So the new requirement for extending retirement visa non-O is a copy of the landlord's ID. Well, my landlord refuses to give his ID and in any case is not even in Thailand and very difficult to reach. You have to deal with a host of secretaries and middle persons who are absolutely not cooperative. What to do?

The usual immigration mess again. Happened to me once, too. They asked for landlord ID when extending my stay. Funny - if not to say stupid, cause I presented them with a fresh TM.30 which the very landlord had to do for me the day before (using his ID). It is absolutely impractical to ask someone for another ones ID - as people are understandably hesitant to pass those around to strangers. Why would they have TM30 as proof of address and landlords identity only to then ask the extending applicant again. Another case of someone at immigration not getting their own work.
Sometimes it is because they are paranoid that you will use his ID to get credit on things, make it clear he can write across the copy of it that it is for immiagration purposes only. I had a landlord the same buy gave it when I said they could write that on it.
Why do ppl suggest this? Do you actually think the OP is not aware of that as an option? Or do you just like seeing your words appear on a screen? Moronic statement of the week right here ffs
That is not so easy. We have lived in the same condo for 25 years, location is prime and rent is low. We are travelling to Europe within two months. Not a good time to move.
Seems improbable (for which, read irresponsible) that anyone would rent from a landlord without verifying that the person renting is actually the landlord (i.e. by producing a copy of their ID - same for the tenant) but maybe some people are too trusting
