ORIGINAL POSTER
After reading about 18 dozen webpages, I am surprisingly confused about the proper Thai immigration procedure for changing one's address. I'm sure I'm the first.

I'm moving from one place to another in Chiang Mai city. The majority of websites suggest I need:

TM28

TM30

Passport photocopies

Lease photocopies

However other people say the TM28 is no longer needed, others say you do it all online, etc.

Anyone had recent experience?

TLDR : Answer Summary
Many expats are unsure about the process for changing their address in Chiang Mai, with conflicting information regarding necessary documents. Generally, it's believed that you need to submit a TM28, TM30, and provide copies of your passport and lease. However, recent discussions suggest that not all immigration offices require the TM28, and some processes may now be available online. It is advisable to directly check with the Chiang Mai immigration office for the most accurate and updated requirements.
