TLDR : Answer Summary

After arriving in Thailand on a NON-O visa, you need to report to an immigration office within 24 hours to fill out the TM30 form, which is necessary for any service with Thai Immigration. This requirement usually falls on the landlord or property owner, who must accompany you to the immigration office.

Within 24 hours after arrival, Immigration office for filling the TM30 form. Wherever you might be staying they have to fill it with Immigration (landlord, your wife, hotel, AirBnB, whoever owns the premises). NOT you, THEY must do it.

Edit: in the sticks, they would not even know what you are talking about. Whover in that place owns the "Blue Book" has to go Immigration with you, the next day, with their Thai ID and sign you in for the TM30.

TM30 is needed if you would come to Thai Immigration for any service.

If not, just ignore it.

I assume you mean a Non-O visa? That gets you stamped in for 90 days and at most offices you go and get an extension of stay when you have 30 days or less left on your entry stamp, some offices are 45 days. But bear in mind that you also require funds in a Thai bank account for 2 full calendar months before you apply for that extension.

Do we need to register with the Immigration using TM30 within 24 hours after arriving on a Retirement Non O visa in Thailand?
