TM30 Notification in Thailand — Landlord Duty Explained
TM30 is the notification of a foreigner's residence. The legal duty sits with the house owner, landlord or accommodation manager, who must report when a foreigner stays. Hotels usually file automatically. Foreigners are often asked for the TM30 receipt at immigration, so keep a copy.
