I’m in and out monthly (from Suvarnabhumi airport). 

My Wife & I rent. I’m not sure if im

respsible for the TM30 or the landlord.

I’ve never submitted a TM30 within 24hrs of my return of otherwise... 

with various travel & holidays etc I’d have to do it about 20 time per year. 

Its not once been mentioned at immigration upon departure at Suvarnabhumi Airport. 

I’m wondering if times are changing or if this is a bit of hot air. 

Many immigration offices do not ask for a TM30 form unless you change addresses.

Immigration at an airport would never ask about it since it is not their responsibility to enforce them.

Only partially right, a lot of us part timers (Tourists) own condo's in Thailand, if you own your place, you need to go yourself to immigration and report your address, if you're renting the Mgt does it, sometimes for a price.

 

I was referring to tourists, not condo owners. If you own a condo, and are visiting your property, you’re not a tourist.

 

You are right that, as the owner, you should report yourself, but the law was not written with the intention for foreigners to self report. This law is meant as a way for a third party to confirm to immigration that a foreigner is staying at their property. Property ownership has moved on and the immigration Act is yet to catch up.
