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.

Just retired with TP Gold visa and now getting all the paperwork sorted out for a long term stay

Got 10 year rental agreement for a house and got issued yellow house book and pink id card at the local city administration (Amphur)

Next step is drivers license, need to take a test and get a medical certificate but think the TP visa plus pink id card and yellow book is ok as documentation basis for application

Just one question if anyone should have same issue, my rental agreement and yellow book does not show same address. Owner of the rental house is not very cooperative so relatives of my late wife (I am now single and intend to stay single) organized it on their blue book. It included interview at the Amphur and some paperwork. I was informed at the city office that the 2 addresses don’t have to match as many Thais are registered one place but have actually moved and live/work in another place

Any comment or advice anyone, I was married for 37 years and the wife took care of everything, now I’m on my own and need all the advice I can get
