Will I need to file a new TM 30 if I move to a different place in Thailand?

ORIGINAL POSTER
My wife has enrolled for Thai classes which requires a TM 30. The place we were staying at the time could not or would not help us. We have recently moved to a new place and the school says the TM 30 info they gave us is good.

However, the new place is a nightmare and we want to move again at the end of the month. Will we need to get a new TM 30 when we change places? It feels like nobody wants to give the information when you ask for it.

TLDR : Answer Summary
When you move to a new address in Thailand, you will need to file a new TM 30 form since it is address-specific. This means that either you or your landlord must submit a new TM 30 to register your residency at the new location.

We are done, I messaged you about your situation
@Marc ******
check your message requests.

a TM30 is address specific so when you move you (or your land lord) will file a NEW TM30 saying you now stay at xxx address.

TECHNICALLY, a landlord must file a TM30 no later then 24 business hours after a person starts staying at a location. However, different immigration offices have different policies about the TM30. The person who almost always gets fined is the person who is renting the place.

So will we need to provide a new TM 30 to immigration after the ED visa is approved if we move?

You need to get TM30 receipt when you move the place you are staying. That TM30 receipt would be required for your wife's Non-ED visa and the following extensions.

The property owner should do the TM30, and they will give you a copy :)
