TM30 Thailand

TM30 Thailand

Around mid-year of 2019 until now 2022, the Thai Immigration Office became strict about Residence Notification of the foreigners or what we call TM30 Thailand reporting.

This is because of the increasing numbers of expatriates avoiding Immigration rules and regulations which caused the Thai Immigration Office a lot of problems with recording and tracking the expatriates in Thailand.

One of the clear reasons why the Thai Immigration imposed the TM30 Reporting strictly is to make sure that the foreigners who are currently living in Thailand will abide by the rules and regulations of the Immigration and it will briefly help the Thai Immigration in improving their system as they will be able to track down and monitor expatriates here in Thailand.

TM30 is not just about knowing where the foreigner is currently living, it is also to make sure that there is a record on where was the foreigner’s last residence, this is to protect them and to make sure that that they will be under the radar of the Thai Immigration for protection.

And for the benefit of each foreigner, there may be some instances where bad things or criminals or accidents may happen, such instances where the foreigner were killed, lost or cannot find them, the government can check back where were last recorded for residence.

The things abovementioned are just few reasons why the TM30 is strictly imposed nowadays.

Foreigners should always see the silver lining on why the Thai Immigration is imposing this towards the expatriate community.

Please also note that the TM30 Thailand reporting is a separate duty as the 90 days reporting.

3. What is the effect if you are did not complete TM30 Thailand?

The TM30 Thailand or Residence Notification is a very important document that all foreigners must have while staying in the country. 

Notifying the Immigration is the landlord or landlady’s responsibility if there is any foreigner staying on his or her property within 24 hours that the foreigner arrived.

If the landlord or landlady failed to notify the immigration about the foreigners, he or she will have to be fined for 800 baht per foreigner staying on the property, remember that it is not the obligation of the foreigner to pay the penalty.

If the landlord or hotel or any accommodation failed to notify the Immigration there will be a penalty in accordance to Immigration Act B.E 2522 (1979)

Section 77. Whoever fails to comply with the provisions of Section 38, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding two thousand baht. If the person is a hotel manager, the punishment shall be by a fine from two thousand baht to ten thousand baht.”

The TM30 Thailand is required under Thai Immigration Law, and it will cause more problems if buildings are inspected, which is happening very frequently now. They are now asking for your TM30 when you report to immigration for your 90-day report, which obviously only applies to long stay visitors.

Moreover, if the landlord failed to Notify your residence, you cannot apply or renew your visa in Thailand.

This duty is created for the Landlord or processor, but it may affect you if the landlord ignores or does not cooperated to do this for you.

    Thanks for your posting on this web site. From my personal experience, periodically softening upward a photograph may possibly provide the wedding photographer with an amount of an imaginative flare. Many times however, that soft blur isn’t just what you had planned and can frequently spoil an otherwise good photo, especially if you thinking about enlarging the item.
