Thanks heaps. Really appreciate your advice.

First post on here - thanks in advance for your help.

I've read through this thread and it appears that legally a landlord/house owner/condo/apartment owner is required to submit a TM-30 form for foreigners that are residing in their residence. Some people are never asked about this when they go to extend/report at immigration and others have been fined. Seems that its up to the immigration officer. I get that. 

For me - I am on an education visa and need to extend at the end of July at CW in Bangkok. I'm staying in a studio apartment building and have a very uncooperative manager/staff here who told me yesterday that they wouldn't be submitting a TM-30 form because they're worried if they do it once, they have to do it all the time. Not a lot I can do about that. I've already paid 2 months rent as a deposit so moving on isn't a very attractive option.

So my question is - what options do I have? Can I submit the TM-30 form myself and see if I get a receipt back? If I take my rental lease agreement/contract to immigration with photos of my place, receipts of paying rent are they likely to let me away with it? I feel like my hands are tied! Any advice/help would be massively appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
