TM30 in Thailand, Handled
TM30 is the notification of residence for foreigners. The house master, owner or manager of the place where you stay must report you to immigration within 24 hours of arrival. It is your landlord's duty on paper, but when it is missing, it is your 90-day report and your extension that get stuck. We check it, chase it and get it filed.

Frequently asked questions
What is TM30 in Thailand?
TM30 is the notification of residence for a foreigner. The house master, owner, possessor or manager of the place where a foreigner stays must report the stay to immigration within 24 hours of arrival. Hotel managers are normally the filing party.
Who has to file the TM30, me or my landlord?
Legally the house master, which usually means your landlord, the owner or the condo manager. In practice many foreigners help their landlord file it, because a missing TM30 tends to surface at their own 90-day report or extension.
Do I need a new TM30 after travelling abroad?
A new notification is required when you move. Some immigration offices also expect a new TM30 after a return from abroad, even to the same address. Practice varies by office, so we check what your local office currently requires.
What is the fine for not filing TM30?
The fine is charged to the house master for late or missed notification. Published figures for house masters range from 800 to 2,000 THB, and hotels reportedly face higher amounts. The bigger cost for you is usually a delayed 90-day report or extension.
Is TM30 the same as the 90-day report?
No. TM30 is the house master's notification of where you stay. The 90-day report, form TM47, is your own address report every 90 days of continuous stay. Both are covered on our compliance plan.
