Residence Notification (TM. 30)
Address Registration

According to the 1979 Thai Immigration Act Section 38, every foreign national staying in Thailand must register their address at the local Immigration Office within 24 hours of arrival.

If you live on campus:

On behalf of PSU Phuket, IAC will register your address via the immigration website.

Required documents:

  • Passport
  • TM. 6 Departure Card

After you are registered, IAC will print out the online registration slip (figure 7) and staple it in your passport. You will need to have this in your passport at all times as proof of address registration.

If you live off-campus, you can report your address in the following two ways:

  1. In person

You and/or your landlord can register in person at Phuket Town Immigration Office at either Room 101 or the drive-thru service.

Required documents:

  • Completed TM. 30 application form
  • Copies of the following passport pages:
    • Detail page (front page)
    • Current visa/extension of stay
    • Last entry stamp
    • TM. 6 Departure Card
  • Signed copy of the landlord’s ID card
  • Signed copy of the property title deed (house book or Tabien Baan)
  • Signed copy of the rental agreement/contract
  • Power of Attorney Letter affixed with a 10-baht tax stamp if reporting on behalf of the landlord

After you have completed the registration, you will receive a Receipt of Notification taken from the bottom portion of the TM. 30 form. The immigration officer will staple this in your passport.

2. Online

Only your landlord can register you online when you move into the premises. Your landlord must set up an online account first and obtain a personal username and password at: https://extranet.immigration.go.th/fn24online/ to access the immigration’s online address registration portal. Be sure to ask for a screenshot/printout copy of the reporting slip (figure 7) and staple it in your passport. You will need to have this in your passport at all times as proof of address registration.

Address Registration Update

You must re-register your address within 24 hours of arrival when:

  • You exit and re-enter Thailand with a new TM. 6 Card

  • You move to a new place of residence

  • You are staying at a place other than your registered residence for any overnight stays, even for only one night. For example, if you went to Bangkok for the weekend and stayed in a hotel/guesthouse there, your stay for that weekend will be reported by the hotel/guesthouse owner. Once you return to your primary registered place, you need to update your address registration.

  • If you live on campus: Bring your passport and TM. 6 Card to IAC to be re-registered. IAC will print out a new reporting slip, replace the old ones, and staple it in your passport.

  • If you live off-campus, you can re-register in the following 2 ways:
  1. In person
    Go to the Immigration Office and fill out a new TM. 30 form there. The same documents previously stated in the address registration section are needed.
  1. Online
    Take your passport and TM. 6 Card to your landlord to be re-registered. Ask for the new screenshot/printout copy of the reporting slip, replace your old one, and staple the new one in your passport.

WARNING: You will be denied any services at the Immigration Office if you have failed to report your address within 24 hours of arrival and/or if your address registration is not up-to-date.
