TM30

[fondue zoo 415]

We recently moved to a new residence and the owner has now informed us they want nothing to do with TM30 reporting.

Our last registration was done online with no problems, CW occasionally asked for the owners blue book and a signed ID photocopy both of which we were given.

 

Is there any way around this problem? We would rather not move again if possible. CW doesn't accept the possessor of the lease agreement option, it's the owner's blue book and ID or nothing.

Ask the owner for a signed copy of their ID card and house book.

General rule is to make that requirement before you sign a rental agreement.

Yes it was, but now all of a sudden they don't want to involve themselves with it after speaking to their accountant, or so we were told.

Did you sign a contract with them as a foreigner?

 

Few options.

 

Tell them you will be Reporting them to tax department.

 

Find another place (the market is flooded and if owners are not flexible there is plenty to choose from)

Little point in telling them that.  TM30 & they will be telling the tax mob them selves.

There is nothing to say that TM30 data goes to the tax office, a TM30 can be for an owner, a friend not paying any rent, a husband etc, it doesnt automatically mean a property is being rented out.

Its that sort of misinformation that has Thais reluctant to do TM30s

You are wrong.

Immigration does not report anything to the revenue department and they have told people that did not want to do the report for that reason.

I've made the TM30 registration process part of my move-in procedures. A landlord who fails to sign the form and provide me with the requisite copies when the contract is being signed neither gets my signature nor my deposit. Their choice. So far, no issues, but I've read too many reports such as this one over the years.

It still has to be done in certain cases. Dependent upon the type of visa or extension you have they are not required unless you change your address that immigration has on file.

Hotels and etc are still doing them.

No. Even if you exit Thailand and return to same place your living you would not do a TM30

I thought it was a legal requirement for the owner to provide/assist with the TM.30 but may be wrong...

Hi. I had the same problem. I went to immigration with all my paperwork and informed them the building owner refused. They helped me, gave me proof and that was that. I did give the the requested additional info

You could try giving immigration the owners phone number and get them to phone the owner. You never know till you try. Always keep several signed copies of their ID and bluebook in future.
