Han Thomas no, the landlord does not have to file the TM30. That guy is not a tenant of him! The landlord has ZERO obligations in this case.

GentleGoose6420 you can't get a bank account opened if you did not enter on a Non-Imm-visaclass (unless you pay up from 60,000 THB to an agent for the so called "full package"). The bank account with a minimum of 400,000 THB sitting in it, is crucial for the application to the 12-months extension (at least in the first year for citizens from countries whose embassies do not issue income affidavits any more). So YES, the advantage is that having applied for the 90-days Non-Imm-O Retirement Visa BEFORE you wing your way to Thailand, opens the door to the bank account and the 12-months extension much easier and for less expenses

Tom Attermann Henriksen what do you not understand? The premises are rented by a Thai woman. Her boyfriend has nothing to do with the rental contract, that's why the owner or landlord does NOT NEED TO DO ANYTHING. In case he reports the farang online per TM30, this would be COMPLETELY voluntary on the landlord's behalf

Per Lund but she cannot report his TM30 because she does not have a blue housebook and she is not the owner

Khun Philippe the girlfriend is renting the place he says

Khun Philippe a completely different situation, my dear

Sukanya Maksamlee well he is free to do it or not. The house owner has ZERO obligations.

He would do them a favour, however he does NOT HAVE TO register the boyfriend, simply because he did not rent out the premises to the boyfriend. It is a matter of principles

Michael Clark the house owner has ZERO obligations.

He would do them a favour, however he does NOT HAVE TO register the boyfriend, simply because he did not rent out the premises to the boyfriend.

@Roz ************

he CAN but he does not HAVE TO

Steve Demir the house owner has ZERO obligations.

He would do them a favour, however he does NOT HAVE TO register the boyfriend, simply because he did not rent out the premises to the boyfriend. It is a matter of principles.

The house owner can theoretically REFUSE to do a TM30, he does not have to allow the presence of the boyfriend inside the rented-out premises.
