Yeah possibly, on their info they asked for chanote, and I assumed that was just if you were living in wifes house or something so skipped it.

But they were insistent so came back with it today and when they saw it didn't match the other docs they were no way, there needs to be paper trail detailing ownership and rental situation

@Tod ********

yes could try this thanks , IO has said they want to see marriage and death certificates from the ownership situation , and official legal docs affirming the rental management situation,

starting to become a pain might just have to move as contracts up v soon, shame it’s a nice place

Also trying to avoid having to do a visa run, get a new place to live and move all stuff in the space of a month

@Tod ********

I have a lease, lessors Id etc. all passed to IO, unfortunately it’s a weird ownership situation where the lessor isn’t the owner, owner lives abroad and chanote is still in the name of the owners deceased spouse, so challenging to provide a paper trail that satisfies the IO

Had I known this I would have dodged this bullet but you live and learn eh

@Tod ********

thanks that’s worth a try

@Tod ********

I think the IO on the family desk would reject us if with did that here, but in Bangkok it might work,thanks.

Lucky you, I mean that sounds reasonable. I really feel this laundry list they've served us is overkill, especially when we've fufilled a lot of it already, but what can you do eh, they make the rules right.

Yes in Jomtien they want a rental contract, the tabian baan for the rented property, the renter's tabian baan for where they live, the renters ID, and a chanote or equivalent.

For me the former owner has passed and it's passed to his wife, who's now living abroad and left the responsibility of renting it to her brother who's on the tabian baan but the chanote records are still in the name of the deceased, so kind of a nightmare right.

@Dca ****

Jomtien, should have put that in the post yes thanks

@Dave ********

not old enough yet, did consider DTV but then you have to leave the country every 6 months which is annoying.

ah thanks thought that might be the case, my wife suspected we'd need permission. Big shame though I could really do without having to do an annoying visa run for no real reason.
