TLDR : Answer Summary
In Thailand, the regulation states that the TM.30 residence report must be submitted within 24 hours of arrival at your local address, not from your arrival in Thailand. Although there are no strict checks, it's crucial to have this report completed to ensure compliance for any immigration office visits or visa extensions. It's acceptable to submit the report later, and you should not panic if you are late in reporting.

As a foreigner, you can never be doing anything right in Thailand

Rules and regulations change hourly !!

In theory within 24 hours, but there are no checks so any time seems ok. Major requirement is to have a valid one for any immigration office visits eg extensions etc

You can report anytime, do not panic if you report "late"

If you mean TM.30 submission, the regulation says you have to submit within 24 hours from the time of arrival to the address. <- not from arriving in Thailand.

Check TM.30 online system. There is a User's Manual (in EN and TH) from the link at the bottom of the login window.
