I tried to download the Section38 app to report TM30, and according to the Playstore it is not available in my region (I am in Thailand). Has this app been replaced by a new one?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is unable to download the Section38 app to report TM30, as it's not available in their region according to the Play Store. Comments suggest that app availability may depend on the account's region settings rather than the user's physical location. Additionally, some users mention that it's possible to report TM30 via the immigration website instead of using an app, although this process can be cumbersome.

This is what I encounter when I search the app

You don’t need an app to report. I use an immigration website. It works just fine.

Can that be done without copies of supporting documents though (e.g. lease)?

can be done but it's pain to register and site is cumbersome and often not working, phone much easier

sorry when you said reporting, I thought you meant the 90-day report. If you are reporting your change of residence, you can do it here—

Physical location is irrelevant. It matters what region or country your account is set to normally.

Not sure how the Playstore works but if it’s like the Apple App Store each region has its own apps (many are universal).

Apple App Store doesn’t care where you are but it depends on which country’s store you’re logged in to as to what apps are available.
