The Chiang Mai Immigration Office for TM30 is open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The TM30 office is located near the copy shop at the back of the main building.

If it falls on a weekend or a public holiday, you can submit the report on the next business day.

As a property owner, here is the document you need.

  • a copy of the foreigner passport
  • a copy of the arrival card (if any)

For the homeowner who is inconvenient to report the TM30 in person at the immigration office. You can report online. Here are the steps to register and obtain the login details:

  • and prepare the documents for submitting the registration form. Basically, it is all the related documents with your house.
    • A scanned copy of the Thai house registration book, signed by the owner.

  • after you submit the form, you will receive the login details via your registered email. I received mine immediately after a successful registration.

Note:

Even though the immigration website or the information signs in front of the immigration office says the property owners can report TM30 by sending the mail from the post office or registering on the internet.
