What happens if my landlord doesn't file a TM30 for my condo in Thailand?
Dtv awardee, have just found a condo and settled in but the owner, German currently living in Germany, doesn't know what a tm30 is. I am his first renter (yay). I sent him a link to the thai immigration page that explains it but I'm anxious he isn't going to follow up. If I don't have a tm30, what happens?
Answer summary
The TM30 form is essential for expats residing in Thailand, as it serves as proof of residence and is required for immigration purposes, including the 90-day reporting process. If your landlord does not submit the TM30, he may incur daily fines, and you may face difficulties with immigration matters. If your landlord is unresponsive, you can handle the registration yourself at the immigration office with your lease and passport, or hire a visa agent to assist.

I'm staying for 4 months in an Airbnb, going in and out of Thailand, should I request the landlady to send me a copy of the TM30 as well?

How did you lease if your landlord is not in town? Who showed you the place? Agent? Get the agent to do it. My landlord is in the US so everything is done by the agent including repairs.

I would personally move if not done it's an important registration and document you need for anything, best to avoid foreign owners/subletters on air bnb as they might be reluctant if they are not doing it all legally

He gets charged per day it isn't completed. But you need the TM30 as proof of residence

Do it yourself. Take your lease and passport to immigration. Takes 20 minutes usually.

I was under the impression the property owner has to do it and they want documents from them specifically.Sam *****
No, that's not the case at all. Your lease will have a copy of the owners ID, and that's the only requirement from the owner, although most leases also contain a copy of the property book which might be required also, I am not sure.
Either way, 3 different rentals I have done it myself. No problems quick and easy. I do it the morning after moving to avoid being fined. I believe it has to be done within 48 hours in Chon Buri. Other provinces I am not sure.

exactly do it yourselves day you move in, immigration appreciates this a lot

If you have a valid lease with your landlords details on it including house registration etc you might be able to do it yourself. Generally you need a TM30 for any interaction with immigration including doing 90 day reports

Most Immigration Offices require it for 90 day report. All will require it for extension if in country.

You can ask a visa agent to get you one sometimes, VIP Visa-Thai Driving License might be able to help. Everywhere they charge 2-400 baht. Good luck.
