Hi! Our son is arriving in 1 week from the UK and is staying with us in our rented property in Phuket for 2 weeks. I am correct in thinking that we have to do his TM30 within 24 hours of his arrival and not our landlord? Thnx!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion centers around the responsibility of filing the TM30 form for a son arriving in Phuket for a two-week stay. Key points include: the landlord typically being responsible, but the 'possessor' (in this case, the son) can file it with proper documentation; the necessity of a power of attorney in Phuket; contrasting rules regarding TM6 and TM30; and opinions on whether reporting is necessary for short stays.

As this discussion about TM 30 can be found many times on this page and there is nothing to contribute more than already given information I close the commenting.

My wife just did this at HQ Bangkok immigration @Lak Si (Chaeng Watthana) - they seem to be holding a 1 week timeline not 24 hours as I was over this, but again depends on the officer..

Point 3 on TM6 says only need to report if staying more than 90 days. This was the card I completed on arrival last month.

Anyone got any info/advice on this?

If you have a visa that allows you to stay longer than 90 days inside of Thailand you have to report to Immigration that you stayed these 90 days inside Thailand. Total different rule.

Yes, that this has totally nothing to do with reporting your address within 24 hours of arrival.

Well... if he's just coming for 2 weeks and leaving again, having no contact with immigration, no harm will come if you don't do it

 On second thought: Only if he goes to a night club that’s open after 2am, and he’s black.

 Well as he's only staying 2 weeks how will that affect him? You think Immigration will break down the door to arrest him?😄

 That is pretty true too :-) . But if they want baton down the hatches, then no harm in reporting.

Make sure you have the power of attorney of the land or house owner and the 10 Thb stamps before you make your way to Immigration in Phuket.

When we rented our condo in Phuket we could do it ourselves with a copy of the owners id and copy of house book but we also needed the owner to sign a power of attorney (only in Phuket apparently) She did it online in the end.

Not technically the landlord, the rule mentions "possessor" , which is you, so can go and file in your local office. It does NOT have to be the owner.

 as the rule states owner or possessor, I guess they acknowledge the fact they could be different.

. Just be forewarned: The interpretation of “possessor” is up for grabs at different offices. Udon defines it as owner only. You might check ahead of time with your local office.

Lloyd. Do you need the owners ID and housebook? Surely the "possessor" is the owner.

Technically your landlord as he is the owner of the property. You can do it on his behalf with copies of his ID card and house book.
