What should my mother on a retirement visa do regarding TM30 and 90-day reporting after moving from Pattaya to Bangkok?

ORIGINAL POSTER
My mother is here on a retirement visa. She just did her 90 days report in Pattaya as she lives there half of the year close to her friends. Half of the year she wants to spend near me in Bangkok.

Next month she will stay in my spare condo in Bangkok. I'm seriously confused about what the current regulations are and what both she as well as I should do...

* I think I need to file a TM30 when she arrives in my condo. Hopefully the online reporting for that works again by then.

Q1: When I filed the TM30 for here, should she still do something, and if systems are up, can it be done online or by mail?

Q2: Her current 90 day report is due June 1st. Can she send her 90 day paper report (issued by Chonburi Immigration) by mail to Chaengwattana? Should she report by then or immediately after she arrives at my condo?

Q3: If anything needs to be done in person (TM30, 90D), what is currently handled in CHW and what in MTT?

Anything important that I forgot to ask?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking guidance on the necessary steps for their mother, who is on a retirement visa, as she transitions between living in Pattaya and Bangkok. Key questions include whether the TM30 needs to be filed upon her arrival at the new address, if her 90-day report can be mailed to a different immigration office, and what processes require in-person visits. One comment suggests filing the TM30 immediately upon her arrival and clarifying her 90-day reporting based on her residency.

Okay, just get a TM30 filed on her (that's the change of address proof in Bangkok) THEN if you want to when her 90 day report is coming due, file by mail so that the packet is post marked at least 14 days before her report is due.

You're a fair number of days out on needing to worry about that. Get her here and get a a TM30 filed so that she's got a bangkok address to start doing things from
