It seems you are in the wrong business and sound like the kind of Landlord I would give a very wide berth to. I have rented from the same family since 1999 without issue. Over that time a number of things have been replaced through wear and tear or needed renovation without dispute.

All kinds of changes have been made with Police Orders without any Parliamentary involvement, including changes from 200k to 800k (albeit grandfathered).

Valid for 12 months without the need for exit and reenter every 90 days? That is what is required with NON O/B one year multiple entries.

I have always (since the 400k BS) handed them a 1 yr statement and never had it handed back. For Bt200 why take the risk of a refused extension is my thinking (dedicated account so inactive).

Been here 27 years and never asked for a TM30 until last year. What province, one where they are still waiting to have telephone lines laid?

You are never in Immigration's TM30/TM47 database - never do TM47, and if no TM30 filed, not in database and no TM30 check on exit.

Sorry I ws replying to a Samuut Prakaan related ost - should have delineated. I went through the doc check desk at CW with no TM30 in my pack and it wasn't asked for, another IO came up to me as I was waiting and asked to check my docs (I said already done that) and she told me I needed a TM30. The IO for extension cross referenced hard copy with what was in their records.

Most are actually unconscious at the time of death - there is a hierarchy of shutting down of the body and once the kidneys shut down urea levels rise and put you to sleep like barbiturates. I agree the journey to that end stage might not be easy.

Must have been an OA visa? Criminal background check required? Tattooed faces not seen as an indication of criminality.

As others have said, that is a huge red flag right thee.

I think I read somewhere that they won't let you in the Que without a hard copy TM30 now.

Assuming your Landlord is an honest person rather than a deposit thief. That doesn't seem to be the case.

We'll probably be reading that a retiree was deported after getting in a heated argument with a supervisor over the necessity of a TM30.

Better safe than sorry.

No, it was in response to your point that while one IO at CW may say not needed, you may have a situation with another IO not sharing this view.

I would advise all to ignore this. *SOME* people are reporting no TM30 asked for but it seems increasingly that chances are that if you don't have a TM30 you will leave empty handed. Better safe than sorry.

100% this.

Lucky guy, is there any chance you could put me on ignore too? I find them far more useful than anything you have ever posted. He posted a very helpful trip report. All you do is assert that a TM30 is not needed based on your exceptional experience to date and a link from another poster. Last year was the FIRST time I have been asked for one. Chances are anyone who turns up without a TM30 to do an extension now is going to return empty handed.

In the most part it is because they are dishonest cheats. HTH

Border runs every 90 days on Non O and stay at wife's house?

They're so thoughtful.

It is because of people staying [often illegally] in condos that we all have to do a TM30.

They regard it as key money. They keep it when the tenant has moved out so how does that keep good tenants? If you pay the last two months the Landlord likely stiffs you, if you don't and sneak out you stiff the landlord for the utility bills - which is their justification for not accepting you not pay last two months in lieu of deposit return. People saying they have always got their deposit back should share their secret. I got my deposit back once after a very nasty argument in which he accused me of changing the locks and when I told him that was BS and he knew it his reply was a "I pay poleet [so what are you going to do about it]" His wife's intervention was the reason I got it back. Honest Landlords exist, but seem to be the minority. I don't doubt I will get my deposit back because I am dealing with high standard of conduct people, but that is so rare that it has hindered my moving.

Friend went to court - judge split the 2 months down the middle.

It's good to know Thai prisons have helicopters on standby to airlift any inmate who gets sick to hospital.
