What should I do if my landlord hasn't registered my residency for a resident certificate in Thailand?
I'm in need of a resident form for an automobile sale. My current landlord never went to immigration to file any documentation of my residency with them. I have a current rental contract that is 8 months old. Will there be any issue for me to get the resident certificate? Maybe best to make a new contract? The owner has provided me with their personal information and proof of ownership of the home. Also, what is the penalty to either me or the homeowner? I'm located in chonburi and probably going to Jomtien office. Thank you
Answer summary
In Thailand, to obtain a resident certificate, you need to register your residency with the immigration office, which your landlord must sign. If your landlord fails to do this, you can still apply for late registration; however, it costs around 800 Baht and ideally, your landlord will reimburse you. You must prepare several documents including a lease, your landlord's ID, and proof of ownership of the property. It's also noted that your landlord can handle registration online, which might simplify your process. Ensure you keep records of your 90-day report, as it's often required. The conversation also discusses the importance of the TM 30 form, associated penalties, and potential reimbursement options.

whilst you are correct - that old volunteer bloke at Phuket tried to send me down that route - in the end all immigration wanted was a copy of the TM 30, which they seem to be fixated about these days, to the extent they insist it must be kept inside your passport…I think all the OP needs to do is get his landlord to enter him online, and give him the printout; so what if it shows he’s only lived there for a couple of days? There’s no statute of limitations on how long you must be a resident before you buy/sell a vehicle…

the owner has filled out the online form. Not sure if it's been approved and a user ID issued.. after it's issued is that the time they register me the tenant for the TM 30?Paulie *********

yes, been an online facility for landlords for a few years - pretty much since online reporting for 90 days, I think.This is what I found from a quick internet search….How to register with the immigration as a home or business ownerTo submit guests online (and through our service), the property owner has to obtain a User ID and password from the Immigration Bureau. The easiest way to do this is online via:
Through our website - link (quick and easy)
Through the official website - link (sometimes doesn't work)
Section 38 app - iphone android
The property owner will have to fill out a short form and submit the following documents as proof:
Passport or Thai ID card scan.
Blue Book or Yellow Book (proof of property ownership)
Hotel license and company papers (for resorts and hotels)
Once submitted, it will take the Immigration Bureau a few days to issue the User ID and password which they will then send to the owner's email address.

what are the 2 5 baht stamps?Richard *********
@Jon **********

@Richard ********
or the post office, best place to get them. Or the department of land transport. Book stores? Difficult to find in Thailand these days as no one reads books anymore, whereas post offices and land transport department offices are everywhere.Jon ***********

You can go to Immigration and get a late registration of your stay there, even if your landlord doesn't want to go himself. However he has to sign and stamp the form to registere you at that place. Late registration is 800 Baht and if you are lucky, your landlord will re-emburse you, else it's on you. Then you can apply for a residence certification like you need for the car (or motorcycle) to buy.
Good luck. And be aware of overcharging.
