do non o-a extension needs TM30 in Bangkok?

Answer summary

Yes, for a NON O-A visa extension in Bangkok, you need to provide proof that a TM30 form has been filed, along with your lease. When visiting the immigration office, having a TM30 printed confirmation and a lease agreement or a letter from your landlord stating your long-term residency is essential.

Thanks all for your info. Is it possible for the landlord to file the TM30 online? We live in a rented condo and the landlord never file tm30 for us. Thanks again.

Yes, it's possible for the landlord to do the TM30 online. Have them use the link here:

Yes, you need to show that a TM30 was filed AND bring your lease too.

I was at C/W last week with a friend on an O-A year entry and both the TM30 and his lease were required. He is a long stay resident at a hotel so they wrote a letter stating he's staying long term with them (and the accepted that as the lease) and we had the print out from the hotel showing they had done a TM30 for him online when he checked in

Interesting. I used a TM30 receipt that was over a year old. I've never been asked to show a rental contract. However, because of experiences that you described above I always bring it with me.

If he is staying in a real hotel then that could be the issue. I am living in a condo. My TM30 was over a year old and filed by my landlord who sent me a photo of the receipt. I printed a copy of that photo. I have also traveled inside Thailand to Pattaya and Sisaket several times this past year.

The implicit message in my comment was also that when you hear stories like yours then you should note that information and plan to bring these things, in this case a rental contract, when you go to do your visa extension. It costs little to nothing to bring it and you have it when you need it. It is weird to me that people are always trying to find out EXACTLY what they need and at the same time resist (or complain) about bringing maybe more than they need.

@Ma***

this person had a TM30 that was close to a year old AND had rented that same room at the hotel for that length of time, BUT he'd also traveled and stayed at other hotels too (which might have registered him in the system) and his hotel did not re-register him when he returned because he never checked out officially.

I think that was why they wanted the "lease", as he could have come up in their system and having TM30 filed from other places too. They didn't say anything but that was my understanding of why they asked for it.
