What proof of residence can I provide for applying for the DTV in Germany while living in Thailand on an ED visa?
Hi everyone,
I’m planning to apply for the DTV in Germany but I’m no longer registered there. I’ve been living in Thailand with an ED visa. What can I provide as proof of residence in this case?

You don’t have a passport?

Why would you apply in Germany if you aren't there? You must physically be in the country whose embassy you are applying to. No need to apply only to the embassy you are a national of. Go to one of the nearby countries from Thailand and apply from there.

I am going to be there that’s why I was askingAmaël ******
A copy of your German passport should be fine.
Proof of nationality is usually good enough if it's your home country.

no it’s not fine, you need to prove your address in Germany, in my case I applied in Canada, I could not have done that if I did not have a Canadian address and proof of that address, a passport loan would not cut itAmaël ******

worked fine for me on several occasionsKlee **************
@Amaël *****
that doesn’t make any sense, cause it clearly states on the DTV visa rules and regulations, that you need to show proof of your addressAmaël ******

for the DTV Visa??Stephan ***********
@Amaël *****
That might be correct in other countries but in Germany you must have residency. If you don't have it you can't apply at any Thai Embassy or Consulate in Germany.Amaël ******
@Stephan **********
doesn't this explicitly list a German passport/ID as one of the acceptable proofs of residency?You seem to prove my point.

@Amaël *****
A passport in Germany is not a proof of residency, because there is no address in it. I know that you can have your complete address in your passport in your country. As a proof of residency we use the ID-Card... or the Passport together with a "certificate of residency". Since he doesn't have a valid residency in Germany he can't apply for this certificate.Stephan ***********
No chance, if you are German. You must have a residence in Germany if you want to apply in Germany. Why don't you apply here somewhere? Laos or Jakarta for example.
