I doubt imm at Jomtien would want to give problems to clients using agents. 

 

Many using agents wouldn't even be aware of their own address!

Last week at Jomtien they asked for the first time in 18 years living at the same address ( do you own your own house)

But we already do 90 day reports!

Must be some change, they must have evidence people are lying about where they live, maybe even those in Bangkok getting Jomtien extensions 

If doing an out-of-area extension in Jomtien, they would likely be using agents - then no "home check" occurs.  A DIY-er not using an agent could just do it a CW - is all "by the book" there.

Just renewed my 1 year O extension yesterday at Jomtien Immigration.  Must say the process was the quickest ever. Documents checked in 5 minutes, wait 5 minures at desk 8 then agreed in another 5 minutes. Out in 15 minutes.

BUT at the end the IO gave me a telephone number and said someone would be coming to my condo to take my photo !! Never had this before, what is the purpose, to prove i live at the address quoted? They already have my TM30.

the answer is "yes!" they don't even trust their own shadow! 

before i had to make 1 pic inside and 1 pic outside w house as background.

now they want me to hold a paper with house nr written on it!

years ago i stopped wondering why this or that... T.I.T. !

Where are "they" located in your case? The Chiang Mai or Jomtien immigration office??
