What are the fines and requirements for not notifying residence in Thailand?

The discussion centers on fines imposed on foreigners in Thailand for failing to file the TM30 form, which is a requirement for notifying authorities of one’s residence. Posts reveal varying fine amounts, often noted as around 1600 to 4000 baht, with enforcement seemingly stricter in certain regions like Chonburi. Expat comments indicate that both landlords and tenants have responsibilities regarding the TM30, and many users question the necessity and implications of the form when entering or changing residence in Thailand. The conversation also clarifies the distinction between the TM30 and TM6 forms, with TM6 being filled upon entry and TM30 for residence notification within 24 hours.
