My 90 day is mid month and at my last 90 day report nobody asked me for any TM-30. Where can I get this form so I don't have any problems this month and what can I expect?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The TM-30 form, which is typically the homeowner's responsibility, may not be requested during a 90-day report by some immigration offices. However, if you're concerned about needing it, you can find the form online, print it out, or obtain it from your local immigration office. It's also important to note that different immigration offices have varying procedures, so checking with your specific office may provide clarity on what to expect.

And because this thread (like most TM.30 threads) started to run wild I think I will post
@Rob***
's excellent summary of all we know about the TM.30 filing procedure and leave it at that.

Remember different immigration offices handle it different, when in doubt check with your specific immigration office..

Never been asked for a TM-30 in the past ten years. TM-30 is the responsibility of the homeowner/hotel. You should never even see it, let alone have a copy of it.

@Ra***
this is where you file a TM.30 online

ah. That's where the confusion was.. I will do the TM30 online when I need to. Thanks

@Tod ********
I don't really understand how to do that.. Isn't that a form that has to be signed by the landlord?

@Ramon ********
, you don't have to do a TM.30 every time you do a 90 day report, you do a TM.30 ONCE when you come into the country and then you're done with it (until you move or you exit/re-enter the country when you file a new one)

@Ra***
At this time (meaning as of today) they were NOT asking for proof of a TM.30 receipt when you did 90 day reporting at Chaengwattana.

BUT

that photo I posted states they WILL ask for it. <- when is the question

I'll find out for sure next week..

@Ramon ********
Yes, you read correctly.
Ramon *********
So in order to do your 90 day report we now have to do the TM30 as well? Together on the same day? Do I understand that correctly?

I'm going to CW in Bangkok.

@David ***************
okay, I will say this once, no matter what you read, or hear foreigners are the ones getting fined for failure to have a TM.30 filed on time. AND foreigners are the ones who NEED the receipt to get things done at the immigration office.

The thai immigration officers look at it like this; when you rent a place you become the possessor of it and there by can be fined for failing to fine a TM.30..

the foreigner does not "do" the TM-30.

and while that is anecdotally interesting, :O I would bet dollars to durian that you're gonna be asked ;)

More and more immigration offices are making foreigners show the a receipt of having done a TM.30 to get extensions, do 90 day reports, get re-entry permits, and residence certificates.

Just to have it so when I'm there they won't raise any issues about it .
Tod *********
well, there aren't that many reports from up that way about how Chiang Rai Immigrations deals with the TM.30 or if they require it for doing a 90 day report.

Sorry.. :/
Tod *********
You might not get asked about it this time when you do a 90 day report either. Different immigration offices handle it differently. How about stating what immigration office in what province you will be using?
