Certificate of residence
Certificate of residence
Sorry, another dumb question.
Now, I have got these in the past, but from Korat. And I can't recall what I needed to get them. And my circumstances were different then in any case.
Okay, I have downloaded the relevant form for immigration, but I'm damned if I can find what the supporting evidence is that I need?
I know passport and that I can get pics there, my COA has been notified to immigration by my other half and is now on their records and a copy pinned in my passport.
Anything else?
Thanks.

Re: Certificate of residence
Right, I got my certificate of residence earlier, required for renewing my driving license. For the sake of completeness and to help anyone who hasn't yet done this, here's what I did -
Downloaded the form from here - it's number 36.
https://www.immigration.go.th/download/
I completed the form in words then printed it off, signed it and attached two passport photographs.
I photocopied the following from my passport:
Identity page of passport
Date permitted to stay
COA slip (to Hua Hin) stapled into passport
Departure card
I also took a photo copy of my other half's ID card (not signed and dated as she is away)
I obviously took my passport as well as the Blue book (not needed, not looked at).
I went to the office dealing with such applications, handed everything over, paid my 500 baht 'fee', waited outside while they dealt with everything and a few minutes later, the door opened and I was handed the certificate along with my returned passport.
One curious thing, when I handed over the completed application I was asked whether I was going to renew my license at Cha am or Pranburi and this was added to my application. I dont know if that has made its way onto the actual certificate?

Re: Certificate of residence
They always ask that, so once you have it, you are committed. However, some friends decided to use Cha-Am when Pranburi said no, and Immigration changed the letter free of charge.

Re: Certificate of residence
Okay, thanks for that - they never asked that in Korat, where I got my last residents cert when buying my truck. Maybe there wasn't a choice?

Re: Certificate of residence
I got my residence cert in Hua Hin, and when asked to choose a DLT office, I chose Cha Am. However, I ended up using the DLT in Khon Kaen of all places, and no one there cared that it said Cha Am.
All I needed for my residence cert was a rental contract, passport, and 2 photos.

Re: Certificate of residence
Not everyone has a rental agreement. I just like to go forearmed. In effect, I got mine with passport, 2 photos and photocopy of other half's ID. It was my first experience at HH, so went with all the stuff needed at Korat. In fact at Korat, I needed a letter from my other half confirming I was living at her address.

Re: Certificate of residence
Hello
Can anybody advise me as how to get a cert of residence ( from thai immigration@ Hua Hin ) without being in the country for 90 days prior to application ??
Is there an agent that can facilitate this ??
I wish to get my Irish driving licence converted to a Thai licence/ apply for Thai licence - And I wish to purchase a car ( and finance part of same. )
( I don't want the hassle of another overnight trip to my embassy in bkk ,and I have been told for car finance a Thai immigration cert is preferred over an embassy cert )
I got my Thai Elite 'PE' visa stamped into my passport at chang wattana this week and that's what I was told - a 90day reports needs ? To be done first
Which is troublesome for me as I may. Leave Thailand next month
Thereby resetting the 90 day rule again
Any advice gratefully appreciated
( I have not found the thai elite staff to be able to think outside the box so far when I have asked them questions )
Cheers

Re: Certificate of residence
Have you tried asking at HH immigration for the cert of residence or the police station without your 90 days stamp ? Not sure if police station still do them but they used to.

Re: Certificate of residence
Hi
Can it be done without a 90 day stamp then ??
I got different answers to this at chang wattana
( it seems ridiculous( to me ) to require one )
I will try both tomorrow -nothing to loose
Thanks

Re: Certificate of residence
you will find that at each immigration center you will receive a different answer to the same question. Welcome to Thailand, the land of everything backwards, where the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing and thinking is not a requirement.
Re: Certificate of residence
Is there any good visa agent in Hua Hin that may be able to assist me in getting a cert of residence ???
Re: Certificate of residence
So both immigration and the police station refused?

Re: Certificate of residence
I actually have not been there yet ( I am stuck out in Kasetsart Veterinary all morning with dog that needs sudden surgery )
I was stopped on the way there by the police who happily took 500 from me but could not confirm if they issue a cert of residence Or not
So prob more confusion at immigration
Hence my request for a visa agent in Hua Hin that possibly may be able to get it done
Any names you could recommend ??
Thanks

Re: Certificate of residence
There's a few on Facebook advertising retirement visas, overstays cleared etc but not sure if they are based in Hua Hin.
