What is the process for filing a TM30 and 90-day report in Thailand for expats?
Don’t forget to do your Tm30 when you arrive if your landlord or hotel has not done it for you.
And you will need to do 90 day reports at your local immigration.
My Sisaket immigration office was incredibly friendly and helpful.

Answer summary
It is important to file a TM30 upon arrival in Thailand unless your landlord or hotel has done it for you. Additionally, you will need to make 90-day reports at your local immigration office. Many users found their experience at the Sisaket immigration office to be friendly and helpful. While there is some confusion regarding who must file the TM30, it is generally understood that it is the landlord's responsibility, not the tenant’s. If you have a yellow book and your spouse owns the property, you may not need a rental contract for immigration purposes.

You only need the TM30 when attending immigration, so just make sure you have the latest one from the night before you attend the immigration office. Don't sweat on any others - immigration not interested in TM30 history

Guessing you don't need rental contract if you have yellow book and your wife owns the house

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand we ourselves can't file the TM30, right?

You can register the landlord's details on the online application and then just enter yourself as the visitor each time you go back to that addressToni *******

landlord gets the fines if so, their responsibilitySteve ********
@Toni ******
Haha! That's never going to happen! Unfortunately it's always the foreigner who cops the fine! Much easier for immigration. They'll give you the receipt and advise you to get it from the landlord. Good luck with that one!Andy ************

@Andy ***********
i have never paid the fine when hotel or landlord didnt do it, found out at immigration doing extension. Hotel/landlord always paid. Lets stick to the official rules and no bs rumours what you throw in the air ok? If you paid, thats your choice, they told me too if i want to get my extension that minute, i have to pay, so i went again next day. You seem to know nothing about thailand, since you dont even know its up to the officer lolAndy ************
@Toni ******
Seems you're not the sharpest knife in the kitchen drawer. Thailand doesn't always operate within its own legislation. You are aware prostitution is illegal in Thailand? You are aware bribing a government official is illegal? Not wearing a crash helmet when riding a motorcycle is illegal? Riding motorcycles on the footpath is illegal? Come on, wake up.

You must be new here. You turn up at immigration without a TM30, they will not process any extension you are seeking until YOU have paid the fine. You really believe immigration are going to instigate legal action against the owner when they have the foreigner sitting in front of them. You've a lot to learn, but you'll get there! 👍Toni *******
@Andy ***********
blabla, you can pay if you want, but you dont need to. Theres a difference.Andy ************
@Toni ******
It's irrelevant. The alien gets the fine!Toni *******
@Andy ***********

@Elías *******
