I was just turned away from immigration for a certificate of residence because my o retirement visa will not be in place till April 15 .

I have a current lease for 6 months and all I need to do is purchase a car and get a license...

Hi everyone,

I went to Taiwan Taipei Thai embassy on Wednesday Dec 17 9am to apply soft power Muay Thai they told me to come bakc at 3 pm and came late so they told me to come back the next day 3pm. They asked me a few questions like how long have you been in Thailand what do you do for work do you have a Thai bank account they asked me when I first came to Thailand 2018 as a tourist in and out and got stuck out when covid happened. Officially moved to Thailand when I opened a business and worked in it because of covid business slowed down a lot amd we shut it down. After shutting it down I did a education visa and tried to apply for,the Thai elite visa but got refused because education visas were frowned upon (a blessing for me I’d say) and the DTV came out applied for it and got approved picked up my passport.

Now I’m having trouble applying for a motorbike license went to 2 places they both refused because I didn’t have a work permit.im under 50 retired. Anyone know a legit place in Bangkok preferably sathon Rama 3 area.

Thank you all in Advance for taking the time to read this.

Successfully got a certificate of residence for driving license. Immig Div 1, Bangkok.

Saw a number of posts about this and sharing the list of requirements. In my case previous 90-day report was not available since I leave every month. So needed to also photocopy evidences from the passport that I never spent more than 90 days in Thailand - so departure and arrival stamps throughout the period.

The TM30 also needs to ideally match your LATEST arrival date. Since I did not know this I had to request from the landlady on the spot and it can only be dated within 24 hours. This was accepted.

Do you have to make an appointment to get a new driving licence on samui, or just turn up?

Changed my address on my driving licence

Do I need to change address or renew my international driving permit

Has anyone by chance tried to renew their 5 yr driving licence yet with the dtv?

Went to dlt yesterday and they said can only renew for a 2 yr licence because only have 6 month stamp in the passport, even though the visa is valid for 5 year!

How long does a residence certificate last please? Cheers!

What is an appropriate document to prove your current location?

Hi folks,

I moved here to Thailand 6 months ago. I've got a non O visa that I will be extending for 1 year based on marriage.

My name is on the title of my wife's and my house and I have just been issued with a Thai I.D. card (pink).

Is anyone able to explain to me the benefits and rights that my Thai I.D. card extends to me?

Sincere thanks in advance for your kind consideration.

Just wanted to share that I successfully got the Residential Certificate today at the Chaeng Wattana Immigration Office. I have a DTV. I brought them my TM-30 that my landlord gave me a week after I moved in; a copy of the info page of my passport; a copy of my visa and entry stamp, and that’s it. I checked the boxes for wanting to get a drivers license and buying a car and so they charged 400 baht which I paid right there in cash. They gave me a little slip as receipt and said it would reach me in seven days by post. Also, I’ve only been here for 42 days so the 90 day requirement/report was not necessary there. Hope this helps
