Last year at my renewal of “retirement visa” I wrote a note to myself that I needed my wife to bring our blue book and the “house owner form”. I have a yellow book for the property.

1) what is the “home owner form”?

2) do I need the original issued 3-month visa that I am now seeking to extend again based on qualifying as retired?

P.S. i hate this time of year.
Answer summary
The conversation discusses the required documents for renewing a retirement visa in Thailand. Key points include the need for a homeowner form, which could refer to a TM30 or a certificate of residence from immigration, as well as the necessity of presenting the original issued 3-month visa and any extensions. Additionally, there are mentions of the yellow book and foreign ID requirements, and advice is given to check the latest list of required documents from immigration, as regulations may change.

To get the Yellow Book from the City Council (Bangkok, Samut Prakan) was an ordeal that took a month. There were documents that had to be certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I hired an attorney, 15,400 THB. She did all the leg work.

One of the papers asked us to describe our relationship, marriage cerificate, even asked "How many extensions of stay you have had". Zero.

The City council had to ask Australian Embassy, if Australia may have any claims against me (took 3 weeks).

When I got the Yellow Book, there was like 5cm deck of papers. All to be signed by my wife, by myself, even my fingerprints taken. The Pink ID (an ID card for foreigners) was issued after that, 10 minutes.

My Thai driving licence has no my passport number at the bottom. It has my Thai National ID from my Pink card. If you are over 60, the Pink ID card is for lifetime.

Homeowner form sounds like a TM30.

Home owner "book", unless it is the Blue Book, may be actually the property purchase contract.

Property exact address, property ID with the city council, property data. Ours have two names, mine and wife's.

wife would need blue book and ID to file a TM30. I need a new one every year

My TM30 never changes, the current one (might be years old) is still valid.

My neighbor, an American, laminated his TM30 docket in 2018. and has been using that same one since, every year.

But, I will have to do my next 1 year extension in September 2026, maybe I have not seen it all yet.

Edit: Bangkok, Samut Prakan Immigration office.

You go to immigration and get the latest list of required documents. Get them together and go apply. Don't rely on a note to yourself that's a year old as things may have changed.

Best you get foreigner pink Thai ID. Go to immigration for required forms and then to your district office for ID.

1. There is certificate of residence, in Thai not the one that immigration issue but the house owner, plus blue book and thier ID, you get if from immigration. Very simple. Maybe its that there talking about.
