KhunFred Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I have moved to another apartment in the same condo complex. An exhausting move followed by sickness. It's been nearly three weeks in the new place and now I see that I am required to file a change of address within 48 hours. Any idea what kind of fine I can expect for this?

DrJack54 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 OP, I suggest you do nothing esp as your address is same apart from room #. Continue your 90 day reports online with current information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he lives in a condo his "house number" has changed, it's the same as if you move to another house down the street, definitely a very different address.

worgeordie Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 So if he does not need a TM28 to change his address, what form No. does he need, as he will surely need a form to notify change of address ? regards Worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The correct from now it a TM27 form. But immigration would still accept a TM28 form since they may not have a TM27 form. A said most office only want a TM30 report now.

In quite a few years in Thailand i never felt the need to notify immigration about where i stayed. Once in Udon Thani they asked me to complete a TM28 when my girlfriend submitted a TM30 for me, so i did them this favor (due to me being on a tourist visa back then i didn't have any obligation to do it), this was before it was abolished for basically everybody. We still have form TM27 for the case that you can not stay at the place as indicated on your arrival card (i have never heard of anybody who was asked to complete this, probably due to the wording "can not" in the law, so if you just don't want to stay at the place you don't have to submit this form, which makes it basically unenforceable) and there is form TM30 for the landlord or possessor (this could of course be the alien himself) to notify if an alien is staying on their premises.
