jellymeister Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 (edited) Sorry that should read apartment or condo! Is this legal or is a 3 month visa of some sort required. Also would immigration make any stink about extending a 60 day visa if one listed one's residence address as an aparrtment rather than a hotel i.e. immigration somehow deciding that the applicant is residing here and not really a tourist, thereby rejecting a 30 day extension on 60 day visa? Advice appreciated Edited September 29, 2008 by jellymeister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astral Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I am not aware that it is illegal. Renting an apartment is generally cheaper than staying in a hotel. I know of people who rent an apartment for a whole year, then come and go on tourist visa when they wish to. Immigration may take a different view, when you ask for an extension but I do not recollect seeing that in the forum. Make sure that once you move into the apartment you register you new address with Immigration. This may help avoid problems when you want an extension.

Buzby Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I have had no problems with immigration when applying for the 30 day extension on my tourist visas. Have been here 1 year on tourist visas and always quote my rented apartment address on immigration/application forms when asked for 'address in Thailand'.

sniffdog Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 No, no problem at all. Tourists live in apartments. I am a 15 year tourist veteran and have only lived in apartments. Had tourist visas, visa exempts etc etc. Take a look at the immigration office at Suan Phlu. You''ll find tourists in business suit and three mobile phones.

bjhabal Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 They have answered your questions correctly, I usually state my house address in every government form, including tourist visa application form, extending visa form, entering without a visa form, exit and reentry application form and so on... Condos ,apartments and/or houses are not deferent from a hotel rooms, as it can be rented in a daily,weakly, monthly or yearly basis. Do not worry.
