I have a retirement Visa. I have just completed my 90 day report. I rent a house and showed my yellow book with address in. Everything was ok. Question. Does my landlord have to fill a form in stating I rent her house?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user confirmed they have a retirement visa and recently completed their 90-day report, showing their yellow book as proof of residence. They seek clarification on whether their landlord is required to complete a form affirming that they rent the house.

As you showed your yellow book, confirmed your address with the TM47 form and 90 day report and as the say everything is okay.

Tod Daniels My friend, you want hardcore? HARDCORE is my office.

For an address change near the 90-day report time, my office required: a police report, TM28, TM30, TM47, receipt from previous TM47 report, passport copy (of course), copy of house book, and the PHYSICAL presence of the rental house owner—the “possessor.” (I had brought the house manager with me, but that wasn’t enough.)

I live 100 km from the IO and had to make two round trips to satisfy them. The second trip, fetching the owner.

I swear, getting a retirement visa was MUCH easier than an address change.

My take on this whole fiasco: I’m beginning to believe that online advice is near-useless in immigration matters; but checking with your local office is the only thing of which you can be 80%* confident. It may take 2-3 trips to get it right, but hey, T.I.T. (Oh, excuse me—just get “the handout.”)

This advice comes from dealing with six immigration offices over 16 years. For some ungodly reason, it seems to get harder rather than easier.

*Only 80% because interpretations of the rules vary among officers within the same office. Ergo: Get the name of the officer giving the advice, and only deal with that person when executing the procedure. However, be prepared for that individual to change their own interpretation between visits, as I have experienced.

IF they didn't ask for a TM.30 receipt when you applied and you do have your 90 day report receipt in your passport, you're good to go..

If they were an immigration office that was hard core about you having that TM.30 receipt they wouldn't have let you do a 90 day report without it.
