Edited to add new context:

Evidently Chaengwattana does NOT typically need a TM-27 (despite the comments below). The situation that makes this different is that I have not filed a 90 day report at my new home in Bangkok (because I've left the country multiple times and not stayed long enough for a 90 day report) so my last 90 day report from last year still reflects my old address. That's the cause of the situation and need to return next week.

Saw a related topic and thought I'd share a cautionary tale from today's visit to Chaengwattana. Error on my part, hopefully will get it worked out. Hadn't heard of this happening before, but I'm sure it has. Immigration officer said I was the second person today with a similar experience. Had been living in Hua Hin for a couple years then started to split my time with a place I rented in Bangkok.

Did the last two extensions of stay in Hua Hin (over 50, non-O). Last year, I left my place in Hua Hin and have been living exclusively in Bangkok. Did the Bangkok TM 30 once I moved for good, but did not file a change of address TM-27 (cue foreboding music).

Today I tried to get a new extension. Had every bit of paperwork I thought was necessary, but got caught out on not having done the address change and asked why I wasn't going to the Hua Hin office for my extension. Explained I hadn't been living there for almost a year and showed them my Bangkok rental contract and TM 30.

They asked for my last rental contract and TM 30 for my place in Hua Hin (which miraculously I had with me).

All ended up with them asking me to write a letter to the supervisor explaining my move, apologizing and asking for their consideration. Have to go back next week (with freshly updated bank letter, transaction record and bank book since it'll be beyond the 7 day period of the previous letter) to see if the extension was approved by the supervisor.

Sooo... Chaengwattana definitely appears to need the TM-27 filed if you move provinces.

Okay, so I was approved for the DTV. Is there any reporting I need to do for my residence (I have a lease that I started when I was on a tourist visa)? Do I need up update my landlord regarding my new visa status?

Just read an article that in May 20 25, they are re-implementing the TM6. It will be a digital version and will be up to you to keep it up-to-date as you change residence during your stay in Thailand. The article also said that it will eventually replace the TM 30. So all in all I guess it’s a good thing. They also said everyone no matter what type of visa you are on will be required to keep an update TM6 digital copy. And of course, failure to do so will result in fines or penalties. This is as per the Pattaya Mail

How long do you have to report residence after arrival ? Yes I know the property owner has to do it but my lady has never done it so getting all the info sorted so we get it right Thanks

TM30 question.

Living in Bangkok, heading to Phetchabun for New Year, stay in a motel. (TM30 completer by motel operator)

When returning to Bangkok, does my wife have to complete a TM30 when we return home?

She is telling me that I don't have to.

TM30 Question.

So I recently returned from Thailand after saying a couple of months at a friends. I had no idea about the TM30 at the time and only been reading up on it now.

I know one wouldn't have been filed for me for my 2 month stay. And I will plan to return in a few months, can this cause any issues for me? Or just a genuine mistake.

Obviously I now know better this time around.

Is it correct that you only need to do a new Tm30 if you leave Thailand? Traveling within Thailand does not require you to do so.

Tm30 advice.

I’m coming to Thailand on Wednesday, 30 day visa exempt. My wife rents her apartment. The landlord has no idea about the tm30 reporting. So, I’m going to head to the immigration office on Thursday with my wife. What information will she need to bring with her?

Thanks.

TM30

I'd like to share my experience from today, if it's nothing new feel free to delete:

I went to muang thon thani immigration office today because after sending my tm30 twice via post without receiving the receipt i decided to go in person and ask them about it. They asked me for the tracking number but i had not kept the receipt from the post office but the lady was so kind as to check in the computer. She said i did tm30 last year already and wouldn't have to do it again. But since the last time i had left the country and stayed in various hotels (longest for two weeks in quarantine) that should have submitted a tm30 which would require to submit a new one after returning to my apartment. By the way, prior to the submission via post i called the immigration hotline and asked for specific information about how to successfully do it per post and where to send it to but still didn't succeed.

I entered Thailand with a 60-day tourist visa, got a 30-day extension (which expires today) and then a 60-day covid extension that expires in November.

When I applied for the covid extension, a note was attached to my passport saying that they have received a notification of staying in Thailand for more than 90 days (it was after ~2 months of my stay in Thailand), although I just applied for the covid extension and not a 90-day report. The note also says I need to report my address on November 10th.

Has my first 90-day stay been reported, or I need to go again to the immigration office to sort it out?

Thanks!
