What is the TM30 notification process for visa extensions in Thailand?

Tod Daniels oh i just had another question, i know this tm30 thing applies to people staying here long term but would i also need to do it if i am going in for a tourist visa extension? Or do i need to show like a ticket out of Thailand instead? I have one month extension coming up on my current tourist visa

@Tod ********

wow ok sounds good then, thanks so much for the info, its been breaking my head trying to understand all the stuff i read online.

@Viol****

, yep, what I am saying is you can self-file with just your lease (rental contract) and your passport. You DON'T need the landlords id, their house book or the power of attorney form

You need the following copies

your rental contract

the data page of your passport

your visa, entry stamp and extension (if you have one)

your TM.6 departure card

A filled out TM.30 form.

With those things you can file a TM.30 without ANYTHING from the land lord :P

I know 100% that this works because I've done it several times already at Chaengwattana in Section B the TM.30 reporting section ;)

The TM.30 form is in our Files section of this group,

@Tod ********

where to get this power of attorney form too...wow what a headache

@Tod ********

hmmm so just take a copy of lease and passport? By lease u mean contract? I am a bit confused...so can i self file? Cuz my landlord will not do it for me , absolutely wont.

@Violetta *********

just so you know, IF you are going to file on behalf of your land lord you need a power of attorney form with 2 five baht tax stamps.

It's better to 'self file' where you just take a copy of your lease and passport..

thank you

@Luke *******

You can visit Immigration and just ask yourself. It might be quicker than asking other people to do this for you.

Hi

@Tod ********

is there any word yet on what someone staying at a room - who is not the renter - would take to register a TM30 in lieu of a rental agreement?

@Jonathan ***************

just take in a copy of your lease and copies of your passport, that is all you need to "self-file" a TM.30 at Chaengwattana. You don't need any copies of the house book or the land lords i/d or the power of attorney or anything.
