What surprises me is that from what I have heard it is not that difficult to submit the form since it can even be done online and it's free. So I don't fully understand why hosts don't just do it.. Its not like it's difficult to do. Maybe they just want to earn some extra money from confused tourists

Thank you so much! We actually attended immigration without it at first, and we weren't fined, because we said we didn't know we needed this information and we will try to reach the hosts in order to get it.

Thank you for that, Noah. We asked our host for the copies, but they said they refuse to provide them. Edit: The only option they give us is to file the Form themselves for 1600baht

Oh wow, thank you guys for those many replies! We were really worrying about the entire process and preparing to pay our hosts, even tho it feels like they are taking advantage of us.. Our permit expires on February 1st and we are in Pattaya so we will go to the immigration office in Jomtien. We are trying to call up a hotel nearby to ask them if they file the TM30 and provide us with a copy of it, to make sure this goes smoothly. Someone warned us that we might have to pay a late submission penalty, do you think this is likely?

Hi, We recently found out that our condo host did not file tm30. Before we didn't know that exists, so we didn't ask for it. Now we want to extend our visa exemption and this is becoming an issue. Our hosts asks us for 1600 Baht in order to file the TM30, but we have heard that other people just went to a hotel that does the TM30 properly a night before the extension. Now im wondering: if we do that, will we get in trouble for having a 'gap' in our tm30 report history?
