This might be useful for some. It has just been posted in another group the requirements for a Residence Certificate in Chiang Mai. Note - different Immigration Offices have different requirements so check what is required where you apply.

For proof of place in Thailand, would printing a copy of the rental contract be enough?

Hi guys , I am new to this group, so sorry for reposting questions answered previously. I stay in Thailand and have a rental contract for a condo here, but would like to apply for the DTV . Can I use the contract with my name and address in Thailand for the DTV application or does it need to be an address outside Thailand? . I don’t have an address in my home country anymore. Thanks 🙏

Dear experts, good morning. Before I head out the immigration office in RAYONG this week to apply for a 30 days extension on my 60 days exemption stay, I want to make sure I have it all together. I have the TM7 form filled out, rental contract, id and blue book copy for my house owner.. is there anything the immigration could ask in addition? Just want to make sure don’t need to go there again. Pretty far away from my stay.. TIA …

Just a quick note that at Chiang Mai immigration, if you are applying for year extension, your TM30 must have the expiry date of your lease on it on the check out date.

Lucky I do mine on the app and could re-do my TM30 at immigration.

Hi, I will be arriving in Thailand around mid August with a plan to retire there, I have lived in Thailand before and did have a retirement visa.

What I want to know is if I come on a 30 day VOA will that be sufficient enough to be able to open a Bank account with as well as rental contract etc etc, Thanks

Hello all,

I have a question regarding rental contract for applying the retirement visa in Bangkok. As per immigration’s request, application for retirement visa should submit the rental contract. However, my family and I will have 3 persons in total stay in the condo, but normally only one person will sign the contract. Then, how can the remaining 2 persons show the rental contract to immigration. Is there anyone have the same situation and finally solved. Anyone can teach me please?

By the way, is it a must to also show the rental receipt as requested by immigration.

Thank you so much.

I have just moved home and my new landlord has filed a TM30.

Do I need to do anything else at immigration (Chaengwattana) before I can renew my O visa extension of stay (based on retirement)? I will take the new rental contract and map along with the usual documents for the extension of stay process.

Google searches have been confusing about the need for a TM28 and have even suggested that you may need a signed copy of the landlord’s owner blue book.

Thanks for helping clarify for me.

Any SCB or UOB branches in bangkok that allows foreigners to open a bank? (Tourist Visa)

Friend has -Embassy letter -Rental contract

Extension of stay non-OA (marriage). Hi all, my extension is up on the 31st of this month and I want to get my new extension sooner rather than later. Besides the TM.7 application, copies of everything in the passport, the bank letter confirming 40K/month, and copies of all bank statements, copy of my rental contract, what else do I need to prepare?

Also, this will be the 2nd year of this type of visa. Do I have to go through the extensive interview process again and do I have to deal with the dreaded home visit by 6 police again???

Thanks in advance for your help.
