The place of entering ihram for one who resides before the miqat

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I live about thirty kilometers from the Noble Makkah and I want to perform 'Umrah. Where should I enter ihram? Is it from my place of residence, or from where?

Answer:
One whose home is before the miqat adjacent to him enters ihram from his place. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, when the miqats were mentioned:
and whoever is living within these boundariesومن كان دون ذلك
Sahih al-Bukhari 1524
So his place of entry is from his home, meaning from his place. Yes.
