Is a TM30 needed for a tourist visa extension?

[DanceAllNight]

hey, i need to extend my tourist visa.

i am staying with a thai friend's family.

will they ask about a TM30 form when I go to get the tourist visa extension?

i've not done the TM30 before.

or should i just stay in a hotel for a few days and use that address?

Depends on the office you apply at. Some do want a TM30 with a signed copy of the owner/house-masters ID and house book

If you stay in a hotel and use that address a TM30 won't be needed, but some offices might want to see a receipt from the hotel showing it's address.

and by the way, where do i get this tm30 form?

if i need it for the visa extension, does the owner need to go with me? or just sign and show ID card? oiiiii........ time to move on, eh?

No the owner doesn't need to go with you just sign the copies.
