What is a TM30 in Thailand?
A TM30 is a notification telling Thai Immigration where a foreign national is staying. It is an accommodation report, usually submitted by the person responsible for the property shortly after the guest arrives.
TM30 reporting is separate from a Thai visa, the Thailand Digital Arrival Card and 90-day reporting. Completing one does not automatically complete the others.
Who must submit a TM30?
The housemaster, property owner, possessor or hotel manager responsible for the accommodation must notify Immigration. Hotels normally handle this for their guests. If you stay in a rented house or condominium, ask the landlord or property manager to confirm that your arrival has been reported.
A TM30 notification is generally required within 24 hours of the foreign guest arriving at the accommodation. Keep a copy or screenshot of the accepted notification, particularly if you expect to visit an immigration office.
How is a TM30 submitted?
The person responsible for the property can use the official online TM30 system. If they cannot use the portal, they should ask the local immigration office which other submission methods it currently accepts.
Our online TM30 guide explains the current portal in more detail.
Do you need another TM30 after travelling?
Requirements can depend on your accommodation and circumstances. If you have changed address, returned from travel or are unsure whether an earlier notification covers your current stay, ask the person responsible for your accommodation or your local immigration office to check. Do not rely on an old receipt without confirming that it matches your current address.
TM30 versus a 90-day report
A TM30 records a foreign guest’s accommodation. A TM47 90-day report is a separate address notification for a foreign national who remains in Thailand for 90 consecutive days.
