Can I purchase a new car with DTV visa, if so what documents will I require and where do I get them.

I tried to search but only takes me to Meta/AI search, not within the group page.

Certificate of Residence for a Thai driving license.

My understanding is that you need a Certificate of Residence as part of the documents you submit to get a Thai driving license.

I believe you obtain such a certificate from the Thai immigration. As I live in BKK, I assume I’ll have to deal with the Chang Wattana office.

- First question : Do I need to go there in person with all the required documents ( which I would like to avoid…) or can I send them all the required documents?

I saw some information on internet, regarding the documents you need to apply for this certificate. I’ve pasted the list below.

- Second question: Do I really need all the documents listed below ???

1. Residence Certificate Application Form in Thailand ( This is the TM18 form, isn’t it?)

2. Original passport (as well as a copy of the biodata page, current visa, most recent entry stamp, and TM.6 Card)

3. Receipt of 90-day Report Notification

4. A copy of your Address Notification Receipt (TM.30).

5. A copy of your house lease agreement and rental contract where you stay including:

– A copy of ID/Passport (if a foreigner) of the landlord

– A copy of the house registration book of the landlord

– A copy of the title deed to confirm who is the owner required if the landlord is not a household

6. One passport-size photo (white background taken within 6 months)

- Third question regarding the above item 5: I got the lease agreement, of course, but I don’t have the house registration book of the landlord, nor do I have a copy of the title deed. Do I need these two ?

Thanking you in advance

I was just turned away from immigration for a certificate of residence because my o retirement visa will not be in place till April 15 .

I have a current lease for 6 months and all I need to do is purchase a car and get a license...

Tomorrow I will go to DLT to renew my driving license to get 5-years license.

As I have a work permit, this should be sufficient for the proof of residence.

They require a copy of the work permit page with address. However, my residence address is not showing on my work permit. I wonder if this will give me any issues tomorrow?

First of all I want to thank you all for your support!

I applied on the 8th of January in the morning in Taipei (remote work) with all documents.

As information my money is split to 2 different banks!

After few hours they asked for contract, bank statement including salary proof of the last few months (I provided everything with the first turn) and company paper (which I order by the company) and certificate of residence (or similar) and submitted everything again on the 10th, Friday evening, and got an appointment on Tuesday the 14th for next day.

They asked to explain what I want to do in Thailand, about my company I work for, my salary and explanation why my money is splitted and my monthly salary.

After 10min the interview was done, got my passport and told I will get approved within the next 2-3 days!

Got the email with approval 5 hours after the interview!

Thanks again!

Successfully got a certificate of residence for driving license. Immig Div 1, Bangkok.

Saw a number of posts about this and sharing the list of requirements. In my case previous 90-day report was not available since I leave every month. So needed to also photocopy evidences from the passport that I never spent more than 90 days in Thailand - so departure and arrival stamps throughout the period.

The TM30 also needs to ideally match your LATEST arrival date. Since I did not know this I had to request from the landlady on the spot and it can only be dated within 24 hours. This was accepted.

Hi all, just a heads up for people who may have been thinking like me. Ive just been to immigration to get a certificate of residence so I can buy a car or motorbike and get a thai driving licence, they told me you cannot obtain one on a dtv visa only a non-immigrant visa.

Seems a bit bizarre to me as the dtv virtually allows a stay of 5 years(just leaving the country annually ).

I have a DTV and my TM30, and I need to get a certificate of residence. Has anyone gone through this process before?

I need to apply for a certificate of residence at CW and I’m also planning on submitting my 90 day report on the same day. Am I correct in thinking that both of these tasks can be completed at the same section/counter at CW? What are the current docs that need to be submitted for a certificate of residence? Thanks.

Can you open a bank account and buy a car on the DTV? Thanks
