What documents do I need to update my TM30 if I live in my wife's rented apartment in Petchabun?

Hello Samaritans of TVA,

I got my first one year marriage extension and I have a tm30 receipt from Bangkok.

I recently moved to Petchabun and would like to update my tm30 to local address here. My Thai wife has taken an apartment for rent so the rent agreement is in her name not in my name. I am of course living here though.

So my question is in this case since I don’t the agreement in my name, do I still need the copy of Tabian Baan and ID of original landlord? Or in this case since I am living in my wife’s rented apartment, only her ID would be needed?

Thanks,

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user seeks to update their TM30 address after moving to Petchabun with their Thai wife. They ask if they need documentation, given the rental agreement is not in their name. Responses indicate that they may need the Tabian Baan copy, the landlord's ID, and rent agreement details, even though it's their wife’s rented apartment.

I live in BKK in same situation as you and in my case the answer is: YES , you need the copy of Tabian Baan and ID of original landlord that should be signed by Landlord (+ copy of your wife id and rent agreement btw your wife and landlord).

I don't believe anyone on this group is gonna have the actual answer 🙁

I would imagine you'd file an TM28 <-change of address, and then the TM30 <- notification of foreigner in residence and need what ever documentation they require.

You can't be the first foreigner who lives in a place rented by his thai wife 😉 Have her call and ask them.

Sometimes the answer is call the immigration office and ask 😮
