Notification of Residence for Foreigners in Thailand

According to the Immigration Act B.E. 2522, Section 38, the owner of a house or property or hotel manager who accepts a foreigner that has been permitted to stay in Thailand temporarily must report to the officer at the Immigration Office in the area where the house, property or hotel is located within 24 hours from the time the foreigner arrives.

In reporting the residence or accommodation of foreigners, such as in hotels licensed under the Hotel Act, guesthouse, mansions, apartments, condominium units, general establishments or rental houses, the owner of the said residence or business operator must notify the Immigration office using Form TM.30.

For properties located in Bangkok, one must notify the Immigration Bureau Division 1 at the Government Complex in Chaengwattana. For those located in provincial area, one must notify the Provincial Immigration Office.
