Hi All,

I have a query regarding TM30. I would checkout from my hotel this Friday and will move to my condo on same day. However my contract at Condo will be from 1st December, Monday (My land lady has allowed a two day free stay). So TM30 I need to do on Tuesday now. Will that create any issue at immegration now or at anytime in future?

Thanks in advance for all advices.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is concerned about submitting their TM30 notification after moving into their condo, specifically if doing so on Tuesday instead of immediately upon arrival will cause issues with immigration. Commenters indicate that the TM30 must be submitted within 24 hours of arrival, emphasizing that it is a notification of stay rather than lease commencement.

Just keep in mind the TM30 is a notification of stay, not a notification of starting a lease. Whether you are paying rent or not, you're staying there

Tod Daniels :O I did not know that at all! I was told differently by someone at immigration, but I'm guessing you're right.

keep in mind you CAN use a new lease to lead the immigration office to believe you just moved in. So if the lease is dated effective the 1st, and you go within 48 hours of that date you're fine.

The law: A foreigner has to be reported within 24 hours after arrival.

Who your landlord is, where she/he lives, works, if you pay rent to him/her or owner or agency, if you are friends relatives, what kind of visa you have or what ever issue you can think of. The rule stays the rule and there is only ONE thing: Within 24 hours after arrival.
