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.

Can somebody clarify - I have only been here for 70 days and cannot file a 90 day report.

In order to get a Thai drivers license am I required to have a 90 day report?

My research shows that I need

1. Residency certificate.

2. Valid IDP and US drivers license

3. Medical Certificate

4. TM 30

I want to get it done ASAP and I was planning on leaving prior to my 90 day report anyway for a weekend Vietnam trip.

Happy Monday all. Quick question. I have the Non OA with multi entry and I plan to leave Thai for around 2 months in oct. Do I need to get a re-entry stamp and if so how and where do I get it.

hi everybody

i got non-o (90days) " marry visa " and i had been quote by a law firm in bangkok it cost 7500 THAI BATH to open a thai bank account.

issit worth it or should i try on my own ?

thanks eveybody

So here's my situation regarding my Non O Retirement visa: I arrived a few days ago to Bangkok on my 90 day Non O.

I tried going to several banks to open up a bank account, the language barrier was a factor but I dealt with it the best I could. Bangkok Bank and UOB said they don't do this anymore and Krungsri said I need some form from Immigration. Kasikorn said they needed a rental agreement but that my TM30 form for the Airbnb I'm currently staying for a month wasn't good enough and that I need an actual rental agreement.

From what I read here, reddit, etc, I thought I'd be able to open up the bank account first and then find a permanent place once I had that done. So now I need to find a condo and sign a year lease in order to open the bank account and then after the two month waiting period apply for the one year extension. What scares me is that when I sign the lease for whatever reason if I'm unable to open the bank account I'll be in this weird limbo of having signed the lease but not being able to stay and having to do the whole process over again or be forced to do visa runs for a year.

Anyone else in a similar situation or have any advice? Thanks!

EDIT: I'm also considering trying to get a "Residence Certificate" (which is what I think Krungthai was asking for when they said they needed an "Immigration Form") at Chaeng Wattana Immigration (Government Complex, Building B, Floor 2, Section 2) on Monday and if I get this then trying the banks again.

Two questions on getting a Thai driver's license with my IDP.

1st question:

I tried making an appointment with the DLT office online but no luck. So if I walk-in to one of the Bangkok offices (Bangchak or Chatuchak), am I able to get it done the same day (assuming I have all necessary docs), or will I likely get a queue number for a later date/time depending on their availability? I wanted to plan accordingly as some of the documents (residence cert, medical cert) have a 30 days validity.

2nd question:

I have read that you don't need to take the 1 hour video training if you have an IDP unlike a regular driver's license from your home country you are converting from. Is this true?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Two days to go before entering Thailand on my non o visa. DTAC all done. Hua Hin where I own my house. Are Kasikorn bank and scb bank still the first two banks to try first ?

Has anyone had luck recently getting an expedited residency certificate from the chiang mai immigration office? I want to buy a scooter/get a license but would prefer not to pay twice as much through an agent if possible. Also unsure if I need 2 certificates for these two processes or if I can use the same one.

Hello everyone!

My dad, after hiring an agent, he has just returned to Thailand from Vietnam and was stamped with a non-o visa. His plan is to do the retirement extensions every year.

I'd love to hear about other's experiences with getting the residence certificate to sign up for a thai bank account and the process of applying for the retirement extension. Was the process easy? I'm looking for advice from people that didn't use an agent.

Hello, everyone!

There are a lot of reports of people not being able to open a bank account now even on non-o marriage visas.

Anyone had experience opening bank account with non-o marriage visa recently?

I don't understand how we are supposed to do our 1-year extension if they refuse us to open a bank account.
