Phuket Immigration : Who can sign the TM30 ?

[Clifford S]

Evening BMs

 

So I spent yesterday searching/reading/completing my Retirement Visa one year extension and this morning compiling bank paperwork etc.

I was reasonably nervously/doubtfully/confident I had what it takes to get an extension but failed with the TM30 form.

Didn't need it last year or the year before.

 

Was told go The big room with a TM30 form "House registration house registration". The big room was 99% full, as it was 2pm I doubted I'd get processed in time and and so did the Volunteer police.

 

Considering heading back tomorrow, question is I have a 30 year lease agreement on an apartment and we're in court with the new Thai money lending Land owner ...

 

So who can sign and HouseMaster Owner or Possessor of Residence ? Do they even check ?

 

Many thanks

Cliffy

 

Ps Or doesnt anyone know a good Visa agent (but not silly price) who can do the queuing for me ?

You can self certify. Form attached (I think)

 

Or you can just self register for on-line registration. All in Thai so need a thai reader at hand. Easy enough to do, dome it myself for a number of our places and friends places. Really only need to self declare house address.  https://extranet.immigration.go.th/fn24online/

Many Thanks LivingKata, I might give the online one a try, the form looks a bit different from the one they handed out today....

This is the form you need and you need to have the landlord or property manager sign it. Or get power of attorney to do it yourself from what I have read. Here is the correct form. Although I did sign up and do an online one as my landlord died. His son signed one for me as well as he has power of attorney and provided the documents, but I wasn't asked for a new one. I was asked back in 2015 and that one seems good still according to their computer system.

And do you sign the form yourself as HOUSE-MASTER ? And just include the name on the individual on the front page or the additional page listing names ...

 

Ps Cheers !

The first time I was asked was 2015 and I've had a retirement visa/extensions for about 12 years. I had to make two trips from Rawai. My landlord's son came and talked to them. He was going to go back home and pick up his dad! Good guy! But I just went home with the new paperwork and we filled it out together. Never been bother by them for a new one since. A very old Phuket family, who consider me family after over 12 years.

I have seen lots of posts about the TM30 especially from those in Phuket and Pattaya. And I am curious!

 

As my name on here indicates I live in Kalasin province,  on a " marriage" visa. I come and go flying in and out of Suvarnabhumi. When I do I usually stay 2 or 3 nights in a hotel in BKK and  may go to Pattaya or an island for a few days before flying on to my home in Kalasin.

 

I get visa extensions once a year at our nearest provincial immigration office in Sakhon Nakhon, which is a 3 hour drive away from home. Khon Kaen is much nearer but they will not do the extension because it is not our district IO and my visa is a marriage visa ( they would do straight retirement visa extensions).

 

My point is I have never worried about a TM 30, nor  has my wife who is I suppose the housemaster. For all I know she may be asked to sign one when we go to renew the visa extension once a year, as she's always asked to sign lots of stuff, but if she is those are the only times. No IO has ever mentioned a fine for not doing it, although one of them, the boss, likes a bit of tea money, being the 100 baht change from the 2,000 baht I hand over for the fee ( when his no.2 does the paperwork he always is scrupulous about giving the change)

 

So, apart from the change pocketed by the boss,( ha! ha!) am I missing something and should I or the wife be heading over to Sakhon Nakhon ( or Khon Kaen?) every time I arrive at my home to do this TM30 when we have as yet never done so, nor yet been fined?

Why not just register online- its simple and only takes a few minutes- plenty on here about how to do it.

was at Phuket immigration yesterday morning to get a re entry,   Many people were trying to get their notification of residency, ( they didn't make me get a new one, even thou I had just returned from a trip to Cambodia) maybe 10%  had a POA signed by the landlord and the rest were sent away.

 

Get your paperwork together BEFORE you go to immigration

 

BTW  was in and out in 15 minutes this time !!!
