I finished my quarantine yesterday and tried to rent a condo but couldn’t find a suitable one yet. I am now living in my friend’s dormitory. I want to ask about the TM30, what should I do if I haven’t rented a condo, and when is the deadline to report my accommodation, will I be fined by the immigration office? Thanks!
TLDR : Answer Summary
If you're staying in a friend's dormitory and have not yet secured a rental condo, it is important to address the TM30 registration requirement, which is typically the responsibility of your landlord. You can either ask your friend to inform immigration of your stay or report yourself with the necessary documents. Generally, you should ensure that filing the TM30 is done within 24 hours of moving in to avoid a potential fine, which can vary, typically around 800 baht, but may reach up to 2000 baht at the discretion of the immigration officer. Many suggest it may be safe to wait until you secure a condo, as enforcement varies and the risks appear lower if you plan on moving soon.
