qwab32 Posted Friday at 08:44 AM Share Posted Friday at 08:44 AM Hi. I'm in Thailand on a METV (UK). I arrived 24th December. I moved into a condo in Phuket on the 14th February. The condo is a sub let from the previous tenant who moved back to Bangkok. I'm named on the lease along with my partner. The lease is signed by the previous tenant. We have no issues with this and will see the lease out to its conclusion. I'm about to apply for a driving licence and need a letter of residence from Phuket immigration (Blue Tree). Can I use a copy of the lease agreement for the letter of residence? We contacted the managing agent for the condo and there hasn't been a TM30 completed as the actual owner doesn't know about the sub lease and we cannot get in contact with the previous tenant (our landlord). Opinions much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattaya57 Posted Friday at 08:49 AM Share Posted Friday at 08:49 AM The person renting a condo can apply for their own TM30 using the lease, but they also require a copy of the Owners ID and Chanote. So I'd say you're screwed with a probably illegal sub-lease the owner knows nothing about 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve187 Posted Friday at 08:56 AM Share Posted Friday at 08:56 AM so you moved into a condo on 14th Feb, and are now thinking of a tm30, which has to be submitted within 24 hours of arriving at the condo. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tod Daniels Posted Friday at 10:08 AM Share Posted Friday at 10:08 AM did you read the list of requirements on the Phuket Immigration Volunteer website about getting a certificate of residence? https://piv-phuket.com/residence-certificate/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will give you back and ask for a proper one. conclusion: you need to do a new contract with the owner and ask to write the date of moving in to house the day you will go and do your new TM30.. problem solved. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't this bit doing a 90 day report ( as TM30 mentioned after it), which you wouldn't be doing on a METV? Prerequisite are: Up to date address registration.

I'm not an immigration expert, hence the original post. If this means 90 day report then correct it's not relevant for me. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thailand49 Posted yesterday at 12:37 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:37 AM Curious, who are you sending your rent too? Hold the rent! Personally, depending on the original lease most likely no sub leasing? Best to find a way contact actual owners reset with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwab32 Posted yesterday at 02:25 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 02:25 AM Thanks for the input guys. I was looking to see if the lease could be used, the info provided, answered that question. Decided to leave the licence application to when I come back in October and can sort out new accommodation. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
