Something that should have been so simple of turning into a nightmare, spent all afternoon at Jomtien Immigration trying to get residency certificate

Got there and paperwork wrong as I had left Thailand for a few days during Songkran so TM30 date didn't match

Contacted the managing agent of condo who did a new one and went back, they said this isn't ok as it's just an online one, condo agent says it is correct, anyone know?

Example below of what condo agent sent (just a web sample)

Applying for residents certificate

Nearly 2 weeks waiting for non O-visa approval in Sydney based on retirement (not marriage).

On arrival to Phuket I’ll try opening a bank account. To open the account, I have a dtac Thai mobile number and I live with my wifes family in their home.

Do I need to get something from dtac proving it’s my mobile number?

…and what would I need to get from my wifes family as evidence I’m living there. Would I ned a certificate of residence from immigration?

Thanks.

Hi, I am in Thailand on a non O visa and have to open a bank account to make my 800 000 baht deposit - which requires having a six month lease for accommodation. I am finding it quite difficult to find something suitable in Udon Thani as most condos specify a one year lease. Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated.

I have been following this group for many months as I have been in the process of moving here to retire. I am very grateful for the wise and sage advice of some of the members who take the trouble to provide concise and factual responses. Our journey so far:

* Non O Visa obtained in home country 2400 baht

* Arrived Thailand obtained TM30 and Certificate of Residency for wife to open bank account with KS Bank

* Waited 63 days for money to season and went to our banks to obtain required financials.

* Straight to Jomtien Immigration to join pre afternoon queue. In soon after 1pm and out by 1.25pm with both 12 month retirement extensions granted - 1900 baht. Collect passports and arrange re-entry stamp after 2 days.

The officer spoke excellent English and was professional and efficient. The only requirement over and above the official list of requirements was a hand drawn map of our location. We had already prepared this.

It is not difficult to do this process on your own if you prepare your documents well and listen to the guidance given in this group. Many thanks to all that provide their valuable assistance.

Can I change my drivers license in to Thai driver’s license under DTV visa? I have a drivers license from two ASEAN countries. IF yes, do I need International drivers license? Both drivers license are in English.

We'll be coming over in a few months on Type-O visas. I keep seeing people say you come over, you get a residency certificate from immigration, and you open a bank account. Don't you need a 12-month lease in there between arriving and getting that residency certificate? Can you actually get it with just a hotel address?

Hello everyone, Please i need advice on which bank allow NON O (90 days) Visa to open account in Bangkok or nearby province.

Seeing some mixed messages about getting a Thai drivers license for a scooter.

Is it possible on a tourist visa or visa exemption?

Is a certificate of residence required or will a utility bill suffice? Is the utility bill used to obtain a cert of residence?

I see that a Thai license isn't required until after 90 days, but I don't have a IDP or home country motorcycle license.

Is it possible to get an IDP without going back to my home country (US)? I'd travel to any nearby country for this, if that makes sense.
