Hi everyone! 👋

Has anyone applied for a thai tax ID or driving licence while on a DTV visa?

I already have a European driving licence, but not sure if DTV status is accepted for these..

If you’ve done it recently, could you please share which documents asked for especially in Phuket? 🙏

I’ve heard some people couldn’t get the Certificate of Residence with DTV, so just wondering what worked for you to get tax ID and/or licences

Quick question - can I use my International Driving Permit (IDP) to apply for a Thai driver’s license and TM30, or do I need to wait until after my first 90-day report?

Just back from Samut Prakan Immigration Office for TM30.

What an ordeal, an ordinary Thai person (not working in hospitality/hotels/inns) would hardly know how to fill it in. Even if they can figure out, there are copies needed of everything. My Thai wife would not know what is needed. If I were not with her, she could not do it (never done before).

Good that I made copies before going to Thai.

A question: The clerk asked me if I needed anything more. I forgot (still tired from the bumpy flight) about Certificate of Residence. I have to go again to Imm office?

Tomorrow I will by a printer/scnanner and scan the TM30 document so those staying at their wife/girl friend place can use it, at least to know what the form is asking. I got one blank form to scan, will be printable or at least for viewing. Tomorrow.

For existing DTV holders. Question Re Driver’s licenses and DTV 180-day border bounces.

Sure many of you have already seen this onerous form for DTV extensions. Received this one today in Phuket Town but must be started at least two weeks in advance, and so I must exit and re-enter the kingdom due to insufficient time to extend. This isn’t a surprise to me, but it is a great letdown. When I asked immigration staff if the driver’s license could be applied for immediately upon return from the border bounce, the English-speaking volunteer at building 101 in Phuket Town said this shouldn’t cause a delay in applying for a driver’s license.

But I’d rather be sure. Those who bounced already on a DTV after your first 180 days, were you able to receive a drivers license without waiting another 90 days following your exit/re-entry?

Is my yellow housebook a proper substitute for a certificate of residence for opening an account with K bank or do I need to get the CofR from immigration beforehand?

I’ve decided to get a Thai drivers license. My wife and I live in Phichit. I have US drivers license with motorcycle stamp, I have my IDP from AAA that is current. My question is I have a yellow book and pink thai ID card.  Will that suffice as a certificate of residency?

Hello people!

What is the process of getting Thai Driving license (for DTV)? I already have driving license in my country and international driving permit (Car + Motorcycle). I want only motorcycle permit for Thailand.

Is any Letter of Residence needed from immigration? If it is, then what is the process?

And is it possible to get the Letter of Residence without any rent contract for accommodation, for example, If I am staying in hostels (not monthly contract), will this be fine?

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.

In view of on-going Bangkok Bank problems, I am thinking of opening another account elsewhere. Despite having lived at the same address for over a decade, nothing is in my name. So, how do I prove my address? Is a Thai driving licence sufficient? Seem to recall something about a yellow book. Is that an answer? Something from Immigration, despite them never having visited?

Hello everybody! Can anybody tell me if I need get two copies of Certificate of Residence from the immigration to get Thai Drivers License for both motorbike and car? Or I have to get only one Certificate of Residence and then can just photocopy it?

I'm aware that I need to prepare two sets of every documents if I'm applying for both motorbike and car driving licenses. But the Certificate of Residency part is confusing to me. Do I need to get two original Certificate of Residence from immigration?

Also, what are the documents required to get the Certificate of Residence? I have my TM30, Passport copies and rent agreement. Do I need anything else? Is there any fees involved?

Just for reference, I'll be applying at Jomtien Immigration, Pattaya.

Any info will be helpful. Thank you.
