ORIGINAL POSTERHi everyone! 👋
Has anyone applied for a thai tax ID or driving licence while on a DTV visa?
I already have a European driving licence, but not sure if DTV status is accepted for these..
If you’ve done it recently, could you please share which documents asked for especially in Phuket? 🙏
I’ve heard some people couldn’t get the Certificate of Residence with DTV, so just wondering what worked for you to get tax ID and/or licences
