TM30 - real estate agent reports online, but you still need to go and report it yourself!!!

So can someone now for once and all confirm if a TM30 is required or not? My IO is Jomtien

My experience at Jomtien is that every application required a copy of my TM30. Some examples:

 

I'm about to do a residence certificate and the document list asks for a TM30

 

I did a 90 day report last month and a copy of TM30 was required and is on the 90 day required document list on the counter

 

I did a non-imm O 12 month extension in July. I had a print out of the online TM30 I did myself. I was asked to go replace that print-out with the small TM30 slip of paper they staple into the back of passport. Luckily I didn't have to apply again, just swapped my TM30 page for the small slip of paper.

 

Countless 30 day extensions at Jomtien since 2018. All required a copy of TM30.

Yesterday I did also ask for the paperwork to do a certificate of residence, as this is something I will do later to renew my licence. Funny thing is, on the slip of required documents, it says:

 

Evidence of your address (House Book, Lease Agreement or TM30). I'm wondering if someone doesn't do a TM30 if they will just accept you bringing your lease agreement only, as per their required documents square paper slip they gave.

So this was exactly what I experienced myself yesterday. Doesn't matter if you have a TM30 online printout, everyone still needs to do the whole process as normal as if you never did a TM30 online in the first place!

I don't have a lease agreement and my blue housebook doesn't have my name in it so it's a TM30 for me

As explained, I have a house book with my name in it, so seems that is accepted instead of a TM30.

 

I can not believe that different officers at different desks overlooked the lack of a TM30 for 12 years

I didn't have to do the whole process again (that would be filling out TM30 form and attaching copies of passport, entry stamps and condo docs). I just handed over my TM30 form and they swapped it for the small TM30 slip of paper (took about 2 minutes)

Ok, so your experience was different to mine yesterday. They required the form and photocopies of everything, as if you were doing it from scratch.

When I went to them I was expecting to hear that all is fine and I don't need to bother, but they said no it's not enough, need to provide all photocopies of everything and the form and lodge it with them while waiting for over 60 people in the queue before me.

I had to wait in that TM-30 queue last year, but they only required the printout of my online-submission and passport face-page copy, then gave me the "receipt" for my passport.   Asking for the lease seems to be new (or an error by the clerk).

That's probably unlikely, considering their infatuation with TM30 notifications. I'd guess that they would simply send you to the TM30 counter with those other documents first, and tell you to come back once you have the TM30 slip.
