Hi admins. I need your help about notification on changing address. I originally came from Phuket then moved to Nakhon Pathom in august. New landlord filed online for my notification of residence in Nakhon Pathom in August. Then in Oct 7 I went to Nakhon Pathom immigration to do 90 day report. My next report is Jan 4, 2021 but I will be moving to a new place in BKK this Friday. I have informed my new landlord in BKK about this but they dont have any experience on reporting. Questions are:

1. When should I go in and report my residence?

2. What forms do I need? Ive read about TM28 but im confused.

3. What requirements do I ask from my landlord?

TIA.

For Bangkok, much more is needed. you'll need:

-lease

-data page of your passport

-visa (if you have one)

-extension (if you have one)

-entry stamp

-TM6 departure card

sign the copies of your passport stuff.

Your 90 day report and the TM30 are completely different concepts. You must file your 90 day report every 90 consecutive days you are in Thailand. A TM30 *MAY BE* filed no later than 24 business hours after you start staying in a new location.

>I have informed my new landlord in BKK about this but they dont have any experience on reporting

Your landlord should be familiar with reporting a TM30. Your landlord can use one of the following three programs to submit a TM30:

The TM30 and the 90 day report systems are two completely different processes. You'll file your next 90 day report as normal; in early January.

MTT is a temporary building. We don't know if it'll still be operating in late December/ early January.

REPOST: Self File TM-30 BANGKOK ONLY.

This is the way you need to fill out the TM30 form if you are filing with NO documentation from your land lord

Your name goes at the top of the form, your address goes under it, then your address AGAIN as the address where the foreigner lives.

In the blank area at the bottom left hand side of the piece that they will tear off and give back to you write your address again.

On the second page (the table) put all your information.

You sign BOTH forms on the signature lines. Print the forms correctly. the first page is portrait orientation and second page is landscape orientation :O

Make copies of;

-lease

-data page of your passport

-visa (if you have one)

-extension (if you have one)

-entry stamp

-TM6 departure card

sign the copies of your passport stuff.

This is a way to file a TM30 in BANGKOK without any information from your land lord at all. <- (meaning you don't need their i/d, their house book listing, a power of attorney form with the 10 baht in tax stamps).

AFAIK: this ONLY works in Bangkok but I can say with 100% accuracy that it does work (y)

keep in mind that was "pre-covid-19-shit-storm" and your mileage may vary. Dunno if it still works or not AND in Bangkok you go to MTT to file a TM30

Yes, no later than 24 business hours after you moved in.
