TM30 online

Hello Eveyone,

My wife filled out my tm30 online for me.

I see down the bottom of the proof of residence confirmation the date of arrival is missing

Is that something that should be filled in when doing online?

We do it together but I didn’t notice where to fill that in.

Is it necessary and if so where do you fill it in online?

I presume the TM6 is obsolete?

I want to make sure that now while immigration is getting stricter that I do everything correctly

Thanks in advance 🙏
Answer summary
The conversation discusses the online submission of the TM30 form in Thailand, specifically addressing concerns about a missing date of arrival on the proof of residence confirmation. Several users confirm that the date of arrival is not mandatory and can often be left blank, providing reassurance about completing the TM30 correctly. Users also clarify that the TM6 form is obsolete, and when submitting the TM30, only the check-in date is significant. It is emphasized that property owners need to file the TM30, and renters should ensure their landlords comply to avoid penalties.

If you know someone who owns their own property, can they do a TM30 for you, without proof that you stay there.

When I complete the TM30 online, the date of arrival is also missing. Check-in date is the important one

Replace with TDAC details moving on or refill this with stay date start late by the day you will fill again

Same problem here.....I always fill out the TM30 digitally, but have the same problem...I don't know where to put the date and number of TDAC on the digital form....this time I'm going for an extension of 1 year on my non-immigrant 3 months retirement visa, so I'm going personally to the immigration to do the TM30 because I don't want any issues with the extension .....

Jesper Ngiam DTAC? I assume my AIS phone number and my wife's TRUE number would be sufficient

Yes, I was also told to substitute the TM6 number with that of my TDAC.

Tm6 is the number on your TDAC. Arrival date, check your last arrival into Thailand. That is what I did.

@Towanda *******
my wife owns her house so she fills the tm30 online out as the home owner

I just sit and assist her as she hasn’t done it before we met

So it’s my wife who does it not me

If you rent the landlord needs to do it online

Or it’s can be done physically at immigration by the landlord also

Peter Brown i cant imagine a large coorperation renting out homes will have the time to go immigration to do TM30 on a foriengers behalf, so if the property owner dont do TM30 what happens then ???

@Jason *****
then you won't be serviced on Immigration for anything, and you would have to pay a fine of 2000 Baht for a missing TM30

TM6 doesn't exist anymore, so it wouldn't be possible to fill that out.

The only date that matters is the "Check-in date" so as long as that is present, that's the important piece of information

It's true Thai Immigration hasn't been issuing new TM6 papers for quite a few years. However, at least at BKK CW Immigration, they continue to ask for a photocopy of my final TM6 each and every year I apply for a new retirement extension. And they've never removed the copy that's been stapled inside my passport for years. And, the current TM7 form still has a line entry for TM6 information, which they could have easily removed by now if they wanted to. (PS - FWIW, in my case, I haven't traveled outside Thailand since the new TDAC system came online.)
