What are the TM30 reporting requirements for hotel stays and condo leases in Thailand during my Non-O visa period?
TM30 questions (re: 90 day Non-O and 1yr extensions)
1/ If you have a 2 week hotel stay in Pattaya during your initial 90 day, but go to Bangkok for 2 days (hotel stay), do you need to ask your Pattaya hotel to resubmit the TM30 when you return? Will they?
2/ Similar - with a 1yr condo lease and any side trips away from Pattaya. The hotel stay creates a TM30 report so does a fresh TM30 report need to be submitted on return? Can this be done using the online system?

Answer summary
The TM30 reporting requirement in Thailand primarily rests with hotels and landlords. If you stay at a hotel, they should update immigration on your stay, especially when you check in and out. If you take side trips while on a 90-Day Non-O visa, the hotel typically does not need to submit a new TM30 each time you return for a short stay. However, those renting a condo may only need to notify the landlord if they leave the country. Always maintaining hotel receipts is advisable for verification unless direct fines are imposed for non-compliance.

OPLelong John Never heard that one before. All booked on Agoda so good there.

To solve the problem I never give any hotel my passport, I give them my Thai Driving license or pink ID.

OPMichael WinterI was hoping this was an option but online info says the following..
TM30 Reporting: The license often contains the necessary information for hotels to fulfill the legal requirement of reporting your stay to immigration.

Mike Deslauriers just check if you have your passport number on your DL if not it's good.

Michael Winter what? Then what kind of ID no. is on your Thai DL?
Michael ********
Sue Heimchen The same number as my pink ID card which is also my Tax number.

It is absolutely stupid, to make a new TM30 any time you stay for one or some days in another place, but come back any time to your "home" in Thailand. I don't do it anf there is a problem or a fine, Thailand will never see me again. I think, you will not do any similiar when travelling in the world, I don't know how it is in Northkorea....🥲

If you are staying at a hotel then that would be the hotels responsibility to inform immigration that you are staying there.
If you leave and go and stay somewhere else for a day or longer.
Then they would be obliged to inform immigration again.
Their responsibility to inform immigration of foreigners that stay there.
If you are renting a condo they normally only fill in a new tm30 if you leave the country and come back in.
The owner of the condo I rent requested me to jnform them if I plan to leave the country for a holiday with times away and when I get back to let them know so they can resubmit a tn30.

Different Immigration Offices have different requirements so ask yours

Graham Seal why would he have to. It is not his responsibility. The landlords or hotels are the ones responsible for reporting.
Herbert *********
Sean Franjesh so how will you meet the landlord living may be in Sweden orvanywhere in the world every time you come back from a two day trip? He will not be at home anytime and his had to work, etc.
This rule is as stupid as many others in Thailand.

Sean Franjesh he would be the one who can't leave the Immigration office before he hasn't paid the 2000 THB fine. After that he is free to try to get the money back from the landlord. You should wish him Good Luck 😁
Graham ******
Sean Franjesh he doesn't have to he can just pay the landlord's fine (usually 800 or 1600B) when he next uses Immigration but the OP asked the question so I told him the way to get the correct answer
