We stay in a rented house. We have all the papers normally needed ( marriage papers, phtotos, contract, copies of housebooks, copy of owners id, TM30 receipt etc ). Jomtien immigration requires more. We should have more papers related to the house. Chanote or buying contract. We dont have either and it looks not easy to get those. Owner can not find the buying contract. Owner is a thai who owns several properties. Chanote is in bank ( loan security ). Owner is traveling and can not visit land office where he he may be able to get copy of chanote or some other document which helps.

This is my first one year extension. That may explain why they require more.

We have talked with immigration police several times. They are quite friendly but say that regulations are strict now.

We could move to a hotel but we need to have long contract. How long is enough? That we dont know.

We can move into a cheap condo for a while but how can we be sure we get good enough papers of the condo? How long contract is long enough when applying one year extension?

Positive is that our own papers and witness and his papers were ok from the beginning. Now we just have to find a place where we are allowed to stay with extension.

Does the owner have a house book for the house. The is what immigration normally wants for proof of ownership.

Immigration asks for a copy of the owners ID card and house book to go with the rental agreement as standard procedure.

He did not state which house book he was writing about. He only clearly mentioned the owners ID.

He may of been writing about his wife's house book.

I do not understand what it has to do with immigration how long the owner has owned the property and if money is owing on it. if I was the owner I know what I say

If you can't resolve the house problem, maybe best to look for temporary solution. Maybe ALSO find a cheap apartment who confirms before you commit to it that they can provide all the necessary paperwork, use that for your application, then go stay at the house (wife informing immigration of change of address and you informing on your next 90 days report) and get the paperwork in order for the house for next years application.

Yes. We have two signed house book copies from owner. One house book is for house we are renting and the other one is owners own house book where he is living himself. There is nobody listed on the house book of the house we are renting. I guess it should be normal if someone owns several houses?

I understood that immigration want more proof linking the owner to the house we are renting.

"The is what immigration normally wants for proof of ownership."

Even though the book doesn't show ownership?

What kind of rental apartment would be best for getting one year extension?

- condo owned by thai company ( company renting several condos for long and short term rentals )

- condo owned by thai person

- condo owned by farang

We are planning to move. If everything goes well we loose only 15 000baht in deposits and other costs.

The first two you listed.

Now we moved to a condo. My application for extension based on marriage was accepted ( to be processed ) and I got four weeks temporary stamp.

In this condo the housebook of the condo is not empty. The problem with the earlier house was that there was no person on the housebook of the house. In that case immigration want to see chanote or house purchase contract.

Now the required paperwork was as normal for marriage extension:

all related thai persons ( wife, witness, condo owner ) have to give copy of id and copy of their housebook

housebook of condo

photos in and out, with and without witness

bankbook copies and statement

copies of passport pages

TM30 registation slip

etc
