Can my Thai girlfriend handle the TM30 registration for me when I move?

why would they visit you at home? To check what? 😲 then you obviously have some aura around your appearance which makes the Immigration officers think that you are hiding something from them 😎😂😎😂

@Andreas ********

standard IO procedure in both Bangkok and Kanchanaburi.

They check that you are actually living there and speak with your neighbours to verify. As for aura etc... that's all in your head, best of luck with that.

@Lyndon ***********

you are the first person iI ever heard or read of, in my 12+ years of visa advice, who gets paid a visit by Immigration when applying for a retirement extension in Bangkok. . . . If you take a minute of time to reconsider, you might see what I clearly see: why would any Immigration officers voluntarily throw themselves into the throngs of the busy traffic in Bangkok, just in order to verify where the applicant lives? What - of ANY importance - would the neighbours know about this guy? As far as I know, this procedure only applies to married Thai/Farang couples. . . . Well I promise, I am gonna believe you, as soon as I find a second person who can confirm this.

@Andreas ********

12 years, and still a lot to learn...

@Lyndon ***********

well, this was not a typical EOS but a "change of visa type" from a TR visa to a 90-days Non-O visa. Maybe the applicant didn't have a valid TM30 so Immigration decided to visit. LIKE I SAID: it is absolutely NOT the standard procedure

@Andreas ********

blocked... Goodbye

@Andreas ********

there's plenty of examples on various visa FB groups. What's with the ad hominem argument? Is that your level, name calling. Well done to you...I don't tell immigration what to do... Perhaps you should take it up with them.

@Lyndon ***********

any reason why all the sudden Immigration starts this practise? Linked to the planned tax ? Myself for the past 16 years do not live in the house I got a yellow housebook for. However everybody who lives in my registered home is instructed what to tell Immigration should they surprisingly visit. I will be on a holiday trip in Thailand! 😂😂😂😂 you got a lot to learn.

but not on retirement extension. Maybe on a married/family extension. The OP is NOT married to a Thai

@John *******

did you have a TM30 to get your non-O visa? You should be able to use the same one. They don't expire unless you leave Thailand or use an immigration office that's very strict about domestic travel and TM30.

The worst that can happen is they send you away until you get an updated TM30 and fine you 800 or 1600 baht.

@John *******

yes if you changed address you'll need a new TM30.
