Navigating Thailand: Your Guide to TM.30 with REMAX Thailand

Understanding the TM.30 Requirement

The TM.30 form is a mandatory notification required by Thai Immigration. It stipulates that house masters, owners, or possessors of residences in Thailand must inform the Immigration Bureau within 24 hours of a foreign national staying at their property. This applies to all types of accommodation, from houses and condos to apartments and guesthouses.

Key Things Foreign Residents Should Know About TM.30:

Triggered by Arrival & Change of Residence: A TM.30 report is necessary upon your initial arrival in Thailand and, importantly for property seekers, every time you change your place of residence within the Kingdom. This means moving into a new rental or a newly purchased property necessitates a new TM.30 filing.
Responsibility of the Property Holder: While you, as the foreign resident, provide the necessary information, the legal obligation to submit the TM.30 lies with your Thai landlord or the owner of the property where you are staying.
Information Needed: The form requires details about the property owner/possessor, your personal information (name, nationality, passport details, visa information, arrival date), and the full address of your accommodation.
Why It Matters: Non-compliance with TM.30 can lead to penalties for the property holder and potential inconveniences for you when dealing with immigration matters.
