What is TM30?
TM30, also called “Notification from House-Master, Owner or the Possessor of the Residence where Alien has Stayed”, is a form used by the Immigration Department for property owners (landlords/home owners/hotels) to report any foreigners staying on their property within 24 hours of arrival. This is required by Thai law, the Immigration Act of 1979 Section 381.
Normally, every hotel in Thailand follow such reporting system (hence, a person is required to provide a passport for the hotel every time ones checks in). On the other hand, although the notification has been enacted for quite sometime, it has been rarely enforced for landlords and home owners until these recent years. This has brought attention to tenants, especially the foreign tenants who wish to extend their visa since they will be requested to provide TM30.
Who is responsible to submit TM30?
The property owners are responsible for this notification to the officials within 24 hours and failure to do so can result in a penalty fee of up to 10,000 baht. However, they are no longer required to resubmit TM30 every time foreigners leave the property temporarily and return. Just only on the arrival and final departure at the property.
Where to submit TM30?
The form must be submitted in person at the local immigration office where the property is located. However, we need to warn you that it might take days when it comes to dealing with local authorities. Alternatively, one can submit by post, via the Section 38 Android or iOS application (subject to the requirements of the immigration office), or online at www.immigration.go.th. The latter case is recommended as it is significantly more convenient.
