Who files TM.30 on an Airbnb in Thailand?

Not a hotel. Host is in another province. I need who files, not a reception desk.

Host, not the guest, on paper

Stay	Who files	Guest move
Licensed hotel	Hotel	Ask for the slip at check-in
Airbnb / private condo / friend’s spare room	Owner, landlord, or house-master, typically within 24 hours	Get the PDF / receipt. Copies of passport + stamp ready
You own the unit	You, once registered	The portal is not a guest app
Host will not file	That is a stay problem	Do not assume every office will let the guest file as a right

Immigration Act s.38 is a host duty. Some offices still want the slip at extension. Official: tm30.immigration.go.th. This is not legal advice.

District and whether the host is a company or a person.

Host files. Guest collects the PDF. If the host is a ghost, that listing is a stay problem before it is an immigration one.

Condo in Nimman: I have seen building management file. I have also seen an owner who had never heard of it. Ask before you pay the month.

Hotel forgot is the other post. Do not paste reception advice onto a Superhost in another province.

If you need the slip for an extension, you need it in hand, not “the host said they did it.”

I would message the host before arrival: TM.30, receipt, copies they need. If they dodge, book a hotel that files.

Phuket villas: same law, worse follow-through. I would not discover it the morning of the office.

Long stay / DTV: this becomes routine. A two-night Airbnb is still a filing. Host duty either way.

I am the guest, not the house-master. I can supply copies. I cannot log into their portal for them. That is the whole fork.

Paying an “agent” to file because the host will not is a cost. A hotel might be cheaper than that plus a refused extension.

First-time 10-day trip: hotel. Airbnb is how this thread starts. Not a moral, a morning.

A friend’s spare room is the same duty as an Airbnb. House-master files. Get the paper before you treat it as a home.
