elviajero Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Someone should report your arrival at the property using form TM.30. However, the enforcement of this report differs across the country. Where are you staying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuketrichard Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 i did not know that tourists had to report their residency? Only those on extensions/long term visas. a TM 28 is change of residency.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve187 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 tm28 is for change of address, a tm30 is required to be submitted within 24 hours of arrival by the owner of the property as a tourist visa user you would only need a tm 30 to have been submitted if you come into contact with a local immigration office, as in the case of a 30 day extension. but all offices do not require this, where will you be staying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check with them about it. If not Pattaya immigration will allow you to do the report yourself. When you move you will only need to do another TM30. Immigration will not ask for the TM28.

Check that it was not done by the management before doing it yourself. Completed form. Download: TM30 Form Notification of aliens staying at a residence And a receipt for the room showing the address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect they may have somebody that handles things at the building. It may be a apartment building that has learned about using airbnb. The receipt should be good enough.

You don’t need to do anything. According to the law the owner, house-master, or possessor of the property is supposed to report your stay at their property, but in practice you/they don’t need to report that stay if it’s a short visit. Immigration are highly unlikely to be making spot checks of homes looking for foreigners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the office. But a copy of the owners ID and Tabien Baan (house registration book) are usually the documents asked for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuketrichard Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 copy of lease, Maybe a POA if the landlord can not go with ya,(phuket asks) it varies office to office.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stud858 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I go with TM30 form.passport and copies face and visa pages. Electric bill showing address and act as housemaster. Do it yourself and get a receipt in your passport. Go everytime you are away from your residence or first come in. The only way to be certain 100pc. Worst case is they will tell you not needed. If owner says they did it make sure you get receipt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the letter of the law she should submit a TM.30 report to immigration if renting to a foreigner, however, not all offices enforce this law. If the local office do enforce the law she could be fined up to 2,000 baht if it’s not done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the first report yourself. set the date so it's within 48hrs so you don't get fined. After that, let the Tennant know they are the house master and if they don't report they may be fined. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tennant is not the 'house-master' unless they are named as the house-master in the properties Tabian Baan, which they won't be. They could be classed as the 'Possessor' of the property. Some offices might accept a report from them in the capacity of Possessor, but in that case would probably insist on a copy of the owners Tabian Baan and ID.
