Hey, all
US passport. 1 year multiple entry Non O visa. Last stamp expired in April, Visa expired September 1st.
Going tomorrow with my wife and son to *hopefully* file a TM30 and also get the 60 day Thai family extension. I have not previously had a 60 day family extension.
I was at Chaeng Whattana a couple weeks ago to get all the handouts and requirements for everything, spoke to a woman at the information counter who was very helpful, looked at all my stuff and said it would all be no problem.
My question is that...while she had told me I would need to go to Muang Tong Thani for the TM30, she kind of left me feeling like (she didn't explicitly say, and I didn't think to ask at the time) I would then have to come to Chaeng Whattana to get the 60 day family extension. Now I'm seeing posts here saying that you apply for the 60 day extension at MTT, not Chaeng Whattana, Is this the case? I'm also seeing the posts about all the appointments being booked for the week already...I didn't even know you needed an appointment, the woman at Chaeng Whattana didn't mention that, she just said to go anytime. If this is a problem and they won't let me apply, CAN I go to Chaeng Whattana to apply for the 60 day extension or can it only be done at MTT?
Lastly, while I've got everyone's attention, concerning the TM30; My wife and I stay in an apartment with the rental agreement in her name. When asking about TM30 requirements at Chaeng Whattana I was told that in this situation my wife would be acting as the owner since she was the, 'owner of the contract' and that she would just present her ID and documents and then report me as a foreigner staying with her. I had never heard of it being done that way (have never filed a TM30 before myself) but the woman I spoke with seemed very sure that it can be done this way and said we would not need any documents from the actual owner of the apartment building...anyone in a similar situation and can confirm or deny this?
TIA guys.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking clarification on the process for applying for a TM30 and a 60-day Thai family extension. They were told that the TM30 must be filed at Muang Tong Thani (MTT) but are unsure if the 60-day extension for their Non-O visa can also be processed there or if it must be done at Chaeng Whattana. They also ask about the TM30 filing process when the lease is under their wife's name, and if she can report the user as a tenant.
