What is the Process for Submitting a Late TM30 Notification?

The process for submitting a late TM30 notification is the same as the standard process: you can report online through the Immigration Bureau’s system, send it by post, or submit it in person at the Immigration Bureau.

The Specifics

• The TM30 must normally be submitted by the landlord, property owner, or accommodation provider within 24 hours of a foreigner’s arrival.
• There is no separate procedure described for late submissions; the same three channels apply whether the report is on time or late.
• Failing to meet the 24-hour deadline can result in a maximum fine of THB 10,000 imposed on the lessor or hotel operator.
• Tenants should still supply their passport, visa details, arrival card (TM6), and lease agreement promptly to help the landlord complete the report.
• Late or missing TM30 notifications by the landlord may also create complications for the tenant’s future immigration processes.
