Hey all, seeking advice for my upcoming move to Bangkok. I'm on a non-O retirement visa and have always handled my extensions in Phuket or Hua Hin. Now, I'll be living with my girlfriend in her condo here in BKK. Could anyone offer insights on:

> TM30 reporting when living in a girlfriend's condo?

> Key differences or things to prepare for when dealing with the Bangkok immigration office for my annual extension?
Answer summary
The user is moving to Bangkok on a Non-O retirement visa and seeks guidance on TM30 reporting related to living in a girlfriend's condo, and any differences in the extension process compared to previous experiences in Phuket or Hua Hin. Key advice includes ensuring to report the TM30 at the new address, managing 90-day reports, and preparing necessary documents for the extension application at the Bangkok immigration office, particularly noting specific financial requirements regarding the bank balance.

TM30 showing your registered as staying at an address served by Bangkok Immigrations, you should also do your 90 day reporting here at that address (if possible) rather than move just before your extension is due.

In Bangkok you can apply for a new extension when you have 45 days or less left on your current stamp. You need to have the year print out of the detail transaction report, the standard bank letter and update your bank book the date you apply for the extension, TM30, lease, land lord thai i/d maybe the house book copy. Remember if you used banked money method you needed to have kept the 800K baht in the account for 3 months after the extension was granted last year and then the balance couldn't go below 400K the rest of the year until you get it back to 800K baht a minimum of 2 months before you apply for the next yearly extension

This is a generic list of what's required at most offices. It is NOT office specific so I'd suggest you slog on out to Chaengwattana and get the hand out listing the requirements for a yearly extension based on retirement.

thank you. I have to clarify that my girlfriend doesn't own the condo, she rents it in her name. How to do the TM30 in this case?

you and her go with the lease the land lord thai i/d to the immigration office and try to file one OR you get her landlord to file one
