I'm checked into China garden. I've been asking if the staff will file the tm30. I've been getting a blank stare. They tell me to contact the new owner which I have done. But no reply. Yuri always took care of that. But I'm thinking I better do it myself. Can somebody direct me to DIY list. Or just explain how to do it. Thanks

If you're only here for a short holiday and will not be extending your stay, don't sweat the TM30. If you are on a long stay, this is the topic you'll want to read.

I'll be here 90 days. So. It needs to be filed. I've looked for an app to do the filing. But coming up blank.

It’s the owner’s responsibility not yours BUT if they won’t do it then go to Immigration at Jomtien yourself. Pretty sure you’ll need something from the guesthouse though? Maybe a copy of your booking will do. It will need full address details. Copy of passport details, entry stamp, departure card etc as well I think.
 

If a hotel or guesthouse won’t file TM30s then you’re best avoiding them in future. 

I agree with you about the hotel responsibilty. But other posts have indicated immigration doesn't really care. They're going to fine the person in front of them not the hotel.

Yes, which is why I said you should go to Immigration yourself. If you arrived today then go tomorrow at the latest. Maybe best not to dress like a beach bum when you do.

No, they will fine both.

On my trip end of last year , on arrival i asked my Hotel in Patts about the TM 30 form and reception knew nothing about it .    It was not mentioned either when i checked in at hotels in  Chiang Mai , Krabi and Bangkok in quick succession . 

Maybe admin deals with it at hotels and not front desk ? ?

Thave most probably done it but dont know the name as tm30 as if they have reported your stay to immigration of the houstmasers form.

Do you need to go to immigration at some point if no then dont bother doing anything.
