TM30 Isn't Optional in 2026 — Landlords Must Report, and Your File Feels It

In short

**TM30** requires accommodation providers to notify Immigration when a foreign national stays — usually within **24 hours** of arrival. In 2026, clean TM30 history still underpins smooth **extensions, 90-day reporting, and re-entry credibility**.

What's changing

Immigration Bureau rules continue to place TM30 responsibility on **hotels, condos, and landlords** (or their authorised agents) to report a foreign guest's stay at the registered address. Enforcement waves in 2026 increasingly surface **gaps between where you live and what Immigration has on file** — especially when tenants change apartments without a fresh TM30, use short-term Airbnb without hotel reporting, or landlords refuse to file. The guest can be caught between a lease and a missing report when extension day arrives.

Who is affected

**New long-stay arrivals** — confirm TM30 will be filed before you pay deposit; get written confirmation from condo juristic person or landlord. **Extension applicants** — address on your form must match latest TM30 chain. **Digital nomads moving monthly** — each move needs a new report; track receipts. **Marriage and retirement holders** living with in-laws — ensure the reporting party understands the obligation.

What you should do

Signing a lease? Ask us for a **TM30 checklist** with your visa class — or run the **free check** if you're unsure how housing choice affects extensions.
