I have a guest coming to visit me. I rent a house. What docs do I need to provide my friend for passport control?
He is flying in from the USA and will enter via passport waiver.
Thanks

Answer summary
The guest from the USA visiting Thailand under a passport waiver does not need many documents; primarily, ensuring he has your full address in Thailand is important for filling out the TDAC arrival card and complying with immigration requirements. It is mentioned that as the renter, there's no obligation for you to register him per TM30 unless he seeks an extension. Some suggest sending an invitation letter to your friend for added assurance, but overall, many users shared that minimal documentation is necessary.

From my experience I’m pretty sure you could give them a 7-11 address and they wouldn’t care.

Eh ?

It's really comfortable that your friend needs to book a hotel (with free cancellation fee) and then cancel the hotel booking.

@Zaw ******
No need to book, just use the name/address for the TDAC
Jan ******************
Just make sure he has your full address in Thailand. He’ll need it to complete the TDAC arrival card and in case Immigration asks, which they rarely do.
Stephen *********
If anyone has to do it then it should be the house owner, but I would not bother. If he needs to put an address for the immigration form then book a place print it out and then cancel it later.
Nongnuch ********
if he won't have any business to do on Immigration (like a 30 days extension) you can ignore registering him per TM30

@Nongnuch *******
He will not need a TM30 to enter which was the questionGraham ******
