No questions for TM30 form..?

Were you staying at a hotel??

Sabai lodge is a hotel. In which case they would have registered you. For private residence it is different as the landlord or yourself have to submit the TM30. Could be a fine in your future...supposed to be Landlord....but then the Landlord doesn't need the extension does he..!!

By card do you mean arrival card?? Yes this is the TM30 registration of address form. They will only ask for it if making a report or extesnsion. Everyone says.....Oh the Landlord needs to do that.....but the Landlord is not making a visa extension are they.....better to do it ourselves I reckon....I move around a lot....so my Lanlord would not be able to keep up..!!

Yes I have done the same. But then they have never held the 24hr thing against me before like they are doing now to a lot of people in some offices. Anyways I will be going in to check next week....so lets see and I will report.

hotels, guest houses all do it....BKK doesn't need it.....and you only have an issue when extending. If not going into an office then no issue.

Thats why I said she ' needs to BE registered' and not she needs to register herself. BUT it is her responsibility to check that the Landlord will register her as many don't. So when the tenant goes for the extension, and it was not submitted within 24 hours, they get fined on the spot and have to register the TM30 themselves(as you indicated). (which has been happening very regularly at some offices). If you assume the Landlord submitted it then you will have issues at extension time.

If you have not done it and you go for an extension they may fine you 1600 baht...or more...I think max is 5000. BKK no need.

In that case tell Landlord to register you with a TM30 form if you are worried, at the local immigration office. Can't do it at the airport as far as I know. Can download beforehand and fill it out. Should be the Landlord but many tenants end up doing it themselves.

If you will not be in a hotel you need to be registered at the adress you will stay or they may fine you when you go for the extension.
