What is the procedure for reporting my arrival in Thailand and address registration after returning from abroad?

Non-O Visa Re-entry Permit TM30 Visa Extension Address Registration Expat Life in Thailand

May 28, 2022

ORIGINAL POSTER

Regarding leaving and returning to Thailand:

April 29th.  Entered Thailand with 90-day non O with intention to apply for one-year extension of stay (over 50). 

May 6th. Deposited 800k baht to Thai savings account. 

May 23rd.  Obtained single re-entry permit and left Thailand due to family emergency. 

June 21st. Will arrive back in Thailand. 

July 6th. Plan to apply for one-year extension of stay. 

Questions 

1. When I return on June 21st, how exactly do I report arrival at my Thailand residence? Do I go to immigration and file something? (Or is this where my landlord files a new TM30 and I should get a receipt?).

2. I understand I have to do address registration before I apply for the one-year extension of stay. For clarity, this is unrelated to "reporting my arrival at my Thailand residence," correct? 

Thank you.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user outlines their timeline concerning their 90-day Non-O visa, detailing a family emergency that required leaving Thailand after securing a single re-entry permit. They inquire about the proper procedures for reporting their arrival when they return to Thailand on June 21st and the distinction between address registration and reporting their arrival. Comments emphasize the importance of having the landlord file a TM30 within 24 hours, while another user raises a question about the procedure if they own a condo without a landlord.

You have a good plan in place...

Just have your landlord file a TM30 ... within 24 hours of arrival at your residence address in Thailand.

Thank you, James. Because I had to leave Thailand quickly, I didn't notify my landlord (at a large condo complex) that I had to leave temporarily. I just continued to pay the rent while I have been gone. Does this cause a problem (for me or the landlord? )?

you don't need to notify your landlord. You can come and go as you please. You paid rent when you weren't there. It's what we all do, it's not special in any way but you might need to tell him you returned. He might need to file a new TM30 although I really don't understand why.

Depends on the immigration office, but most IOs require you to re-file TM30 when arrived from abroad again or you will be fined for failing to report TM30 when you have to do something at the immigration office next time (in OP's case, applying for a 1-year extension)
