Late TM30 report

[prb]

Hi,

 

After staying in  a friend's condo for 10 days with no TM30 report, i will rent a studio in the same place and then go to do the paperwork at the immigration with the contract signed and dated of the same day.

 

Will they find out on their system that i was staying 10 days without reporting?

Assuming no TM-30 was filed on you since entering the country, they might ask where you were staying before - the time between your TM-6 entry-date and the date you are reporting your new residence.  If your friend did not report you staying with him, he was not in compliance with the TM-30 reporting requirements.

Only done one TM30 report in the past 6 years and that was only so I could get a residency cert' to renew my Thai drivers licences. The previous time was 6 years earlier and that was only so I could get a residency cert' to get my drivers licences.

It will depend upon the office your will be reporting to.

Even the most pedant would not say anything about the lack of one being done before you report your residence.

Say you stayed at hotels beforehand and as George costanza says,  if you really believe it. It must be true.
