ORIGINAL POSTER

Does anybody have an up-to-date list of required documents by Bangkok ImmigrationDivision 1 regarding the accommodation for the extension of the 1 year non-o retirement visa when you rent a condo from a private owner? There are several suggestions flying around, including

- copy of lease (I guess thats a given)

- landlords ID

- landlords house registration book

- property deed/proof of ownership of the landlord

- photos of building (inside, outside)

Obviously copies, but do they have to be signed by the owner? (This is only about the accommodation related documents, the rest I know already.) Thanks in advance!

Sorry, I forgot to mention that this is about Bkk Immigration Division 1. That of course is an important detail, so I amended the post.

Thb, I never expected that to work. But maybe I am to pessimistic (based on experiences also from my own country lol), so actually, following your suggestion, I just send them an email. They have one gmail address for the whole of Division 1 though, so I'm not overly optimistic. This said, have a managed to get comprehensive answers from them via email before?
