How can I obtain a residency certificate in Nonthaburi for my driver’s license renewal?

Question

I am in need of residency certificate.

Nonthaburi will not issue a certificate of residency unless you have a long term visa.

I need this to renew my Thai drivers license that expires next month.

Things are not getting any easier here.

To obtain a residency certificate in Nonthaburi, you must have a long-term visa. However, other immigration offices, such as those in Chiang Mai, may issue the certificate more easily; they require a TM30 form and a fee. It's noted that Bangkok has updated its rules to issue the residency certificate to anyone on any visa type. Stays in hotels can facilitate the TM30 requirement. If you need further assistance, contacting local agents or expat services could provide additional help.

Quick aside.  Sorry to take over the thread. I don't have an international license, yet would take the test to acquire a legit Thai license if possible.  I don't ride a scooter here now as I don't want the random 500 baht tickets. Yet it seems to be legal they not only want a license, yet also a motorcycle license endorsement.  Any insights?  I'm on a DTV workcation visa in chaing mai. I was in the Philippines and they didn't care, here, seems a bit more strict. Cheers.

you could travel to Pattaya and get your licenses extended using an agent. They don't need much of everything

When you come back for long term stay, make sure you have your international drivers permit and then it’s exactly the same process as a renewal. Start again with a 2 year and then 5 year renewal afterwards.

Unless you don’t have a motorbike licence, then it won’t help unfortunately.

Bangkok used to have that rule a while back but changed. Now anyone can get a RC on any visa type.

Not many posts on here from people trying to use Nonthaburi so can’t confirm if they will allow or won’t. For many years i thought it was only Bangkok that had that stipulation.

As [mention redacted] stated you could get an RC from a nearby immigration office. You’d need a valid TM30 to do so for that province but stay a night in a hotel and get it from them.

Each immigration office sets their own requirement.

If you cannot get the certificate of residence from Nonthaburi, you can get it from elsewhere. I got my license in Chiang Mai, where they only require a TM30 and 500 baht to get the CoR the next day.  You can use a certificate of residence from anywhere in Thailand for a license renewal, though that's the address that will be on the license.

You can also try contacting FatBoys, as they help a lot of people with licenses in Bangkok, and you're practically in Bangkok
