Hello to all! I intend to apply for the Non O visa, leading to a retirement visa. My problem is that the landlord whom I stay with has dificulties to help me producing the relevant required documents on residence. What you can suggest me do? Change to another apartment? Any other solutions? Has anyone come to the same problem before? Thank you for your attention.

Had the same issue earlier this year. Arrived on a 90-day non-O and went to Jomtien immigration office to get a residence certificate in order to open a bank account. They asked for all of the documents you mentioned but I could only present the rental contract. Gave up. Moved condo and will try again next winter with a new landlord

First of all, the non-O IS the retirement visa.

Second, what is the issue? A lease and a TM30. Those aren't complicated things and infact the TM30 is a legal requirement of your landlord.

If you can't get their id and blue book copies, move to another place where you can

non o, the o means other, same as a marriage visa etc

What is your point? The non-O IS the visa, anything else is an extension. You cannot get a non-O leading to a retirement visa, it already IS the visa.

I'm well aware of what it means. That has nothing to do with this question that the op posted

tle The point was simply that the o means other, not only for retirement

Thanks a lot! the immigration requires more documents from the owner as

1. copy of the house registration book.

2. copy of the owner's ID card.

3. copy of the owner's household registration for the room to rent.

4. rental contract

In my case, the owner only produces Tm30 for me, nothing else.

Never heard of number 3, but the landlord should provide ID as part of the lease, and a photocopy of the blue book details page will suffice.

I'm talking about number 3, not number 1 ✅👍😂

maybe they want the owner's household registration for where they live and also want the house book for the rental property? I think they're just very bad at wording it in English? Nothing else makes sense

it's been a requirement for years, both for the TM30 registration on Immigration as well as for the "change of visa type". If your landlord doesn't do the TM30 online, you need to take a copy of his blue housebook, copy of his ID-Card and the rental contract to Immigration . . . the other thing "copy of the owner's household registration for the room to rent" is new for me, never heard of before

the owners residence house book may not be the same address as the address they are renting out, hence the house book from the rental address as well.
