What documents do I need from my landlord to self-register for the TM30 in Chiang Mai?

Hi Iain. As you are in Chiang Mai, I have always found the staff at the TM30 office accommodating when filing the TM30 on behalf of my landlord. Been doing it for the past 4 years for 3 different apartments I've stayed at.

Take your passport and a copy of your rental agreement to the TM30 office at the Immigration office near to the Airport. The TM30 office is at the rear of the main building next door to the photo/copy shop, ahead of the 90 day reporting drive through window.

Take a numbered card next to the door and wait for you number to be called. The may be a TM30 form to fill in while you wait but they have usually done it for me.

You will get a slip stapled in your passport to show you've registered. If you stay overnight in a hotel elsewhere its wise to return to the TM30 office with 24 hrs so that they can update their records and the slip of your return to your home address. Some people will say you don't need to re register if you don' t leave Thailand but I hear of conflicting reports. I just do it.

I'm typically in and out of the TM30 office within 15 mins max.

Hopefully you and your landlord won't get penalised for submitting the TM30 late. It should be done within 24 hours of arriving during office hrs.

Good luck.

Whether you can do this or not is totally dependent on the immigration office SO it might or might not work
