 when I move. My research shows it is rarely asked for.

I do not know what the website is. But, I know for a fact individuals in BANGKOK can self-file a TM30:

REPOST: Self File TM-30 BANGKOK ONLY.

This is the way you need to fill out the TM30 form if you are filing with NO documentation from your land lord

Your name goes at the top of the form, your address goes under it, then your address AGAIN as the address where the foreigner lives.

In the blank area at the bottom left hand side of the piece that they will tear off and give back to you write your address again.

On the second page (the table) put all your information.

You sign BOTH forms on the signature lines. Print the forms correctly. the first page is portrait orientation and second page is landscape orientation :O

Make copies of;

-lease

-data page of your passport

-visa (if you have one)

-extension (if you have one)

-entry stamp

-TM6 departure card

sign the copies of your passport stuff.

This is a way to file a TM30 in BANGKOK without any information from your land lord at all. <- (meaning you don't need their i/d, their house book listing, a power of attorney form with the 10 baht in tax stamps).

AFAIK: this ONLY works in Bangkok but I can say with 100% accuracy that it does work (y)
