Answer summary
The discussion revolves around the necessity of filing a TM30 form for foreigners staying with local Thai residents, specifically in the context of extending a visa. It is confirmed that if the girlfriend owns the property, she must register the TM30, ideally within 24 hours of the foreigner's arrival. Additional questions include the timing for applying for a 30-day extension, which can vary by immigration office, but many allow applications 30 days in advance. Key points also indicate that staying at hotels may automatically register the TM30, while staying with locals requires registration to inform immigration of the residence.

If you stay in hotel a tm30is done automatic if staying with locals should complete a tm 30 in 24 from arriving so immigration knows where you are staying,

YES! And the fact that you don't do it changes nothing. TM30 is mandatory. And when you come back from a weekend in a different province, say to a hotel or a friends house (btw they have to file too when you stay), you have to file again at your girlfriends house. Every time. But you are right, I didn't do it either... But that meant I didn't stay 30 days longer... I didn't want to risk the hassle and rejection.

If your girlfriend owns the house you are staying in then she must file the TM30. It’s the responsibility of the owner.
If you travel then each place you stay must file a TM30.

the 60 days visa-exempt entry is not a visa. It is just a 60 days stay permit stampNongnuch ********
@David **********

OP@David **********
yes..using passport

If staying at GF home you need to register (online) when you arrive. Then take passport 1900 Bhat and copies of passport page and arrival stamp. Although most immigration offices have photocopy shops. DM me if you want further help

It’s the house owner that should file the TM30 - technically within 24 hours of your arrival. You will probably need one filed to get your extension.
Depends on the immigration office you use as to how early you can apply. Some allow 45 days, most 30 days and a few only 7 days.
