Hello everything is on the title. A few days ago Thailand announced new requirements in order to apply for the Destination Thailand Visa, asking for proof of permanent residency.

I'm supposed to send my application in a few days at the Thai Embassy in Paris. On their website they say tax return filling in parenthesis is an accepted document. However i still haven't received this document yet and i have no idea when i'm gonna receive it.

So my question is : Do you have any information about potential other documents accepted as a proof of permanent residence at the Thai embassy in Paris please ?

Maybe some of you who read that topic already contacted the Paris Embassy or immigration lawyers and got some information about that topic. So if you got some information, can you share it to me please ? so it can be clear ! I've contacted the embassy as well but i have no idea when they answer so i hope for answers here please !

Thanks very much and have a nice day !

Passport for nationality/citizenship

Utility bills (electricity, water) for proof where you are currently living

Vehicle license and registration for the same reason

Permanent Residency is a specific government designation.

Seek clarification from the Thai Embassy as to what documentation they will accept

Include a cover letter explaining your circumstances

Are you a French Citizen? If so, a French passport will pretty quickly show that you have already surpassed that requirement.

UnforgettableRambutan8343 i wonder if it will work alone. On their website they already ask for a copy of the passport page but the proof of permanent residency is another new added point, added to the passport proof.

Anonymous participant Permanent residency is a specific immigration status where you’re generally able the freely live and work in a country without specific visa related restrictions. If you are a French citizen then you already have all the benefits of permanent residency in addition to others such as the right to vote.

Generally a passport is viewed as proof of citizenship (but not always) so showing that you have a French passport should satisfy any concerns regarding permanent residency with the Thai Embassy in Paris.
