I thought you don't need to submit your tm 30 again if you live at the same place?

Your landlord is responsible for it, but if not you can do it by telling immigration. Unless its your own home, you will need to do it. You're nearest immigration place should be able to advise.

Congrats. The doom mongers won't be happy though they want everyone interrogated. Especially if you applied via soft power.

Some people don't like how easy it is to get the DTV this way. So want the rules tightened and people checked for continuing their activity, dental or medical plan.
