Does your tenant inviting a friend to stay a few nights infringe the law ?

The foreigner friend does not have a local address.  He is coming straight from the airport.

 

It's my responsibility as house owner to submit TM30 for him as well, but for a few days ?  I suspect I would be in breach of the Hotel Act.

 

Of course, whether my tenant collects a fee from the foreigner friend is another issue.

What address would he put on his immigration form at the airport?

 

Would this become more difficult when the digital TM6 starts, TDAC ?

As landlord, I'm responsible for the TM30 submission if I rent it out to the tenant for 30 days or more.

 

What if the tenant decides to accommodate a foreigner friend for a few nights ?  Is that an infringement of any provisions of the Hotel Act ?

 

I think you think too much...

What does the Hotel Act say about it?

In principle any foreigner staying should be registered with a TM30. If it's a private guest – not a paying customer – it should not be a problem doing a TM30-report.

We live North of Chiang Mai and have a motel and apartments which my Thai wife manages.

Most of our guests and tenants are Thai but we occasionally do have foreigners as occurred recently.

I was overseas and we had a young French guy rent for two months as he has a Thai girlfriend.

My wife was a day late lodging the TM30 form as she had to take our sick daughter to hospital in Chiang Mai where she was kept in overnight

The recently appointed officious Immigration person fined her 2000 baht for being a day late.

Wasn’t interested in the reason for the delay.

Sometimes doesn’t pay to do the right thing.
