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

Only arrival card and tm 30

Departure card doesnt ask for an adress.

Mint KW Thanks. When I arrived on visa exempt I got my departure card, that one i will take with me. (arrival part they take away right?)

Best to fill in my currenct address (it is not registered)

Or the hotel-addess i last registered on? Or those addresses doesnt even matter?

Wife had to update it before i collected it or no extension.

. True. I nearly got denied a non O spouse extension because my wife "forgot" to update a tm30..

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

Ok, thanks! The address on my arrival card is different (because I thought I would be staying there, but they didnt have place) then the Hotel I stayed at, is that still ok? Best to fill in the hotel I stayed at 2 weeks ago?

Maybe before submitting, I will try to see if there is a counter for questions.

I wouldnt use it always found best thing when dealing with any official police immigration etc is tell the truth. Lies have a way of unfolding

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.
