Anyone else had trouble obtaining a letter of residence (residence certificate) at Bangkok immigration recently? -

I took all the requested documents to apply for a letter of residence. The officer took a long time looking over all the documents and noticed there was a single character typo on the rental agreement address. Informed me to amend and re-sign the rental contract with the landlord (fair enough). Then asked me to pay 400 baht (the official website says ‘no fees’ so I was confused but agreed).

After the amended rental agreement was completed and a new TM.30 submitted online by the landlord they are now asking me for more documents -

◦ House registration

◦ Owner Passport page

◦ Condo title deed (front and back)

◦ The owner signs and certifies that all pages are copies of the correctness.

Is this all normal just for a letter of residence? Or did the rules change very recently? It took me weeks just to get the TM30 from the landlord so feel like I got no chance getting all that from them 🥹.

The landlord is a foreigner (condo) if that makes a difference?

Hi all. The school that I was working for is planning to cancel my work permit. Is it correct that my visa will automatically be canceled, too? Is there anything that I must do before going for a boarder run? The school isn't helping me to explain this thoroughly.

If I am currently in Phu Quoc, Vietnam, is it still possible to apply online through the embassy in Hanoi or HCM? Or do I have to physically be in those cities?
