Hi, i ve been in Thailand for 1.5years now with dtv but never stayed 3months in a row, always went somewhere before so never done the 90days report and never asked a tm30 from previous landlord. Now I m thinking of doing it for the first time and I have some questions.

I don’t know if my previous landlord reported my residency at that time, not sure for the current one neither but I am going to ask the current one to give me the tm30. If neither or one of them didn’t report what do I risk?

My dtv is with muay thai lessons but it’s been a while i didn’t do any, should i register in muay thai courses before going to immigration ?

Do i also need to have the amount of money requested when we apply to dtv?

Any other things to be aware of?

Thanks

I'm a UK citizen. Can anyone advise on how to get the Yellow Book? Do I need to go the Bangkok UK embassy to get my passport certified first? Then get it translated? Is there a certified translator in Hua Hin? I live in Hua Hin so avoiding a trip to Bangkok would make this easier.

I need to get a certificate of residency at immigration (Bangkok). Renew DL. My situation is a bit unique. I never do the 90 days report because I always exit the country before 90 days. What documents does immigration require for the certificate of residency? I searched the group posts and saw conflicting information about the requirement of previous 90day report done.

I know certificate of residency has been discussed here before. However, I would like to start a thread of people's recent reports of acquiring one. I tried in Jan 2025 at Nakhon Pathom Immigration and was told no certificates for DTV holders.

For people who received one recently, please share which office you applied, what documents were needed, and a summery of the overall process.

Thanks in advance.

Certificate of residence with a dtv visa

Bangkok office

Before you go make sure you have the following:

Passport

Copy of passport x2

Copy of entry stamp x2

90 day not required if you’ve not had to do one

E visa printout x2

Copy of lease/ rent agreement

Printout of TM30

฿200 per certificate

All in all a fairly painless process. I originally went down and asked at the information desk as I was needing 4 certificates. (2 for licenses, 1 for transferring a vehicle, and one because the bank asked for it (not a basic savings account)).

Once you’ve got all the relevant documents together and got down to immigration at the government complex it’s a fairly swift process. They’ll check all your documents and give you a receipt and your passport back. It only took about an hour most of that was waiting till my number was called. They’ll said it would be posted to that address and it arrived in 4 days.

Hi Guys. My wife (homeowner where we live) is trying to fill in the TM30 today for me online, but I’ve already been in the country for a month. Is that possible?

I went to my local immigration for the list of requirements for my first marriage visa extension next week. They confirmed i need a TM30 and said to try online or I’ll have to come in and do it there and bring a neighbour as a witness, to prove where I reside.

But, you can’t back date my arrival date online (and the immigration officer didn’t mention this.) So I’d have to say online that I arrived today, which doesn’t tie up with my arrival stamp, of course.

I don’t want to do anything incorrectly, so I’ve paused this for now. Anyone have any experience with this?

Many thanks 🙏🏽

Guys, it has been asked before, but I would like to get advice once again. the owner of the place where I am staying is not living in Thailand so I cannot get tm-30. Is there a possibility done 90 day report without tm-30? or what would be the consequences if I skip the report. Thanks everyone.

Dear All,

I have a question regarding the upload documents for applying the 60-day tourist visa. I will apply this in my home country-Hong Kong. For below 2 upload request, is it both need to upload my Hong Kong Identity Card please? As I am not sure for Item 7. Thank you so much.

7 . Confirmation of legal residence in a country in which you are applying for the visa. (In case that you are not a national of the country in which you are applying for the visa.)

9 . Applicant must apply for e-Visa via specific Embassy/Consulate conforming with his/her consular jurisdiction and residency. Applicant is required to upload document that can verify his/her current residency.

Hi

I want to make Thai drivers license for scooter.

I talked to some agencies already.

I saw here some posts you can go to an agency and they will help you get all the paper work bring you to pass the exam etc.

Well I cannot find any agency offering this service.

Can anybody recomend a agency in Pattaya offers the service.

I am pretty helpless and Google does not help me either.

And I don't want to do it myself I don't have problems paying an agency as I am helpless and don't have the energy to do it on my own.

TIA😊
