TLDR : Answer Summary
To file a TM30 in Thailand, it is advisable to bring your passport and NON-O visa. Most immigration offices have the necessary forms available, so you typically do not need to download them, although you can download the TM30 form to fill out in advance. Additionally, if you're in Bangkok and the property is yours, you might need to file it yourself at the immigration office. However, landlords usually handle TM30 filings, and it can often be done online.

Went and did it today with passport and non O visa. No form filling, they had all the information computerized. Needed it for driving license.

Bloody waste of time to keep immigration staff busy.

As you now tell, you are the owner, do it on line, saves you time if you decide to travel again

you log in, you enter the data, you press the blue button to 'migrate' the info to the spread sheet below, the you press the floppy disc icon in the top right and SAVE the data. Then exit the system, go back in use the search function, put in the check in date in BOTH search fields and it should call up the data you just entered.

Take a screen shot of that and print it. That's the ONLY way you can show you filed a TM30 online

they don't send you any confirmation. Submit it, then you search for the entry you made and that's the proof.

If you are in Bangkok and needing to self file a TM30. This link below to
@Tod ********
post is very useful.

If you aren't in Bangkok, you'll need to gently push your landlord to submit one, or find an accommodation that will.

I should add, this is normally done by your hotel, guesthouse, landlord and the process is very easy for them to do online. You just need to ask them for a copy of the acknowledgement they receive or screen shot

it will be worth while you asking them when you are there, if/how it would be possible to do online, for future TM30 submissions.

No doubt you'll be using Bangkok immigration in future for extensions etc and it's useful to have an accurate TM30 history. I had a couple of challenges because hotels I stayed in, outside Bangkok, had submitted a TM30 there. I needed to do another one, to cancel that one, when I returned to the condo.

No need to download as Immigration Offices have all needed application forms for you.

But you might down load the TM30 form before you go and fill in.

Other documents differ at different Immigration Offices.
