TM30 and Address Reporting for Thai Spouse Visa Holders

What TM30 Reporting Covers

Thailand’s accommodation-notification system records where a foreign national is staying. Responsibility generally rests with the house owner, possessor, landlord, or accommodation provider, although the foreign resident often needs proof that reporting was completed.

Why It Matters for Spouse Applications

Immigration applications depend heavily on address consistency. The address shown in the application, household evidence, maps, photographs, bank records, and accommodation report should not conflict without explanation.

Moving to a New Address

Before filing after a move, confirm which office has jurisdiction and whether a fresh accommodation notification or other address update is required. Keep rental agreements, owner identification, house-registration copies, and receipts or confirmations when applicable.

Returning From Travel

Reporting practice after domestic or international travel can change and may vary by circumstances. Ask the responsible immigration office or accommodation provider what is required for your return.

Keep Clear Records

Retain screenshots, receipts, appointment records, and copies of any address filings. These records can help resolve discrepancies during an extension or 90-day reporting process.
