Last renewal I had (Phuket in April) they gave me a lot of grief over my TM30. I had not gone abroad or even an overnight stay away in a hotel.

As a result, I had to return and get all new documents including a newly completed TM30 form.

I am aware that, at the time, they were targeting to ensure people were staying where they said they were, but I had been in the house 4 years and never had issues previously.

It was very frustrating but I was able to obtain all documentation from my landlords and complete my renewal on the same day.

- Je suis contente pour vous et votre mari.

Ça fait du bien d'avoir de bonnes nouvelles de temps en temps!

Very pleased for you that it has all worked out for the best..

I am also sure your attitude with the officers helped immensely.

Yes, regardless of how many years we may have been here, our different types of visas, we do occasionally make mistakes.

We are not perfect, but it's nice to know that the IOs can also be understanding and benevolent on occasion.

- If you also have the originals, as well as copies, of your medical bills, this will emphasise the legitimacy of your length of stay.
