The TM30 form, which is a report of residence for foreigners in Thailand, is required for certain immigration processes but not for others. It may be necessary for obtaining in-country visas, extensions of stay, and residency certificates. However, it is generally not required for work permits, 90-day reports, or re-entry permits. It's advisable to check with the specific immigration office as requirements can vary by location.
