TM.30 Address Notification Explained

TM.30 tells Thai immigration where a foreigner is sleeping. It is the legal duty of the landlord or property owner — but missing it can block your visa extension.

Summary

  • TM.30 must be filed within 24 hours of a foreigner moving in or returning from abroad.
  • Legally the landlord files it, but in practice expats often have to do it themselves.
  • Fine for missing TM.30: THB 800 – THB 2,000.
  • No valid TM.30 receipt = visa extension and 90-day report can be refused.

When to re-file TM.30

  • Every time you change address in Thailand.
  • Every time you return to Thailand from an international trip.
  • Some immigration officers want one before every 90-day report and extension.

How to file

  1. Online via the immigration TM.30 portal (landlord account required).
  2. In person at Chonburi Immigration in Jomtien with the landlord's house book and ID.
  3. Through a visa agent — we file TM.30 for clients on every long-stay case.
