"Attention to Some Entry Requirements for Thailand"

Thai immigration law stipulates that landlords must report the accommodation details of foreign tenants to the Immigration Bureau or local police station within 24 hours of their arrival, either through an online system or by submitting the TorMor 30 form. Failure to comply may result in a fine of up to 2,000 Thai Baht. Detailed procedures can be found on the official website of the Thai Immigration Bureau.

Many people who enter Thailand without a visa do not have accommodation records, especially those who travel frequently. The system can easily detect this. Once it is discovered that someone has entered multiple times without a visa but has no accommodation records, it is very likely they will be stopped at customs.

If you are on a short trip and staying in a hotel, the hotel will upload the information for you, so there is no need to worry. If you are renting a place for a long-term stay, remember to register yourself or ensure your landlord does so timely. Without accommodation registration, even if you reside long-term, the system will consider you as not having legal proof of residence after entry, which poses a significant risk.

In short, whether you are traveling or living long-term in Thailand, it is crucial to ensure that you have registered your accommodation to avoid problems when entering or leaving the country.
