Hi. Here's a weird one. I mistyped my address on my retirement extension. 163 instead of 162. It was approved anyway. An assistant told me I need to get the residency slip in my passport updated before I left. I did that. Am I good to go? I want to ensure this issue doesn't bite me later and I'm thrown out of the country or something.

TLDR : Answer Summary
After mistakenly entering the wrong address on your retirement extension application (163 instead of 162) and subsequently having it approved, you took the correct step by updating your residency slip in your passport. According to a community member, you shouldn't face any issues related to this typo while in Thailand. However, to ensure that future extensions go smoothly, it’s advised to have your landlord (or yourself, if you own the property) file a new TM30 online to reflect the correct address.

Sorry hadn’t seen the comment that you’d already updated the slip

Good. I appreciate the confirmation.

Have your landlord (or you if you’re the property owner) file a new TM30 online. Takes a few minutes.

You are not going to be thrown out of the country for a typo on a residency slip.

You may have an issue on your next extension but just file a TM30 to update the address before you apply.

I will ask landlord. So, the residency slip in my passport isn't enough? I'll take extra precautions so I don't have a nightmare next year. Thanks.

The residence slip in your passport is the “manual” filing of a TM30. Your landlord can also file an “online” version. They’re the same thing.

The typo was on my visa extension. I think it doesn't matter.

Do I need both to be sure of no problems? Thanks again?

Nope. One or the other.
