TLDR : Answer Summary
When renting an apartment in Thailand, it's important to understand the TM30 requirement, which mandates landlords to report foreign tenants to immigration. Tenants should ask their landlords to file this online within a timely manner, ideally within 24 hours of arrival. If planning to extend a visa, the TM30 proof becomes necessary. Some landlords may be reluctant to file, so tenants can consider asking them to provide login details for the online system or check with management offices to assist with this filing.

Many condos will do it for you, but you have to go down to the office and request it. That can be a problem if the rental agreement is not legit (that's a whole other conversation).

Get your landlord to register on the site and give you the log in details so that you can do it yourself. Never have to bother your landlord again.

If you stay below 30 days, and have no business on Immigration during your stay, you can ignore the TM30. however if you intend to apply for a 30-days extension of your stay permit, then you should ask your landlord to file a TM30 and print it out, because most immigrations now made it a requirement when you ask for any service from them

 Although in theory it has to be filed within 24 hours of arrival at your place of stay no one gives a monkeys when you actually filed it. If your landlord did it over 7 days ago then ask them to do it again “today” and print out the filing PDF. If questioned why it was today and you arrived 30 days ago just say I stayed at my friends house last night and returned to my house today so I filed again.

It’s a legal requirement for the landlords to fill out TM30. Only dodgy landlords have an issue with this 🙂

 I’m really not sure what you’re trying say. What new process? You either file a TM30 online (which is what 99.99% of hotels, etc would do) or you file manually at an immigration office.

 Your right I certainly didn’t understand. You finish by saying “they no longer process this online.” Who don’t?
