@brianthainess I reserved the stay through Agoda homestay. It's an apartment, so I guess it's basically like Airbnb? (I didn't know Airbnb was illegal here!) I was debating to argue with her about TM30, but I didn't want any troubles so yeah :^(

Thanks a ton everyone for the replies. I was so lost when my landlord said she won't file TM30 for me ????
I guess since I stayed at a hotel before and they reported TM30 online, I will just go to the immigration office for visa extension. If something goes wrong, I guess I will prepare myself to pay the penalty and extend the visa.

I believe the fine is 1600 baht and not 800 baht. At least that is what I was fined and I got a receipt.

@toolpush Oh wow, so you didn't have TM30 and was fined 1600 baht? After paying the fine, were you able to extend your visa at the immigration office right away? Thanks a ton for the info btw.

You could book into a hotel that files a TM30. Explain that you want them to file TM30 and give you printout.

I was at a hotel a week ago for 1 day, and I believe they filed me for TM30 (I remember them saying that they have to report my stay and copied my passport). Should I book another hotel for another TM30 a day before visa extension? or maybe that's not necessary? Thank you by the way for the reply!

Hello,

I'm looking to extend my Special Tourist Visa (STV) next week, and unfortunately, my landlord will not file TM30 for me. I have been looking for alternative options to obtain TM30, and I was wondering if anyone could help me verify whether the below method works or not :^(

1. Stay at a hotel for 1 day, and after hotel files for TM30, apply for visa extension. (Btw, I stayed at a hotel a week ago for 1 day, and I remember that they used my passport to file for TM30. However, should I book another hotel a day before I go in for visa extension or would that be unnecessary?)

2. Pay 800baht penalty for not having TM30 and extend visa.

Thank you so much for your help!

Hello,

I'm posting a question here regarding the documents that are needed for STV extension. 

I was at Thai Immigration (Temporary VISA Extension Center) today and one Immigration Officer looked at my STV and brought 2 other officers to discuss about the documents that were needed for extension. (I'm not sure but there was somewhat confusion amongst the officers about the requirements) 

In the end, they asked me for the following. I had everything except #4 and #5. Was anyone else required to bring the below as well?

1. Copy of passport, STV visa, TM6, TM7, STM2

2. ASQ certificate letter stating that you've completed 14 days quarantine

3. ASQ payment receipt
4. Health Insurance "Endorsement" form (Not the Insurance Certificate) 
5. TM30 

If anyone submitted TM30 for STV extension, what are the steps to acquire TM30?  

Thank you for all of your help!  

After coming to Thailand under visa exemption scheme, would you be able to apply for a STV visa?
