I live in Nonthaburi and need to get a driver's license. In order to do that, one of the documents needed is a certificate of residence from immigration. I went to Nonthaburi immigration yesterday and was informed that they nolonger issue these and that l need to ask my embassy to provide the certificate/letter. I contacted my embassy and they said they do not issue these either. Now I'm frustrated and stuck😭 Does anyone know how to go about this?

Got mine at local police station, not immigration.

That's not right... They definitely issue residency certificates at immigration. Maybe you spoke to someone who didn't understand what you wanted. Try again.

I will try all the avenues you've suggested. Thank you everyone, l really appreciate all the useful information. Hopefully it will all work out.

Some immigration offices require you to be on a long term visa and have done at least one 90 day report before they will issue them. Some DLT offices also require this.

Welcome to thailand 😊

The nonthaburi​ should issue them, they did in the past and they are supposed to. You might have had a misunderstanding. I also believe they do require a 90 day report same CW office.

Agent or tell the 2 parties that someone has to give in and do it because both are denying you.

Contact a Thai visa agent. Generally they can help with this form of stuff. Or put a shout out in a local FB group asking how others have done it.
