ORIGINAL POSTER
I have a one year lease paperwork from my landlord. I need to get a 30 day extension on my 60 day tourist visa.

Do I also need a tm30 or resident certificate to get the extension or is the lease sufficient. Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
To extend your 60-day tourist visa by 30 days, it's essential to check with your local immigration office regarding their specific requirements. While some offices may not require a TM30 or proof of residence, others may ask for it. A lease agreement alone may not be sufficient for the visa extension as there have been reports indicating that immigration might not accept it. It's advisable to have your TM30 ready and consult directly with the immigration office or have your landlord assist you with the paperwork.

Always a good idea to take your tm30

That entirely depends on your local immigration office some will definitely want to see your up to date TM30 some will not, best to go and ask them, or just get your landlord to do it for you anyway.

That’s immigration office-specific. You need to check with your local office for their policy. Some don't require TM30 or proof of address for tourism extension. Some require you to show a TM30 receipt. There are some offices that accept hotel receipts instead of TM30.

I don't recall any report saying a lease agreement was accepted for tourism extension.
