What do I need to know about TM30 requirements for expats in Thailand?

Did you give the landlord any money or a gift when you asked for the documents? I would. Just to be nice, because you're asking for a favour. A lot of people aren't that happy to give out their personal information.

Thank you for your answers! I don’t bother him every month — I only need to travel every 3–4 months, and once a year I apply for an extension.

This year, I also opened a bank account. After returning from Vietnam, I received a 90-day stay, and I had to get a TM30 immediately in order to open the account. Later, when I applied for the one-year extension, immigration required not only the rental contract and TM30, but also property ownership documents. He provided everything, and I successfully got the extension, for which I’m very grateful.

Now I’m asking about the retirement visa because with it you are not tied to another person and there is no need to prove that you live together. There is also no “under consideration” period. In practice, you can extend it from any city you want, even if you are staying in a hotel, as long as you have a TM30.It is correct ?

I used my hotel for TM30 no problem at all.

I live in Phichit and they don’t require a new TM 30 if I leave our house and go on a holiday or whatever as long as we come back to the same address

My friend & I met the owner, made 10 copies of her ID card and house book, asked for signature on each copy then had enough for one year plus, we did this when renew the lease so took extra 10 mins. Then each time return from travelling you make the trip to immigration on owner behalf and present the signed copies plus copy of your lease

I have had the same TM30 for 5 years. Travel within Thailand all the time.

Enough you find a serious landlord

Buying your own indeed is an option - make sure it is a foreign quota and FET certificate provided for the funds allowing the Land Office to make a proper freehold transfer as you will need the chanute and the blue book.

I used to have an annual contract with an Avani hotel and previously had them with Marriott hotels, so you can certainly get a contract.

I did not live there 365 days a year but only when I was in Thailand. They handled all the reporting paperwork.

The contract I had was good for immigration and visa purposes.

My landlord is always happy to do TM30 when we return from a trip. It takes him 2 minutes online.

Very immportant question :- Does/ would a retired couple need any kind of jabs to keep us safe ,,we are traveling to Thiland in September. ?

move to a different home

You are supposed to but unless you need the TM30 for some reason such as an extension why bother? They are not going to hunt you down to make sure. If you are the type of person that needs to cross every t and dot every I, do it yourself. I don’t like to bother my landlord unless it is absolutely necessary.

You do not need a lease agreement for any visa, as you can live in a hotel if you wish. However, you do need an up-to-date TM30 or you cannot do anything at immigration. Hotels take a copy of your passport so they can lodge a TM30 online. Many landlords are reluctant to deal with immigration as they fear it will bring them Tax implications

Why do you keep asking your landlord for docs? You only need to update your tm30 if: you change address, or get new passport (this is what Jontien immigration told me on a recent visit)

I just needed hotel TM30

Do yoh have or can you get signed copies of your landlord's Thai ID and Tabian Baan? If so set up a TM30 online reporting account, add your address then, as required, get your own TM30s

Why do you bother your landlord at all?

Take all the documents once, create user and password for TM30 and TM47 websites, do all the periodic submissions on your own and leave him alone.

Same goes for the annual extension. Use the same copy of docs every year, with valid and updated lease agreement.

TM30 requirements are the same for all NON-O visa types. Your landlord just does not want to pay taxes - that is just simple

You can move around as much as you want but you need to report your new address to immigration within 24 hours

TM30 requirements are the same.
