What are the TM30 registration rules for expats returning to Thailand after traveling abroad?

Question

Rules about TM30. The owner of my condo says she doesn't have to register me again when I return from traveling abroad and in Thailand. I thought she has to. How do the rules actually looks like?

Ask Thailand · Answer

The TM30 registration rules in Thailand can vary by province. Some require re-registration when an expat travels either within Thailand or abroad, while others may only need it for international travel. It is generally the responsibility of the condo owner to register the TM30, but many expats are advised to handle it themselves upon returning, especially if they have traveled outside of the country. Failure to comply with TM30 registration can lead to problems later, such as during visa extensions, so it is often recommended to visit the local immigration office for the current requirements.

Some provinces require re-register if you travel to even other provinces, others only require it if traveling abroad, and others don't require at all if you're returning to the previous registered place.

Go and ask your local immigration office.

It's your responsibility. Go to immigration, it's quite easy. Just a pain. Normally takes about 20 minutes.

ASK your Thai Immigration office for their current address registration TM30 requirements.

We are seeing many Thai immigration offices now requiring a New TM 30 be filed when you return to your registered address after you have departed Thailand.
