What should I do about TM 30 registration issues when applying for a 60-day extension on my Non-O visa?

TM 30 Non-O Visa 60-Day Extension Visa Issues Immigration Thailand Expats

ORIGINAL POSTER

Greetings everyone!

I have a question regarding the TM 30 document.

I currently have an ME Non-O visa based on marriage, from the consulate in Savannakhet, which is valid until the end of September next year.  

Since my first 90 day stay permit expires at the end of this month, I plan to extend my stay based on visiting a Thai family to get an additional 60 days (I understand that I can do this once during the visa period).  

I have a problem with TM 30 because of the landlord. She says she registered me properly when I got back to Bangkok, but now she can't access the site and send me my details to print because it's been more than 7 days. 

At my insistence to register me again, she refuses on the pretext that it is illegal and that she is not allowed to do that.  She says she called the immigration service on the phone and they confirmed it.  

The apartment rental contract I have with her expires at the end of January, but it is in my wife's name.  

What are my options and what can I do to successfully extend my stay by 60 days?

Thank you in advance!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user seeks advice on how to handle the TM 30 document issue related to their ME Non-O visa based on marriage, as their landlord is unable or unwilling to provide the necessary documentation. They intend to apply for a 60-day extension based on visiting a Thai family but face registration problems that might prevent this. Comments suggest options including attempting to apply for the extension despite TM 30 issues, or leaving Thailand briefly to reset the 90-day entry stamp.

And a bit off-topic info. you know that 60 days family visit extension is available once per VISA, not entry. You cannot use it for the last entry if you use up.

Correct, so only 15 months in Thailand not the maximum 17. It's always best to keep the 60 day extension back to the end so it's always available if needed as well as getting the maximum 17 months from the one Visa.

All you can really do is go TRY to apply for a 60 day visit thai family extension at your immigration office and it'll either work without the TM30 or it won't.

I would say you're NOT gonna get a print out off the new TM30 system 🙁

AND

seeing as you have a year-long, multi-entry Non-O visa I would say you should just bounce out and back to get a new 90 day entry stamp.

Then have your land lord file AND PRINT a new TM30 once you come in so you can have a TM30 when you go apply for the 60 day extension from that entry..
