Can an electric bill be used as proof of residency in Thailand instead of a driver's license?
Has anyone had success using an electric bill instead of drivers license for proof of residence? I was told you need a Driver’s license as proof of residence, but I only have a passport, and electric bill. (Not in USA so I can’t get a DL)
Answer summary
The question raised concerns about using an electric bill as a valid proof of residence in Thailand when a driver's license is not available. Several users in the comments have noted that utility bills like gas or electric can serve as proof, while others mentioned the importance of obtaining an official residency statement. It was also suggested that having a TM-30 form is necessary for residency proof.
