TLDR : Answer Summary

The TM30 immigration report is required for anyone hosting a foreigner for more than 24 hours. If you're staying at a friend's house, they need to file the TM30 report, which can be done online. However, if your stay is only for two weeks and you don't plan on visiting immigration for any services, filing may not be necessary. Some users have noted that in less monitored areas, TM30 procedures may not always be followed strictly.

I stay at my gf's house for several days when visiting. They have never had to do a TM30. There are no snitches in her village. Just be careful who you can trust

Anyone who hosts foreigners for more than 24 hours is required to file a TM30. If you're staying with a friend, the owner of the house needs to file it, she can do it online. That said, if you're only there for 2 weeks and not going to go to immigration for any services, it won't matter.

its not the week or two that doesn't matter, its if you will have no interaction with immigration office/police you wont be asked to produce it.
