Do immigration still offer the "certificate of residence" I have to do my 5 year driving licence and in previous years used a combination of Yellow and Blue book. But in the new world if closer foreigner scrutiny I think they might want a certificate of residence. I'm in Prachinburi.

Saw this post from one of the large agents in Pattaya not visa related but another hot topic driving licence. Currently only applies to Chonburi District

JFYI Post

Visited the immigration office at Blue Tree, Phuket today to get the Certificate of Residence for myself and my wife.

We submitted our TM30 and passport with entry stamp — they didn’t ask for our DTV printout.

We were charged 1,000 baht each and told to collect the certificate the next day. It’s all done quickly and smoothly.

We needed the document for vehicle purchase and Thai driving license.

However, I’ve seen posts here mentioning 300–500 baht fees and a one-week wait.

Just wondering — did we overpay, or is this the new standard now?

Hello and thank you for accepting my request. My husband and I are planning to relocate to Thailand by January 2026. We are in our 50s and retiring. All solid advice would be appreciated. Thank you 🪷

There has been lots of posts over the years regarding to the use of "Pink" Thai IDs cards. Here is my experience after 5 or 6 years of use. In my mind it's second class to your passport or "normal" Thai ID, in so much they are used when a greater level of verification is needed, like banks, AIS, LD (land department). However, I have successfully used the pink ID in Hospitals both private and government, doctors, dentists, which is useful if I need to go without thinking about taking my passport, because I leave it at home.

Has anyone in this group on the DTV been able to renew their 2 year driving licence to a 5 year licence at the Phuket transport office?

I have seen people say they were able to do it at some other transport offices but I haven't seen anyone say it about Phuket yet. I will go to the office and ask but first I thought I would just check if anyone in this group has done it. Thanks Gump 🐒

How I can request a residence certificate in Thailand (commonly used for visa, driving license, or banking purposes), along with the documents required, steps, and how long it takes?

Does anyone know if the Land Transport Office in Chiang Mai still issues 5 year licenses for DTV holders? I am already on my second 2 year driving license.

I read some reports that they do, but I don't want to fly to Chiang Mai for nothing. Trat DLT does not issue 5 year licenses for DTV holders
