Hello Admins and Everyone,
I have a concern with the TM. 30.
I have read most of the posts here concerning filing the TM. 30, however I'm making this post because I perceive my issue is quite different.
I fully moved to a newly rented apartment in Bangkok on the 24th June and that's when I came back from a Visa run in Nigeria... Africa.
Since I came back, I've been trying to get my landlord to give me the necessary documents ( ie copies of his ID and House book with his signature) to file for TM. 30 but it has all proved futile.
I then downloaded the TM. 30 form... and requested him to fill and sign it but he said he can't do that too.
I asked him to go with me to the Immigration to file it or do it himself and give me the receipt and he still said No.
Just this Evening, I received a message from the caretaker that, the landlord said he can't provide me with the documents I need so I should move out.... apparently, I'm not the only one, we're about 3 foreigners facing this problem with the landlord.
MY PLAN:
I have decided to go to the Immigration with a copy of my rent contract and that of the apartment's advertising brochure which has the landlord's contact, address and the map of the apartment as well as my passport details to the Immigration tomorrow to file it.... and see what happens.
If they don't agree, I'll explain my situation to them.... because honestly, I don't have the funds to move out now.
MY QUESTION/CONCERN
In this situation what should I do?
Am I the one at fault here?
Is there anything the Immigration can do to assist me with the landlord?
Well, I have too many questions now.... I don't know what to do, I'm in a fix or maybe I'm confused.
Everyone, someone help!!!
Thank you.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is facing difficulties with their landlord in Bangkok regarding the filing of TM.30 forms required for immigration. The landlord refuses to provide necessary documents such as ID and house book, leading the user to contemplate self-filing at Immigration with alternative documentation. Comments suggest that self-filing may be an option and that the landlord's refusal is likely due to tax evasion concerns. Advice emphasizes keeping the filing process simple and relying on the rental contract, along with a filled TM.30 form and personal documentation.
