ORIGINAL POSTER

Headed to Immigration at CW next week for a Non-O (retirement).  Wife filed TM30 on her house and I’m bringing a copy.  Have a copy of her house papers too.  

Question:  I’m staying in my wife’s house do we still need to show a lease paper and make one up or will her house papers suffice w the TM30 receipt?  She will b accompany me.

TLDR : Answer Summary

While applying for a Non-O (retirement) visa in Thailand and staying in your wife's house, you do not need to provide a lease agreement. Instead, you should have your wife's house registration papers and a TM30 receipt. Your wife may need to fill out a specific form during the process, along with her Thai ID and house book. Additionally, it's advisable to bring proof of your relationship with her.

You don't need to show a lease, they will probably want your wife to complete a form (sorry can't remember name) along with copies of her house book and Thai ID

it's not for extension directly. It's for part of proof OP is living with the house owner.

in my case @CW, they came for a house visit a couple of days later. Phoned the day before to confirm a time. No one else (other than me) was needed to be there, as the reason was retirement. Took a pic of me opening the door, another inside. Spoke with our condo security.

I'm my similar circumstances (non-o retirement) at CW, they didn't want to see the partner that I live with. They wanted a signed copy of her ID, plus a short hand written affidavit, confirming such. I also took her lease plus a copy. My name isn't on her lease. They phoned her and confirmed verbally.
