TM.30 Service

Under the latest relaxed rules, if the foreign national still has a lease at the original residence, a short domestic trip followed by a return to the same place does not require a new TM.30 — unless they have left Thailand and flown back in.

Yes, a new notification is required every time. Because the entry stamp number (TM.6) or the arrival record in the immigration computer system changes to a new entry, the house master must file a new TM.30 so that it matches the latest stamp.

Yes. The Thai partner or spouse, as the "house master" (per the house registration), is required to report the foreign national's stay within 24 hours, just as with a rented condo.

Nothing further is needed. The hotel's system sends the data to the immigration cloud automatically. The foreign national can ask the hotel front desk to print a confirmation slip as evidence.

The status must show as approved, and you must be able to download and print the "List of Alien staying in premises" document. At that point it is considered complete.

Immigration officers need around 1-3 working days to review the title deed and house registration documents first. If the documents are unclear, the system will reject the request and you will need to upload them again.

Take a screenshot of the system outage or error as evidence, and file the notification as soon as the system is back up — or use ethaivisa's direct paper submission service on the next working day.

The owner can sign a Power of Attorney and send a scanned copy to a representative, the juristic person (building management) or ethaivisa, who can then file the notification with immigration on their behalf.

It should name every foreign occupant. If a spouse or children are also staying but are not named in the lease, immigration will ask for additional proof of relationship, such as a translated marriage certificate or birth certificate.

You need copies of both the front page of the title deed (showing the deed number) and the back page (showing the endorsement stamp of the latest owner).

The 90-Day Reporting system pulls address data from the TM.30 system. If the TM.30 system has no record of that foreign national, their 90-Day Report — whether online or at the counter — will be rejected immediately.

Yes. Although premium visa holders are exempt from certain procedures, the TM.30 requirement under Section 38 is a security regulation that all foreign nationals and all types of accommodation must comply with equally.

If immigration carries out a spot check, the Airbnb owner will be fined under the law, and the foreign national may face problems when dealing with government offices or extending their visa at immigration.

When the new condo owner files TM.30 at the new address, the immigration system will automatically update your new address, replacing the old one. There is no need to file a move-out at the old address.

The foreign national can take their lease, water and electricity bills and passport to the local immigration office in person to explain the situation, so that officers can issue a letter requiring the landlord to take action.

The house master can log into the online system at any time to re-print the Confirmation slip, or ethaivisa can take the documents to immigration to request a new copy.

Yes, it needs to be updated so that the new passport number in the TM.30 system matches the current passport before you apply to transfer your visa stamp.

Yes, they must also be listed in the TM.30 system as residents, together with their parents or guardians.

We take the hassle out of preparing documents, liaise with and persuade house masters, and resolve online system outages, with our Liaison Officers handling matters directly at the local immigration office to obtain a correct acknowledgement as quickly as possible.

Because a single TM.30 error can trigger a domino effect, causing the main visa of a foreign executive or employee to lapse and damaging their residence record. The ethaivisa team rigorously checks every detail of the title deed, lease and passport, and files everything correctly in line with legal requirements, helping foreign nationals live in Thailand as smoothly and safely as possible.
