Hi people. I think this question is suitable for this group so: I have a single tourist visa (valid 60 days) and I want to extend it for 30 days as I'm visiting my daughter whilst seeing the sights as well.

I heard that you have to get certain things from your landlord like proof of address, length of stay etc or you could get fined.

Anyone have any views on this subject?

Many thanks in advance

Sorry people forgot to mention Chnburi immigration in jomtien, pattaya I will use

They are using the Chonburi immigration office in Jomtien, Pattaya, and are aware that they may need documentation from their landlord, such as proof of address and length of stay, to avoid fines. Community responses highlight the importance of the TM30 form and mention that requirements may vary by immigration office location.

Your landlord or you should have done the TM30 when you arrived other wise it’ll be a 1600 Baht fine before you can extend

 yeah just tried looking but of all the valuable advice you and others have given me, one thing is for sure......the owner/landlord/rental company are responsible. The owners of my condo I'm renting are firang friends anyway and if I have to pay then i know they'll reimburse me.

 just to be safe (because I've found it's better to be safe than sorry.

I'd go to the management office have them bring up the online program where they file TM.30 forms and do a print screen of your information. That program has no confirmation of them doing a report only that they submitted it. That's why I say have them to a print screen of your information on the system.

Nope, the white card you get on the flight is the TM6. TM30 is a two pages form which should be filled by landlord, house owner or house master at Immigration 24 hours after your arrival at a private address. Hotels, guesthouses will do this for you.

The TM30 is that the white arrival card you get on the flight? They keep that and you keep the departure part in you passport?

Michael Lucken it is evidence the agent actually did it, rather than simply relying on the fact they said they did it...many say they do it but don’t

Yes but the acknowledgement does not indicate whether anything was approved or received at the other end so it means very little unfortunately.

If they did in fact do it, they probably would have done it online so there won't be a receipt. You will just have to go in with all the documents mentioned. If you are in the system when they check they will give you the slip and you are on your way. If not on the system then pay the 1600 and get it back or withhold it from the rent as you mentioned (as long as they agree beforehand). It is a lovely system.

you'll find out 100% when you go to get an extension of stay in jomtien (they're serious as a heart attack about that TM.30 and will be only too happy to fine you for not having it done.)

 I wouldn't be so sure your presumption is correct until I talked with the managing company and see if they file the TM.30 form online like hotels and guest houses can.

 I am staying in a condo who the owner of my room gets a property company called "Star Property Services" to manage his 20-30 condos/apts he has. So I am only 4 days in of my 3 month holiday so I presume they would know what there doing?

That's all I've took to extend my SETV for 30 day's in Bangkok.

I visited 13 city's last year and got my extension in the northeast.

And told them i was going to the hotel i booked on line when i leave this office.

No problems.

 many people just check into a cheap hotel for one day on the date they're going for their extension and show that bill and a business card from the hotel when they go to get their extension.

OR conversely, you could just get your extension in Bangkok where they don't care at all about the TM.30 form ;)

 it is 24 hours of taking up residence in the area you're staying in that's served by the immigration office of that area where you're going to get your extension .

AND if you have not been registered at an address within 24 hours you will probably have to pay a fine of 1600 baht or your Landlord will. You lodge the TM30 first and get the receipt. Copy that, and then submit for the extension. If you are at a hotel they would already have registered you online so they will see it in the system.

You need the data page, departure card, arrival stamp and photos X2 copies. Then you need either #1 or #2 or #3 depending on your accommodation. 1 is if you are owner, 2 is renting, 3 is hotel or similar.
