I did it myself and provided photos, ticket out of TH I think (cheap one i never used), a print out of bank balance, passport and fee. That is all iI think (no need to show addresses in TH or PP).
You already made this point to me when you contacted me on messenger and I acknowledged it.
The point of me making the post was to establish if TM30 was needed; or if the landlord was right and it was not needed. She claimed that it was not needed based on experience.
However, Phil kindly posted that it was indeed needed from his experience recently. It was unclear to me, from his post, if he registered for the TM30 on the same day he applied for the extension. It seems he did not – rather the hotel registered for him when he moved in, and he also mentioned that immigration requires at least 5 days in a hotel.
My understanding now is that I can try to register the TM30 myself if I do it in person and have a letter of authorization, blue book and landlord’s passport.
So, yes, I can try this. However, since the landlord does not seem to be aware of the process I wanted to establish clearly if the TM30 was needed or not. Since the answer seems to be a clear yes then I have let her know.
I may indeed have to go to Jomtien: but if she realizes that she was mistaken then she could also do it online herself and save me and future tenants both the “slog” and the confusion.
I see. So hotel would have done TM30 for you when you checked in, no?
Unfortunalty, I am in an airbnb for a month and have already been here for 4 days with owner insisting i do not need TM30. It seems it should have filed as soon as I arived but was not.
To book into a hotel for 5 days on top of the cost of the airbnb is not really something I had planned......but thanks for the advice.
