BKK It is unethical to ask someone for their personal financial info. The landlord is not obligated to pass out such documents to tenants. Especially as it is the same landlord that I had last year when I got the extension no problem.

I have been declined my retirement extension due to a strange issue. I rent from a private landlord. For the first time in many years being here the IO is requesting personal info about my landlord. First they asked for the landlord's title deed on the condo. I obtained that but they did not accept it because the deed was in the bank's name because the landlord has a mortgage. Now they want a copy of the landlord's mortgage contract with the bank to prove he is not a nominee. I already gave the TM 30 which the landlord obviously submitted. The landlord does not want to give out this personal financial info with the bank and I don't blame them. Has anyone else had this kind of issue where immigration is wanting all types of personal info from their landlord?

Hi, I just got a new Non-O visa as my old one with retirement extension expired while here in the UK. I am returning to Thailand next month and will get the extension and stay in Thailand permanently. My Thai partner is here and will return with me, she has been coming back and forth from here for the past 4 years. I will be shipping a Movecube crate of personal belongings such as clothes, a 65 inch tv, 2 bicycles, kitchen items and various small personal items. Does anyone have experience with this? I plan to ship it in my Thai partner's name, is that best or is my name better? I figure she could haggle with duties agents in Thai. I don't have a work permit, just a non-o visa based on us having a son, we are not married. Will we be smashed with duties? We have a shipping agent but they are not responsible for customs duties etc. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
