A friend is arriving from the UK as a tourist he will seek an extension and has been told he needs a TM30 on arrival to be able to use immigration. Anybody give me any info on this please

Answer summary

A friend from the UK arriving in Thailand as a tourist needs a TM30 form to extend their stay. This is a report that must be filed by the property owner within 24 hours of arrival, either by the hotel if staying there or by the landlord if staying with a private individual. If not properly filed, there could be fines penalty when extending the visa. The TM30 can be filed online through the official immigration website or directly at the local immigration office.

if your friend will live at your property, you as the house owner (or your wife who is actually the owner) are required to report him at the Immigration office that serves your area, within 24 hours of his arrival. However you can also register the house on the new TM30 Registration website. After being supplied with the login-data plus password, you can register your friend on this website and don't need to visit Immigration. You will see the notification of the registering, make a screenshot, print is and place inside your friends passport. Equipped with this, he will 100% receive a 30 days extension of the 30 days visa exempt entry

You can download the form and post it . Take a copy of the TM30 and the post receipt to immigration but they usually do not even ask for it.

Is your friend staying with you or staying at a hotel. Thai law requires that a property owner files a TM30 within 24 hours to report a foreigner is staying at the address. If they are staying at a hotel then the hotel should file it and they can ask for a copy from the hotel. If staying with you then your landlord should file it.

you can take your “house book”and his details (copy of passport ) to the Immigration office and fill in a paper form and do it in person. Must be done within 24hours or next working day after a public holiday.
