You not always need TM30, I extended 2 times at Hat Yai, they did not ask for TM30.

That is true if you stay in a hotel.

TM30 is done online within a few minutes, you just have to remember when you arrive.

I never did one for 10 years but then they started clamping down. My local office is quiet so it's easy to do.

if it's your girlfriend condo and she rents can her landlord supply it for me ?

@Pat *******
The owner of the building is responsible for reporting a foreigner staying at his property within 24 hours of arrival. He/she will need the blue book house registration, ID card and your passport. If this has not been done I suggest you check into a cheap hotel for a couple of nights before you apply for the extension. Even though it is the building owners responsibility they will fine you so cheaper to stay in a hotel.

it's not a hotel it's my girlfriend condo , she pays the rent I've never met the owner but I'll ask her to call her

@Ian *********
You still need the tm30 document the hotel provides for you

Hotel will do it online and give you a printout or screenshot.

This you have to show to immigration

So refrain from giving out wrong information🤦🏻

That's is not true. Hotels register you online. That is why they photo copy your passport when you check in. Immigration may want to see your proof of booking.
