Can I apply for a TM30 registration myself if I'm not in Thailand yet?

You don’t have the documents needed, but you can help the owner to remember doing it.

Forget about doing things your own way, and just do it as it is supposed to be done, and thereby avoid problems.

you can as well use the official tm30 from immigration. They improved it a while ago and it is easy to do. The first time I used it after having applied for a userid and pw I had to supply copies of my wife's Thai id and housebook. The web site tells you that - no problems

You can actually set up your own user account on the immigration system.. and can file your own TM30's with your Landlords co-operation.. but you need to be in country to do it.. because you won't be recognisable in the system until you enter Thailand and your passport is registered at the airport or border of entry.. it's also a declaration of your place of residence here.. where immigration can go to find you.. which it clearly won't be until you actually reach the stated accommodation.. however, assuming your Landlord is a Thai individual.. you will need a digital copy of their National Identity Card (front and back) and also the main page of their Blue Book for the property.. since only the person who is named in the blue book can register a TM30 for guests staying at the property.. or facilitate a TM30 registration in this manner.. so the names on both docs has to match and that address has to relate to the place where you will be residing.. a colour photograph of said documents is sufficient for uploading to the TM30 system.. but remember, if you travel around Thailand and stay in a hotel or guest house they will automatically register you as a guest there.. so if you later return to your original accommodation you will need to re-register on the TM30 system for that accommodation.. which is relatively easy since it will have maintained the records you previously uploaded to simplify the registration.. and you won't have to involve your Landlord.. the same applies if you do a border run and return to the same accommodation a few days later.. but if you move to a new place which is privately owned you will need to add that property to the system.. and then upload the relevant documents pertaining to your new Landlord.. in order to file an effective TM30.. and lastly always take a screenshot or photograph of the acknowledgement page at the end of the process for future reference.. though once the application has been accepted you should be able to go back into the system and find a certificate for your registration.. which you can save as a 'pdf' file on your device or get printed to carry with your passport.. hope that helps your understanding my friend.. enjoy your stay in the land of smiles 😁

Don"t use 3rd party web sites to register such personal info. Only use the official government site which is easy enough to use.

The owner of the house must report!
