Is there an end date on TM30 at a hotel? If filing for a visa extension and have been travelling and staying at friends house. Can just use the address of the hotel stayed at weeks ago? (New place cant help right now.)

TLDR : Answer Summary
The TM30 reporting from hotels is effective until your last day of stay at that hotel. If you apply for a visa extension, using the address of a hotel where you stayed weeks ago might raise questions, especially if you have not been residing there continuously. It’s advised to ensure that your residency information is up-to-date and accurate to avoid complications with your visa extension application.

As the others said, won't be an issue, the tm6 on you filled out is fine, I have been here for 4 years and have never needed to get a tm30 reported on my behalf, also no issues with extensions, just keep that white arrival card, well actually that gets filed, so keep the departure card

Honestly it should be fine, immigration is more after people on retirement/marriage visas who forget to report correct address

Thanks.

- Do you mean they submit everybody every day again if people stay longer every night? That would mean I cant do it?

- So its ok to use it?

They might ask you if youve been staying at that hotel the whole time. If they check, probably wont, you may get denied an extension.
