jimmiejackson Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Hi all, This is for my friend again. He has just gotten married and is preparing all the documents for his extension of stay. He will be going from an extension of stay on a Non Imm B (based on business) to an extension of stay based on marriage. Extension of stay based on business is not possible this time round due to not enough Thai staff in the company. ANYWAY... He has everything he needs except his foreign landlord (who owns the condo he rents) has lost his house book/tabien baan so he is missing that and apparently has to wait 2 weeks for a replacement (which is after his current EOS expires). He already has the letter from the condo office, the lease agreement, bills in his name, the landlord's signed passport copy.... Assuming he can't extend due to this missing document, he can still do a 60 day extension of stay based on "Visiting Thai Wife" while he sorts out the Tabien Baan thing right? Most important question - is his Work Permit still "valid" whilst he is on this extension? Thanks as always! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJAS Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Assuming that the landlord's tabien baan is for proving address purposes, doesn't your friend have an alternative method of proving his address such as a utility bill with his name and address included on it? Or are Immigration insisting on the tabien baan in his case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are Immigration insisting on the tabien baan in his case? I only assume he needs it because I supplied (to prove my address) by lease agreement, a letter from the Condo office confirming I stay there, my (Thai) landlord's Tabien Baan and ID card signed. I also had bills but wasn't asked for them. How can I check with Immigration to see what they HAVE to see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 A copy of lords ID card would also be needed.. Surprised he doesn't have a copy someplace. He could try with what he has got. He could get the 60 day extension. It will have no affect on his work permit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are Immigration insisting on the tabien baan in his case? Many immigration offices are asking for the rental agreement along with copies of landlords house book and ID card. The house book is to prove ownership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Ubonjoe (was waiting for you to chime in So good news he can get the 60 day extension and his WP is still valid (gives the LL time to get his act together) His landlord is British so whilst for a Thai Landlord an ID card and Tabien Baan would be normal, for a British landlord (logically...) surely just a passport copy would be the equivalent?

ubonjoe Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 A passport would be it for a non Thai. I made a wrong assumption. The 60 day extension is good because it is an extension of a non immigrant visa entry/permit to stay. So no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddy B Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 When I have applied for my non O extension of marriage, apart from a map to where I live plus pics; never have I needed a copy of rental/lease agreements or my land owners house owners book before.
