Enzian Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I'm flying in on Friday Dec. 10, Monday the 12th is a holiday, must renew my non-O by 20. I don't know yet where I will be staying--but almost certainly not in my old rental in Trendy 13. Can I just set up in a hotel and go to Chaeng Wattana to renew and tell them that I'm in a hotel and looking for the best long term place to commit to for the next several months? and will report when I'm situated? Or must I commit to a term lease place to stay before arriving? I've been away since July, so forgot a lot of the details, but have a re-entry permit. Money is in the bank, in baht. Thanks all.

DrJack54 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 You would be obtaining a 12 month extension based on retirement? You will need a TM30 as seems you will be staying at new address. When checking into hotel make sure they are filing a TM30 and can provide you a screenshot of that.. Assume that you have met the financial requirements over past 12 months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunjeff Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I've never been asked for a lease when doing a retirement extension at CW. I've never been asked for a TM-30 either, but it would be a good idea to get one from your lodging and bring it along, just in case it's requested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzian Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 Thanks much for the two above replies. Question: If it's the owner's responsibility to file a TM30, how do I "have" it? By asking the owner to show me and taking a picture and making a screenshot? My old place in The Trendy never filed that form and said so. Another recent thread on this forum indicated that compliance and enforcement is all over the place. But I will see if i can comply. The main point I'm getting is that it is not necessary at first to have a long term commitment in writing to extend a non-O by reason of retirement. I meet all the other requirements I believe. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adumbration Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 My immigration requires a photo of my house, a photo of me standing in front of my house, a google map of my house location AND.....a hand drawn map of the house location....for a non O extension. Back when I was renting they wanted copy of the lease AND signed photocopy of Thai Landlords ID card. They like to get that information because it opens the door for some tea money in the advent that the Thai land lord has failed to lodge the TM30.

I would go there first in the morning and then out to CW. But thanks for reminding me of that step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
