TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquired about obtaining proof of residency in Thailand while living with friends and whether they could extend their visa until March. Comments suggested that proof can be obtained by having a friend fill out a TM30 form, with the requirement of their ID and housebook. Additional insights mentioned discrepancies in immigration procedures from different locations, and emphasized that the responsibility for registration generally lies with the property owner. It was also noted that the visa must be extended before the user's current visa expires in March.

I recently tried to extended my tourist visa in Jomtien while staying at an AirBNB. I discovered it is better to take care of that in BKK. Apparently, there are different TM30 rules applied at different immigration offices. BKK does not bother with it if you are a short term guest. (Tourist Visa)

For air BNB you need Owner ID and blue book. I saw some people who were staying in an AIR BNB who did TM30 at pattaya immigration. They just emailed the Owner.

Amd what if your friend is renting the house/condo, can the friend fill in the tm30?
Stephen *******
The house master can be the person with the lease.
Chris *******
no you cannot, your tm30 must be signed and filled by house master/owner.
Keng ******
you can use your rental contract with it

Your friends fill in a TM30 along with ID etc. If the they own the property then the house book etc. Very straight forward
Nicholas *******
I am out. No more responses pls
Nicholas *******
They know where you have been before through definition
Chris *******
Even after full set of docs they will ask where have you been before. Going to Bangkok for extension doesn't sound bad after all. Next time have in mind how is it.
Nicholas *******
Note it is the landlords liability if they do not register ones stay with the local authorities
Nicholas *******
In short and without taking my time up what I said
Nicholas *******
And...
Chris *******
Usually blue book copy + copy id of the owner + signed proxy, signed tm30 by the owner and signed the list of guest all that you go and register, proxy must be issued for each of all mentioned in the second part (list of guests).
Chris *******
the responsibility is of the house master (owner) to register you but YOU need something from the immigration you pay the fine.
Mark ********
If the tenants are registered, they can do the report
Mark ********
Didn't say they couldn't but landlord doesn't have responsibility for guests of tenants....the tenants do as occupiers
