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😊

Looking for tourist e-visa advice for US citizens.

After getting to the final document-dump page of the e-visa application, I had questions about several of them. The main questions concern how to do these for our minor children (11 and 13 years old).

#3: Declaration: Do I sign the declaration for them? They can't legally sign something like this in the US.

#5: Proof of accommodation/invitation letter: We are renting a house that is owned by an expat living in Thailand. She has never had to write an invitation letter before. What needs to go in that letter?

#6: Financial evidence: again, what to upload for my children's application? My financial documents, or a letter I wrote saying they are my children?

#7: Confirmation of residence if not applying in country of residence: I don't know why this is an obligatory upload. I'm a US citizen applying to the Chicago consulate, so this question doesn't apply to me but I have to upload something.

#8: Travel records: Do they want pictures of every stamp page in my passport, or just the ones with stamps in them?

#9: Document confirming residency for application to consulate: again, what to upload for kids?

Thanks for any help! I used the search function and didn't find answers for the e-visa system, so my apologies if these have been answered before!

Another (quick) TM30 query... So, I'm about to mail in my first ever TM30 in 14 years to Chaengwattana. Application in my Landlady's name, signed by her and with all the signed documents. I and my family are individually listed on the back, together with copies of my passport ID page, TM6, Extension stamp and the same for my wife and 4 year-old. My query is that there seems to only be one tear-off return receipt. In case of one of the infamous condo raids, shouldn't we each get a receipt to keep in our passports?

I am US citizen, with non-immigrant OA retirement Visa. I am on my second year and it expires October 15 2019. I am returning to the US today (I do have a re-entry permit dated for Oct 15 2019). When I return to Thailand in 6 weeks will they want to see a return flight out of Thailand? (I will be marrying in June and will have my required 400k baht in the bank well before the 3 months.) i will be staying long term after my return. Is my OA retirement Visa ok for not having a return flight? Should I bring my Yellow Book as proof of residency?

Thank you
