Is it easier to use an agent for obtaining a DTV remote working visa for Thailand from the UK?

Thank You for your helpful assistance with the OP post.

It doesn't necessarily need to be provided to you, It just has to be filed and in the system under your name and passport.

Your landlord is legally obligated to file a tm30 within 24 hours of you moving into the property. If they are refusing it sounds rather dodgy and they are likely trying to avoid the tax on the rental income. I've needed a copy of my tm30 on every visa extention so far.

Ask your landlord if he will give you a copy (photo) of his blue book and IC so you can file the tm30 yourself.. if it's done online you can avoid the fine for late registration.. but he (or you) will need a tm47 account in landlords name to do the filing.. since you need to upload his docs to establish the account.. after that you can access it and do the filing on his behalf.. with permission of course.. and attend to it each time you travel and need to re-register.. without ever involving him again.. if he won't do this it suggests he is hiding something a tad illegal.. maybe he doesn't own the property and is subletting without permission.. and therefore doesn't have his name in the blue book.. and doesn't want to alert the real owner to it.. you should check the person presenting themselves as the property owner and who collects your rent is the bone fide owner before entering into a rental agreement to avoid this.. they want copies of your national ID and / or passport etc before accepting you as a tenant.. if they won't show you their ID and their blue book in return then don't accept them as your Landlord.. they may not be who they say they are!?

Go to immigration and as what they require from you

They are required by law to register you and give you a copy

The owner has to register you by tm30 or you go yoorself to the immigration office with your documents

Well, either their breaking the law by not doing the required reporting on foreigners stay at their property, or they are just too lazy to click the "export to .PDF" button when the filing is completed (the latest version of the system literally presents the filer with a dialogue box asking if they want an export of the report just filed).

There are OVER 80 immigration offices in the country. Whether you need a TM30 receipt or not when you apply for the extension is office specific. ..

More and more offices are requiring that you have proof you're staying in an area served by that office (TM30 receipt).

Remember at most offices (other than Jomtien/Samui) you can apply for an extension when you have 30 days or less left on your stamp, so no need to run your stamp down because you don't lose time applying early

All you can do is go to your office and ask them.

There are reports of people who have needed one to get their extension actually checking into a hotel for one day to get the TM30 went and got the extension

Yes just pay the fine

Yes the TM30 is one the standard forms in Thailand.

Even if it’s an Airbnb

You will need some sort of a receipt confirming where you are staying !

Yes by most Immigration Offices
