I leave mine with a friend who looks after it and has it ready for when I come back. Don't think I could take 6 months back in UK! Im going to give three months a go soon.

Got it. this link does not ask for tm6 number.

@Nigel ********

still asking for tm6 number. Now I can't find the site that didn't ask for it.

@Nigel ********

its rather odd because last time I tried it asked for my tm6 number which I dont have. Could not proceed. Then someone sent me a link to a near identical page that did not ask for tm6 number. The time before I was rejected because I had stayed in a hotel and my address did not tally. I wont need to do another until December as I am going back to UK and will have to do that in person I beleive after updating tm30.

Things appear to be getting tougher. I'm glad I managed to get my 12 month extension at local immigration last time. It actually saves me time driving the 80km to do 90 day report in person rather than struggle for most of the day trying to get on line system to work and failing.

@Paul ******

they issued my extension a couple of weeks before. I dont know the answer to your question but I'm just telling you what they said. I dont work here. My embassy has been of little use to me previously and I haven't worked out yet what purpose it serves.

@Paul ******

wrong. My io will now not issue certificates of residence like they did two years ago. Land transport has to send documents to io and then get the certificate sent back to them in two to three weeks. It's been three weeks tomorrow and I haven't heard a thing. And, when I registered my vehicle I required copies of several documents relevant to the previous owner.

I bought a car and even the dealer I bought it off couldn't workout how I got the blue book in my name. Turned out I needed a certificate if residence from immigration even though I had an up to date tm30 notification. Next time I bought a car the whole process had changed. Same with getting a driving license. Important thing is dont loose your temper however frustrating you find the situation.

@Roger *******

yes I have this year and many problems have been solved plus I saved a load of money.
