TM30 problems!! Tomorrow I will go apply for the 1-year spouse visa. I'm currently on a 90-day non-O.

While gathering everything I need, I contacted my condo agent and asked him for the TM30. He sent it a few hours later and upon inspection I noticed the "move in" date was today, 23/10/24. Apparently they NEVER did a TM30 for me despite us having a conversation about it upon move-in and my wife and I were assured it would be done, no problem. But when I asked him for it today, he just made one up on the spot with the incorrect move in date.

So now, I am forced to go to immigration tomorrow with a rental contract that says I moved in August 10th and a TM30 that says I moved in October 23rd.

How screwed am I?

Can anyone offer advice.

I’ve applied for a motorcycle license online from my country in Australia.

I already paid 2000 BAHT, and now they are asking for medical certificate and additional 1000 Baht.

Is a medical certificate required for obtain a motorcycle license?

I’m worried this could be a scam to get more money?

Got my dtv from Thai embassy in London

Through e visa website

Very easy process

I have my own business online

£300 so 13500 baht not the 10000 I keep seeing

Different embassies are charging different amounts.

I got it within 48 hours.

Just received my DTV, issued from London. It took 7 days but that was because they wanted better images of my passport and photo. When I resent them it was issued in 2 days and cost £300. I’m a construction project manager in England which means some of my work can be done remotely

Yesterday afternoon two immigration officers visited my residence two weeks after my consideration stamp was approved and they had already visited while I was under consideration. I was irate as I felt it was an invasion of my family’s privacy and an unwarranted visit. My son was very sick, I had to cancel work as they asked to see personally and right away. They told my wife it was a random second check and they would visit a third time if a random check arised again threatening to take my passport and cancel my visa if I had not complied. I was close to losing my temper and I nearly video recorded their visit. I feel if their is a third visit next time I will video record the incident and go to the media as now my wife feels unsafe. I would just like to know if this is common practice or if they are targeting to harass us as we are a first time Non-O at their office and they have something against us for some unknown reason. I am sure a third visit would be an illegal practice?

I am an Australian citizen, aged 56, and my spouse is 50. We are currently in the early stages of applying for a Non-Immigrant Visa Type O Retirement Visa, which allows for a 90-day stay with the option to renew for up to one year. I would appreciate any insights from couples who have recently successfully obtained this visa.
