I'm in need of a resident form for an automobile sale. My current landlord never went to immigration to file any documentation of my residency with them. I have a current rental contract that is 8 months old. Will there be any issue for me to get the resident certificate? Maybe best to make a new contract? The owner has provided me with their personal information and proof of ownership of the home. Also, what is the penalty to either me or the homeowner? I'm located in chonburi and probably going to Jomtien office. Thank you
TLDR : Answer Summary
In Thailand, to obtain a resident certificate, you need to register your residency with the immigration office, which your landlord must sign. If your landlord fails to do this, you can still apply for late registration; however, it costs around 800 Baht and ideally, your landlord will reimburse you. You must prepare several documents including a lease, your landlord's ID, and proof of ownership of the property. It's also noted that your landlord can handle registration online, which might simplify your process. Ensure you keep records of your 90-day report, as it's often required. The conversation also discusses the importance of the TM 30 form, associated penalties, and potential reimbursement options.
