Hey awesome people. Got my DTV thanks to this group. Just looking for confirmation that I got my head screwed on properly about some things.

1) 1st day of me landing in Thailand - that's Day 01 of 180, correct?

2) Whenever I reside in a new place, TM30 must be reported by the landlord, correct?

3) Day 90, I must report 90-day reporting - first time must be in-person, correct?

4) If I leave before Day 180, the second Day 90 reporting is NOT required, correct?

5) When I return, my 180 days will be reset... then my next Day 90 reporting must be in-person again, correct?

Thanks everyone!

My landlord (not tech savvy) is in a different province, and says she will do my TM30... in 3 weeks.

I need to do my 90-day report in 2 weeks. What can I do?

It's time to apply for a non o visa extension and I asked my landlord for a new TM 30 because I have been out of the country before. I was told that since I didn't notify the landlord that I have been out of Thailand and returned, I have to pay a fine to the landlord in order to get a new TM 30. Is this normal? Where are the rules listed that I must report to my landlord that I have been traveling? If I am in the wrong, how to calculate the amount of fine I have to pay and to whom? Thanks in advance.

Don’t forget to do your Tm30 when you arrive if your landlord or hotel has not done it for you.

And you will need to do 90 day reports at your local immigration.

My Sisaket immigration office was incredibly friendly and helpful.

I recently moved house and my new landlord has not yet completed a TM30 report (nearly a month)

Can anyone advise, what are the implications for me and for the landlord and what can do if they continue to not report?

Hi. Need some advice please. I have some friends arriving next week for a short stay. I have registered online for the TM30 (and in person last week) as a 'landlord' (and paid yet another fine - don't ask!). But I have yet to receive my password back from Immigration. And I doubt the password will arrive in time. My friends are not here for so long. Where can I register them quickly without wasting a day at Chang Wattana?? Is it possible to register anywhere else?

Hi guys, looking for some grounds on the TM 30 roles and responsabilities, as there seems to be a fair bit of general confusion.

What I read is that according to Thai Immigration Act of 1979, Section 38, its the duty of the landlord to report any foreigner staying in their hotel, apartment, premises, ect. Not the tenants responsability. Tenant must however notify the lanlord upon arrival and provide with copy of TM 6 and current visa stamp on the foreigners passport every time the tenants stays at the condo.

To make it more specific, lets say the case is a foreigner on a marriage visa renting a condo or a house.

When the time comes for the foreigner to do his/her 90 day report, Immigration will find out wether or not the landlord submitted the report within 24h of the tenants arrival, and if not, a fine will be due, which again according to the Law, the landlord should pay.

Till here all good or am I mistaken?

Now, if the condo agreement states that the TM30 filling up and submission relies on the tenant, not the landlord, who is then responsible for the TM30 submission?

Picture of contract below.

I understand the Law has more weight, however... not sure if the contract, even though signed, outweights the Law in this case?

This is the latest info a read about this:

Not wanting to beat a dead horse. Just sharing a visa related experience.

I was at the immigration office just this morning attempting to do my TM30 report since I came back into county on yesterday. I had copies of the TM30 signed by my land-lord with all of the necessary documents.

The immigration officers made it clear that my land-lord or a Thai person who has been given authority to do the report must do it. As a foreigner I can NOT make the report.

I was able to discuss this in much detail with the immigration officer. (I have lived in Thailand more than 30 years and I'm fluent in Thai.) I made it very clear to the immigration officer that I could not understand why if the TM30 report is not made, I will be fined. My land-lord is not fined. I will be the one who is not able to renew my visa, not my land-lord.

In other words, since this is my land-lord's responsibility, why am I the one who is penalized if the procedure is not followed? Still no answer.
