Should I accept a TM30 filing from a hotel branch different from my actual location in Phuket?

TM30 Phuket hotel regulations 90 days report expat advice visa immigration

ORIGINAL POSTER

I checked in a small hotel in Phuket (Patong), and they filed TM30 and gave me screenshot, but at the moment they can only record the TM30 in another branch of the hotel, a bigger branch in Rawai (which I visited, and exists).

So I will basically stay in a small branch 1

20km far away from their main resort but my TM30 is recorded with the address of the main resort. 

They said they normally do this, because its the same chain of the hotel, under the same management.

Do you think I should accept this?

Also, next month I will need to do my 90 days report, so what should I write?

My actual address where I have the unit?

Or the address where they recorded the TM30?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is staying at a smaller hotel branch in Patong, Phuket, where their TM30 filing is recorded with the address of a larger branch in Rawai. They are questioning whether to accept this arrangement and how to report their address for the upcoming 90-day report, seeking advice about the implications of the TM30 filing and reporting process.

You could not accept it and move to the main hotel 🤷‍♂️

well, the small hotel is in Patong, which is the area I want to stay 😊

I don't understand why at the moment they can't do TM30 for that, it's even a SHAplus and it's on agoda.

As long as you get registered - it ticks the box for immigration (who i wouldn’t waste time trying to explain the story to)

As long as they give you a receipt or a screenshot that they filed the TM30, you're fine. Hotels normally use the the online TM30 system, but it doesn't always work. Ask the for a screenshot.

they gave me the screenshot... But they recorded my presence in the main resort in Rawai, instead Im living in a unit located in another small hotel of the same group, but located in Patong 20 km away.

That's the point...

They said that both hotels are under the same management, and I should not be worried about that.

It doesn't matter. If you stay in the same province, technically you don't even need to update your TM30.
