What should I do if my landlord refuses to submit the TM30 form for my visa extension in Thailand?

Book couple night in hotel and do the TM30.

As others have mentioned, spend the night at a cheap hotel and ask for copy of TM30. Then go to your 90-day report with that.

A friend had the same problem in Hua Hun with a house he rents. It turned out the owner wasn't Thai and the house shouldn't be rented out, hence him not doing the TM 30. Good luck 👍

You need a copy of the TM30 your landlord filed when you arrived at his property.

It is always the responsability of the landlord to make the TM30, not you.

That also means you have no need to get his ID, so he is right to deny you getting his ID

Once had the same problem. I booked into a cheaper hotel for 2 days and everything was sorted out

Border bounce so much easier (and have a little break)

I take all the details I can, lease on the apartment and phone number of the landlord & explain the problem, possibly want to avoid paying tax on income. Certainly at Jomtien the officer phone the owner and resolve the problem, ask for their assistance you maybe lucky.

1 night in a B2 hotel

I was in the same situation in Hua Hin. I went to Immigration before the 90 days report and told them that the landlord does not want to provide the TM30. Immigration called him and in 30 min I received my TM30.

I would suggest to spend a night in a hotel and see if you can get the TM30. I used to work for hotels here and most are doing it automatically as the checks are frequent and fines are important.

Why you rented it in the first place if you know that you can not get TM.30

You could take a cheap hotel for 1day, then you will have the tm30

Landlord is supposed to submit TM30 for you

Looks like a border run is your best option for another 180 days rather than an extension.

Do a BORDER BOUNCE to get the DTV 180 day extension. It's simple and easy to do from Chiang Mai.

Use an experienced border run service company to take you out and back in the same day.

Just so you're clear..

You're not doing a visa run 😮 What you really are doing is called a "border bounce"

VISA RUN <- where you RUN to a thai consulate in another country and BUY a visa for thailand then come back

BORDER BOUNCE <- where you go to the border, stamp out of thailand, "BOUNCE" in and out of another country then stamp back into thailand to get a new entry stamp

Also just so you know, no matter how you get there, IF you go on your own to either the Chiang Khong/Huay Xai or the Chiang Saen/Special Economic Zone borders with Lao in Chiang Rai province you have to stay IN Lao 2 days. You have to show proof you're leaving thailand in 60 days when you stamp back in and they ask for proof of where you're staying

I'd say USE A SERVICE like Chiang Mai Visa Run to get you to the border, get you out and back the same day and bring you back to Chiang Mai..

You don't show proof you're leaving in 60 days, you don't show lodging and you don't have to stay out 2 nights, they get you out and right back in



Those do it yourself, bounce yourself ideas don't save you any money and often cause more grief than just paying a good service to take you there and back"
