TM 30 query.

I just did my TM 47 ( 90 day notification) today. I have a retirement visa for the past 7 years.  This is my 3rd time doing a TM 47 coz i always travel in and out of Thailand.

The immigration officer asked for my TM30.  Actually, this is the first time i was asked about TM30.  Anyway, she said it is required everytime you re enter Thailand. Please let me know what is the easiest way to comply with this.  

This is my first time to encounter TM30.  I stay in a condo i owned for the past 20 years. 

Thanks for the help.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The TM30 is a requirement that must be filed within 24 hours of a foreigner arriving at their residence in Thailand, including upon re-entry. The user recently learned of this requirement while completing their TM47 for a retirement visa, which they had not encountered in the past despite owning a condo for 20 years. Comments suggest several ways to comply with the TM30, including visiting a hotel for a night, seeking assistance from the condo's office, or using online options. Some users note variations in TM30 enforcement, with suggestions to check for compliance from landlords or local authorities. The discussion highlights the lack of user-friendly processes in the TM30 online application system.

my question was in relation to this post on TM 30 for TM 47.. and your comment was" rules are changing.. - so i was expecting an answer on that " what is changing? My owner says if you dont stay 90 days, then no TM30.

there have been no recent rule changes to TM30s or 90 day reporting (except for a shortening of the online reporting window)

I don’t understand why they would be asking you for your TM 30 at immigrations upon entry into Thailand because it’s required to be filed within 24 hours of your arrival at your hotel or residence.
