What new visa verification process is happening in Hua Hin for non-immigrant O retirement visa holders?
This is an FYI, and not a question, about something that caught me off guard yesterday. I live in Prachuap Khiri Khan province (Hua Hin) on a non-imm O retirement VISA. Yesterday 2 immigration agents came to my home and said they needed photos of me standing inside and outside of my home. Also, they needed a picture of me standing by my post box. They said it was a new policy from Bangkok immigration. They are verifying addresses last reported on the TM30. I thought this was only done for marriage VISAs. They were pleasant and polite during their visit. Just surprised me.
Answer summary
An expat living in Hua Hin shared an experience where immigration agents visited to verify their residence as part of a new policy from Bangkok. They requested photos of the individual inside and outside their home and by the post box. This verification process appears to be for checking addresses reported on the TM30 form, traditionally thought to apply mainly to those on marriage visas.

thanx for the update, remember people this is a Hua Hin FYI only, and your office might or might not do it

Seems to be happening more and more nowadays..
I think it's not so much a directive from bangkok and just their way of making sure the address you used for your extension is really where you stay.
Thanx for the update
