Downloaded the tm30, very handy, thanks

Are you aware of more than one "rental Agreement" form?

Or is there ONE accepted standard now?

Is there a stamp in your passport from the Ministry of Labour showing you hold a work permit? Usually it's in the back of the passport.

Were you on the initial entry of the Non-B visa or on an extension of stay?

NO, I meant when you were on your non-b that you said 'expired' were you only on the VISA or were you on an extension of stay based on employment from the immigration office?
