TM30 question - as property owner

Hi all. I’m on a 1-year retirement extension as of Dec. 26, 2022. Since then, we bought a condo in BKK & moved in. I need to fill out the TM30 - but we live there, we are the tenants.

3 questions:

The TM30 instructions require a copy of passport & house registration “certified as a true copy.” What does this mean? Do I find a notary & have them certify a copy of my documents? Or can certification be done at immigration in BKK?

When do I notify immigration of new address - now, or at my 90-day check-in? (March 2023.)

Registering new address online - our previous rental landlord had to update something online that showed us as the tenants. How do I create that record online now that I am the owner? (There is no mention of this in TM30 instructions.)

Thanks for any advice!

curious finally did you success with registration as landlord at immigration system? Could you please share your experience how to complete it?

I'm trying to register myself, but it shows that some field is missing when I click submit button. Looks like it complain about "* ลงทะเบียนที่หน่วยงาน" field as it empty and can't be edited.

I successfully registered as the owner. I'm currently outside of Thailand - if I have any trouble listing myself as staying there when I get back, I guess I'll go to Immigration to straighten it out.

Hi. I did manage to register. Sorry, I don't remember what that field is that you are having trouble with, & can't seem to find it now logging in to the site. Ours was a bit complicated because the system requires some kind of reference number that we did not have. It turned out to be from the blue book, which we didn't have - apparently our condo last changed hands a long while ago, before those blue books existed. So we had to obtain it at the local Bangkok office. So we didn't get that book with the applicable number until about a month after buying the place. But then I was able to complete registration using that number.

TM30 should have been done within 24 hours of you moving. It is required that the property owner reports the arrival of a foreigner within 24 hours.

You can register online if you are the property owner

Then you can do it online in a minute or two each time you travel and return home.

Thanks so much! I started filling that out - it turns out we still need some addl. info on the property transfer from our local registration office to complete this form. But I wouldn't have known this if you hadn't sent this link, many thanks!

Above is the link used but hotels etc to register tm30. Don't see why you could not use it.

I do tm 30 myself but have to get house book of landlady copy, her id card copy. My house book copy all signed by her. Copy of my passport. Could not do 90 day report until tm 30 had been updated even though I did it three weeks prior to staying in hotel on Udon. It is a pain everytime you travel and stay in a hotel that sends in tm30 report. I have never had to get anything notarised just signed by my landlady. In your case it will be the house owner. Hope that helps.
