The TM30 form is a mandatory document that property owners or hosts in Thailand must complete when hosting foreigners. This process is part of the immigration system and is used to keep Thai authorities informed about the movement of foreigners in the country. The reporting obligation must be fulfilled within 24 hours of the foreigner’s arrival at the place of residence.
2. Login and registration
If you do not have a user account yet, you must first register.
3. Uploading property ownership documents
After creating an account, you will need to upload documents that confirm your ownership of the property or the right to rent. Typically, these are the following documents:
Copy of the title deed.
Copy of the lease agreement, if you are renting the property.
4. Confirming registration and setting a password
After registration, you will receive an email with a link to confirm registration.
5. Filling in property information
In the next step, you must fill in the details of your property where the foreigner will be accommodated:
Address of the property.
Type of property and other details regarding ownership.
6. Filling in data about the foreigner
Then, you will fill in the details of the person you are accommodating. These details must exactly match the information specified in the passport and on the foreigner's arrival card:
First and last name (same as in the passport).
Passport number.
Arrival card number (TM6*).
Date of arrival of the foreigner in Thailand.
*The TM6 form is an arrival card that every foreigner fills out when entering Thailand. It contains important information such as name, passport number and date of arrival. This information is crucial for filling out the TM30, as without it, the foreigner cannot be properly reported to the Thai authorities. The TM6 card is attached to the passport upon arrival and it is important to keep it for the duration of your stay in the country, as it is also surrendered when leaving Thailand.
7. Confirmation of the report
After filling in all the information, submit the form. Based on the submitted report, you will receive a confirmation (so-called "return slip"), which you should keep. This document may be needed for further actions, such as visa extension or 90-day reporting.
