It depends on what your immigration office requires, some require a fresh TM30 for even a 1 night stay in a hotel, others only after a trip outside Thailand. You need to ask them

Vaughn Chambers legally your landlord is supposed to check you out and in. Requirements by immigration seems to be just wanting a recent TM30 when you need something. My landlord did submit a new one when we returned from visiting family in Sa Kaeo two weeks ago. One hotel copied my passport but I saw her copy an expired stamp and didn't want something that looked like an overstay, so I showed her the correct stamp to use and report.
