Keep address proof next to visa dates
TM30 problems usually surface during another immigration task. EasyStay keeps address-related reminders visible with the rest of your Thailand admin.
TM30 residence notification
TM30 Thailand guide
TM30 is the residence notification tied to where a foreigner stays in Thailand. The official online manual frames it as a notification by house owners, heads of household, landlords, or hotel managers.
Section 38 material says the host, house owner, possessor, or hotel manager must notify local immigration within 24 hours from the foreigner’s arrival.
Track TM30 as part of the whole timeline
Address notification is easier to miss when it sits outside visa, 90-day, and document planning.
What matters most
- TM30 is about the address where a foreigner is staying.
- The legal duty is framed around the owner, housemaster, possessor, landlord, or hotel manager.
- The official online system supports individual notification and Excel import for larger volumes.
- You may still be asked for evidence of address notification during other immigration services.
Information the online flow expects
The official notify-residence flow asks for address and stay dates, plus passport number, name, nationality, gender, date of birth, and phone number.
For practical planning, treat TM30 as an address document that should be easy to find before any immigration visit.
Where people get caught out
- They assume the hotel or landlord handled it and never check.
- They move address and forget that immigration paperwork may depend on the current address.
- They keep the TM30 slip in a chat screenshot instead of with the rest of their documents.
Where EasyStay helps
- Keep address and document reminders beside visa deadlines.
- Add a reminder before planned extension or 90-day visits.
- Track different family addresses or household paperwork without a spreadsheet.
