Forget about the 90 day report. Just pay 60 bucks every year (or with DTV never since you leave anyway after half a year) and you feel free from the hassle and brainless government surveillance. You will thank me later. (I haven't done it for years and boy does it feel great to be free in the land of smiles)

The Landlord / owner of the place you are staying, has to do the TM30 ( by law ).
The residence certificat you get at the Immigration office ( if qualified )
Driving license you get at the DLT.

Yeah BKK is annoying for this. Had this problem trying to get Residence Certificate for buying new bike. Instead I came to Pattaya where it is super easy and can get on shorter term visa. I think in Chiang Mai as well you don't need long term visa.

@Nova *************************
try them
David **********
Do it yourself it’s rather but not necessarily easy. I will help you understand the process and get to know the immigration folks. You’ll start to get to know them.
John **********
Wherever you are staying should have done a TM30 for you. Ask them for a copy
Kay *********
OPYes I said that but they are renting the guest house and don't want to....
John **********
@Kay ********
sounds like an illegal operationJohn **********
Go and check into a legitimate guest house or hotel and they will register you
Kay *********
OP@John *********
the guest house in Bangkok will not do it for me as only staying there 5 nightsJan ******************
Kay *********
OP@Jan *****************

OP@Jan *****************

@Kay ********
they are legally required to do it within 24 hours of your arrivalStephen *********
@Kay ********
they have to register you regardless of how long you stay.Jim ***********
Go immigration it's free
Kay *********
OP@Jim **********
thanks but I would like to get the ball rolling now, my rental agreement is in trat so I'm not sure if Bangkok will supply me with everything and want to buy the car in Bangkok so don't want to go all the way to trat just for paperwork then back up to Bangkok ....
Tony **********
@Kay ********
why not buy the car and then go to the provincial capital DLT in your province to get new plates for the car there when you transfer ownership? No need to go to DLT in Bangkok unless you're living there.Jim ***********
@Kay ********
OK probably impossible thenJim ***********
@Kay ********
understand now. Originally I used agent Phuket but was years ago. Was on TR visa back then and can't remember what I needed. Bkk probably stricter than what I needed back then . Good luck 👍Kay *********
OP@Jim **********
that's why I thought a reputable agency would be the best way forward....Jan ******************
@Jim **********
Only if you’re on a long stay visa and have done your first 90 days report they will issue a residence certificate in Bangkok.Tore *********
@Jan *****************
not true anymore. 90 day report not needed, got my CoR yesterday. I applied a couple weeks after i arrivedJan ******************
@Tore ********
See my comment above
Stuart *********
@Jan *****************
Not true anymore. They’ll issue on any visa type now - even exempt.Stuart *********
@Jan *****************
Yes. That was the policy. Changed a few weeks ago.Jan ******************
@Stuart ********
Good if that’s the case, based on several feedback over time Bangkok have been quite strict regarding residence certificate if you haven’t done your first 90 days report.🤙Jim ***********
@Jan *****************
if not on visa why would anyone want a thai licence? Tourists use international permitNigel ********
@Jim **********
Because IDP is only valid for 3 months in country maximum Otherwise all your insurances are void if you have an accidentJan ******************
@Jim **********
I didn’t have a motorcycle license from home, so I took the motorcycle license the regular Thai way with theoretical and practical test in Thailand on a visa exemption in two days, but I needed a residence certificate. (Not recommended if you don’t have experience which I had as smaller motorcycles was without license previously in Norway).
