How Can I Get a COVID Extension Without My Landlord's TM30 Information?

The longer this post goes, the less sense it makes:

1. *IF* you have signed a lease, you should have been given some type of copy. I never heard of a landlord NOT giving a copy of a lease to the tenant, either in Thai or English.

2. *IF* you are renting from an AirBnB, legally they are in a gray zone, and most property owners would be hesitant to submit a TM30.

3. I'm surprised the property owner would not have kept the e-mail with the registration.

4. The TM30 has been existing for a very long time; the property owner should have registered you at immigration.

My advice:

1. Take all documents with you to immigration during your appointment about the TM30.

2. You *may* be fined *up to* 1,600 THB for not filing a TM30. At worse, they would verbally reject your extension of stay.

(I'm assuming you have already made an appointment to get the extension of stay; if you haven't, message a mod and we'll reopen commenting on how to make an appointment and what documents to bring to get the 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19)

Thank you

an easy workaround might be (if you are on tourist status):

staying for one night at a decent hotel and get TM30 receipt/proof from the hotel

Good news, you can self-file a TM30 in Bangkok.

REPOST: Self File TM-30 BANGKOK ONLY.

This is the way you need to fill out the TM30 form if you are filing with NO documentation from your land lord

Your name goes at the top of the form, your address goes under it, then your address AGAIN as the address where the foreigner lives.

In the blank area at the bottom left hand side of the piece that they will tear off and give back to you write your address again.

On the second page (the table) put all your information.

You sign BOTH forms on the signature lines. Print the forms correctly. the first page is portrait orientation and second page is landscape orientation :O

Make copies of;

-lease

-data page of your passport

-visa (if you have one)

-extension (if you have one)

-entry stamp

-TM6 departure card

sign the copies of your passport stuff.

This is a way to file a TM30 in BANGKOK without any information from your land lord at all. <- (meaning you don't need their i/d, their house book listing, a power of attorney form with the 10 baht in tax stamps).

AFAIK: this ONLY works in Bangkok but I can say with 100% accuracy that it does work (y)
