What is the latest on the documents required for 30-day extension at Immigration Jomtien ?

I have been trying to purchase a Home Insurance for my condo. I have also tried to arrange for a policy that would cover my tenants, but most insurers do not cover short-term tenants. Accordingly, any tenancy that is less than a year is considered short-term. Does anyone know of any insurers who are prepared to cover short-term tenants as well ?

So if the tenant's friend stays in my room for a few nights, who is going to submit a TM30 ? If Immigration Officer comes knocking the door and realizes that the friend is only here for a few days, will the Immigration Officer believe I'm not getting paid ? I'm the house owner, and the tenant has no responsibility with respect to the Hotel Act since he does not own the apartment.

I wouldn't like my tenant to bring in a foreign guest just to save on hotel fees for a few days, not even if the foreign guest pays the fees to me. I'm concerned about the status of the law, and not whether I will be found out. In my opinion, as owner if I have a foreign guest it's my responsibility as house owner to submit a TM30. But why should I do so if he is not my guest but my tenant's guest ? I have no issue with my tenant if he stays for 30 days or more. I'll be fully in compliance with the Hotel Act. But my tenant's foreign guest ? Less than 30 days ? No charges ?

The foreigner friend does not have a local address. He is coming straight from the airport. It's my responsibility as house owner to submit TM30 for him as well, but for a few days ? I suspect I would be in breach of the Hotel Act. Of course, whether my tenant collects a fee from the foreigner friend is another issue.

As landlord, I'm responsible for the TM30 submission if I rent it out to the tenant for 30 days or more. What if the tenant decides to accommodate a foreigner friend for a few nights ? Is that an infringement of any provisions of the Hotel Act ?

"90-day reporting is your duty", your = landlord or tenant ? I take it to mean that landlord prepares the TM30 as usual, and it's the tenant who has to visit the Immigration for the 90-day reporting. Do you have the URL link for reporting online ?

First of all, is it even necessary to do a 90-day reporting for DTV ? If yes, who should do it ? If the owner should do it, isn't the TM30 sufficient ?

The Ministry of Commerce needs to work with the Lawyer's Council of Thailand. The Committee of Professional Ethics must now include a new regulation to suspend the practicing certificates of errant lawyers involved in registering such companies. The lawyers are the ones touting the "loopholes" when there is no loophole to begin with.

Russians property agents are everywhere in Pattaya, holding themselves out as marketing analysts. Come on, Ministry of Commerce.

So the Lawyer's Council of Thailand is going to spring into action and suspend the practicing licenses of their fellow members ?

Can I invite the Ministry of Commerce to go after property agencies in Pattaya too ? It's important that Russians are also represented. Of course, their business cards will not show they are property agents. They are employed as "marketing analyst". 😄 After they have analyzed the buyer they will collect a fee from the seller.

Why did the Email headlines pick up the 3 Britons ? Why not "Chinese detained in Thai nominees crackdown on foreign businesses" since Chinese is represented by a much larger figure ?

They should begin by investigating the law firms that helped register such entities. The law firms would often give assurances that it was fine to have Thai nominees. By removing a dozen of lawyers from the Thai Bar or Lawyer's Council, it will serve as an indication to potential Thai nominees that the Government means business.

Jomtien. So do the rules allow an agent to represent you ? That really is my question.
