Is tm.30 necessary for a 12 month extension on a non-o retirement visa? Or tm.47 is good enough.
Answer summary
The TM30 form is indeed necessary for obtaining a 12-month extension on a non-O retirement visa. It serves as the registration of your current residence, and without it, you may face difficulties in applying for the extension. In contrast, the TM47 is a 90-day report and is not directly related to the extension requirement, although it is important to submit it to avoid fines. It's recommended to update your TM30 with immigration before applying for the visa extension.

A TM30 is simply conformation of your current address and needs to be done within 36 hours of your arrival.

maybe just guessing, did you try to do a 90 check-in while turning in the tm30? Do it in 90 days, not when you first turn in the tm30. 🤔

Yes an updated current TM30 is required for extension.

The 90 day report tm47 is not related to it, unless you haven't done it and may get a 2000b fine.

Best practice is to update tm30 online or at immigration before applying.

A TM30 is a notification if the hotel/condo owner to immigration that you are staying at that address. So every time you change address the condo/hotel owner should notify immigration

A TM47 is a 90 day report which you have to do every 90 days, unless you leave the country and come back in. The 90 days is from when you enter back into Thailand, surmising you had a exit/re-entry stamp in your passport before you exited Thailand!

TM30 is the registration of a foreigner staying at an address and the TM47 is a 90 day report form

Whether you need a paper copy or not will vary by immigration office. But the ones that don't require a paper copy will absolutely require that one has been filed for you and is in the system.
