Do I need to do anything after my landlord files a TM30 for my O visa retirement extension?

I have just moved home and my new landlord has filed a TM30. 

Do I need to do anything else at immigration (Chaengwattana) before I can renew my O visa extension of stay (based on retirement)? I will take the new rental contract and map along with the usual documents for the extension of stay process.

Google searches have been confusing about the need for a TM28 and have even suggested that you may need a signed copy of the landlord’s owner blue book.

Thanks for helping clarify for me.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The TM30 form filed by your landlord is essential for your visa extension. For an O visa extension based on retirement, you do not need to file a TM28 as it is primarily for reporting a change of address. However, you should bring the TM30 receipt from your landlord, a copy of their Thai ID, the house book if available, and your new rental contract when you go to Chaengwattana. Make sure all documents are ready before your appointment to avoid any delays.

This is just a general list of what can be required for an extension based on retirement

and did you live IN Bangkok before you moved? As in was your current extension issued from Chaengwattana last year?

That's the thing that usually causes the problem and makes them ask for more documentation to prove you REALLY do stay in bangkok,

There is no need for a TM28 change of address, you need to have the copy of that TM30 filed (as the receipt is YOURS not your land lords),

Take the copies of the landlords thai i/d and house book (if you have it) as well as your lease.
