Bangkok Basha Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 My new landlord in Pattaya is willing to give me a lease in Thai language that I can use at Jomtien Immigration when I renew my Extension of Stay in August, having moved from Bangkok where my previous Extensions of Stay have been processed. He is also going to submit the required TM 30 as soon as I move in later this month. He has never rented to tenants who needed an official, Thai language lease before, and wonders if there will be tax implications for him when he does. Any comments or advice would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Immigration does not send any info to the revenue department. It is not their responsibility to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tell him "no". If there are tax implications for him he'll be well aware of it...if he's declaring that income. It's not your problem if he's not declaring the rental he gets from you and, as some other poster mentioned, the IB doesn't report to the Revenue Department.

Thanks a lot. I would be very surprised if they did. Chiang Wattana never looked at my Bangkok lease, just thumbed through it along with the other pieces of paper they require.

This is what I thought was probably the case, and as you say it's not my problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dionigi Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Pattaya city hall have people who's job it is to roam the streets taking photos of rental signs. My wife got a bill for a house she rents out and when she complained they had all the photos going back for a year of the rental signs and when they were gone and people in residence.

Dionigi Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 immigration at Jomtien accepts my driving license as proof of residence. even though they gave me the letter for the DVL to show my residence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. I don't have a Thailand drivers license yet, but it's on my list to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very interesting information. Fortunately, my new landlord has never posted anything about his rental- even on the building bulletin board where many others do. I believe that the building management are on the lookout for AirBnB visitors as (I think) Pattaya has a minimum 30 day rental period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
