To be honest I just let my wife get on with it since she's Thai and speaks the language etc, she just told me the purpose on the document is to obtain a driving licence. Got my test on Thursday. Maybe we can go back and ask him to add 'and open a bank account'
we just looked it doesn't say, i think it's the latter, the owner of the house has registered me as living here, as a result I now have to report myself as being in the province within 24 hours of arrival in it else the owner gets a fine, which I'm not too pleased about, seems it's a backwards step.
