wcoast Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Stopped by immigration today in Mae Sai, as I just got paperwork from my landlord and wanted to be sure it was in order before I return for my non B extension request. I had signed copies of my landlords ID, his book house, the book house where I'm renting, and an immigration form with his particulars and a small mention of the property I'm renting. The officer said I'd also need a rental contract, is this really necessary? I've lived there for a year already and although I dont have plans to move, I don't want to feel like I'm obligated to stay there as it is a month to month rental. I'd submit and sign the contract if I could notarize that its not legally binding on my staying at this residence. Comments and such please.

paz Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Standard rental contract cost 20 Baht at stationery shop. It can be for one month if you want. It only has to be signed by landlord, not notarized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcoast Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 OK, so the contract can be for a month and not cover the 1 year of my extension. I was under the impression I'd have to commit to a year at this address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paz Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 No they are just making it difficult with "proof of residence". Foreigners are still able to change home in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigt116 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Was not aware that an extension of stay based on employment required proof of residence, I have never had to provide one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can do is to repeat that............... every immigration reserves the right to see "further documentation" at their request in each case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomtomtom69 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Was not aware that an extension of stay based on employment required proof of residence, I have never had to provide one. Neither have I. The only thing I've ever provided was my address that I wrote myself or a photocopy of the back of my driver's licence, which shows my address. Chachoengsao immigration accepted that once too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
