What is the best proof of location document to use for the Sydney embassy?

Applying for my DTV from my home country (Australia) since I'm here visiting family until the end of January.

Thing is I'm no longer a resident here (I work in Hong Kong). I'm going to use my valid Australian driver's license. Will this be enough?

Because when I'm here in Sydney I live with my parents and don't have utility bills under my name. Ones under my name are bills in HK.

Follow up on my earlier post regarding applying for a driver's license. When I attended Min Buri DLT to make the appointment to convert my Australian license to a Thai license, I was advised by the staff that using the yellow house book and pink ID card would result in a driver's license that could only be used in Bangkok.

Australian embassy doesn't issue confirmation of address, and I don't qualify for the confirmation of address from Chaeng Wathana as I'm not in Thailand long enough to submit a 90 day report.

I used the yellow house book and pink ID card as evidence of address, was issued with a driving license, and there was no further mention of restriction to any particular province ... I can only assume that the original staff member gave me incorrect information.

Hi all,

My query relates to Drivers licenses. I have a Full Australian drivers license, if my license was cancelled or suspended can I apply for a Thai driver’s license by taking driving lessons and a driving test to the satisfaction of the examiner in Thailand and then be issued a new Thai drivers license ?

Thank you in advance for any advice
