Non o retirement yearly extensions if was done in 1 province then half way through you move to another province take new documents new address to immigration apply new tm 30 will they then issue a residence certificate
Answer summary
When moving to another province while holding a Non O retirement visa in Thailand, it is necessary to file a TM28 form to notify immigration of your change of address within days of moving. You must also submit a TM30 form pertaining to your new residence. Ensure that you have all required documents ready, such as a passport-style photo and photocopies of your passport's biodata page and recent Thai entry stamps, as these may be needed to issue your residence certificate.

The TM30 should be done by however is responsible for where you live within 24 hours of your arrival there. Some immigration offices may want you to file a TM28 but that's not so common these days. They should then issue the residence certificate but you may also need a passport style photo and photocopies of the biodata page and most recent Thai stamps in your passport
