Do landlords in Thailand require a copy of your arrival visa stamp for registration purposes?
Excuse me if it's not directly related with visa issues, however I would appreciate if someone clarifies me on the following matter.
I'm moving to a new condo, and the owner wants a copy of my last arrival visa stamp. I already gave him a copy of my passport and work permit.
Do landlords need a copy of the visa page in order to register foreigners living in their premises?
TIA

Answer summary
The request for a copy of your last arrival visa stamp by a landlord is not uncommon in Thailand, as it may be related to immigration compliance. While it may seem unusual, landlords sometimes need proof of legal entry into the country to file necessary paperwork like the TM30. This form requires details such as the date of arrival and the allowed duration of stay, which can be found on the visa stamp. Landlords who do not request such documentation may not be compliant with immigration laws.

Landlords who don't ask for your passport, border stamps and TM6 will not lodge a TM30 (either online or on paper), are not compliant with the law, and probably don't pay taxes on the rent 😀

Just so we're clear. THIS is the information required for the online TM.30 form.. They need the date you arrived AND how long you're allowed to be here <- which is probably why they want your most recent entry stamp

Okay, IF a place you're staying is asking for your arrival departure card number and the date you last entered thailand along with your passport number is is more likely than not they are filing an ONLINE TM.30 on you. Hotels, guest houses, and even private residences CAN use the online system. Those things are required to file online for someone.

I'm assuming he is asking for the TM number, my landlord asked for it too. Apparently he needs to keep immigration in loop.

Hmm... Well I guess there's some confusion here. But it's okay to share this info. I have been here for two years and have always given the info. I haven't had any troubles :)

On the face of it no, but maybe immigration asked them or will ask them to provide the proof that you entered the country legally and on what date.
