What should I know about getting a visa extension in Thailand, particularly regarding landlord responsibilities and paperwork?
Ok so I just had a fun day with immigration so thought I would share so newer people learn & dont repeat.
I stay in Samut Pakan in a condo & I went to the bangkok office to do a 30 day VISA extension, I had already done this before while living in a condo in Samrong earlier this year so went on autopilot. Wrong!
At Bangkok they started to process my application but then refused to complete because of address in Samut Prakan & I was diverted back to an office in Samut Prakan, 370baht cab fare later I am at Samut Prakan & advised that my landlord didnt file an Alien Resident form so I must pay the fine for failing to notify on her behalf minus 800 baht.
Make sure if you lease to have the owner supply a copy of this form for your records.
Anyway full day lost plus 1800 baht additional in transport cost & the fine lesson learned.

Answer summary
A recent experience highlights the importance of having the Alien Resident form filed by your landlord when applying for a visa extension in Thailand. The author faced complications when attempting to extend their visa in Bangkok due to their address in Samut Prakan, resulting in additional transportation costs and a fine for their landlord's failure to file necessary paperwork. It's crucial for tenants to ensure their landlords provide this documentation to avoid unnecessary expenses and delays.
