Extension, 90 Day Report, Address Change Advice

[Mike Teavee]

Looking for some advice on how best to handle an upcoming move given my extension & 90 day report are due around about the same time.

 

My current permission to stay (extension from Non-O) ends on 19th September & I normally extend 30 days before.  I’ve never done a 90 day report (usually out of Thailand at least once every 3 months) but this was originally due 19th May & I believe I now need to do it before the end of August, I have done a TM30 though this was several Exit/Enter Thailand back, address has been the same (save for holidays in Thailand) for 2 years.

 

I think my options are...

1. Extension & 90 day report at CW, move then change of address in Jomtien

2. Register New address in Jomtien (am assuming this would mean no need for 90 day report) & do extension there.

 

Current condo lease is up at the end of August & I can start the new lease anytime I want so I can time things either way

 

I’m leaning towards option 2 as it feels the easiest way but would welcome any thoughts/advice (including the TM forms that need to be completed) on how best to Do/Time things 
 

Also appreciate any recommendations for Visa Agents to help with the process, I meet the requirements for extending the Non-O but prefer to have somebody who will help ensure it gets done as painless as possible.

Two would be the best option if you have already moved to Jomtien.

Have the owner file a TM30 report to change your address.

You might still be asked for a rental agreement with copies of the owners house book ID card signed by them attached when you apply for the extension.

Thanks Joe, haven’t moved yet & the unit is owned by a family friend of the GF so can time the move as suits me best.

 

I’m thinking get the lease from the 27th August so my address change is registered before the 90 day due date then do the extension in Jomtien.

 

can I just confirm that if the new owner registers my new address I don’t have to do anything (they own several units in Jomtien so am sure they know what to do when it comes to their side of immigration reporting, it’s me that’s not sure what I have to do from my side).

If they do a TM30 report of your staying ask them for a copy of the receipt or a screenshot of it if they do them online to prove it was done if asked for it.

As I wrote before you may need the rental agreement and etc when you apply for the extension.

Jomtien is the easiest immigration in Thailand at the moment when it comes to the TM30 report. (Desk 10 is almost empty every day.) You can do it yourself as the possessor even as a tenant. You need a copy of your rental contract, a copy of the owners blue house book and Thai ID-card. (These documents you'll need anyway when doing the next 1 year extension.) Both copies signed at the bottom by the owner in blue ink. Then you fill in the TM30 form which you get at the front desk at Jomtien Immigration, or you download it and do it at home. Everything you need to enter is in your passport and the address from your contract. You fill in the form as the possessor with your new address, and then yourself again as the guest with exactly same info. Then on the second page you fill in the first line with your info once more using data from your passport. Then you need the usual copies from your passport, the photo page, last entry stamp,last extension and a copy of the departure card = TM6. Every copy signed by yourself at the bottom in blue ink. Now you hand over the pile of papers together with the passport to the girl behind the desk and she will staple the receipt (with loads of stamps on it) inside your passport. Done. I have done this myself at Jomtien Immigration 3 times when changing condo and it's totally hassle free if you have the documents above. Outside immigration you can make copies if you don't already have them for 5 baht each. Jomtien immigration doesn't ask for a TM27 or a TM28. Just the TM30. When doing your first 90 days report at desk 4, you use form TM47 (very simple form). After that when doing 90 days reports you only hand over the passport to the guy behind desk 4 and he replaces the old receipt with the new one. It's really simple and fast,just a few minutes incl waiting for your turn.
