Passport photo page copy, copy of page with last entry stamp, tenancy agreement, TM30. Oh, and some cash! I got one only yesterday for exactly the same reason. Take original passport and work permit with you as well. CoR needs to be dated less than 30 days ago when you submit for new DL

I may be wrong, but I think there is a rule that prevents you serving with the Thai military if you have served with the military of another country. Basically removing any call-up/reserve liability from the point you sign up and take your Oath of Allegiance with the British Army. You may be able to show that legislation to the recruiters (if it exists). Worth exploring

Ok. But it’s worth checking options. You may have to pay Duty if it’s in her name. If it’s in yours, and it’s your first time moving to live in TH, your shipment may be Duty-exempt. Your wife may not be aware of that benefit, as she’s never moved to Thailand as a foreigner 😊

@Rick ********
see my earlier comment mate. It could actually turn out to be better if the import shipment was in your name only. Check it out

I’m not sure under what visa conditions you’re coming, or whether rules have changed, but it was the case if you were moving to Thailand to work then there was no import duty payable for your own possessions. That was a one-time deal for your first shipment. It was definitely the case if you were entering for work permit with initial visa sponsored by your employer. Not sure if that applied/applies for retirement etc

You should be fine mate. I assume if you’ve booked a hotel for the 2 weeks you won’t be travelling on internal flights to other places, just rocking around wherever you’re going. Have a good holiday mate

for tourists and WP/re-entry holders would be simple. Different if you live here but don’t have permanent re-entry. Don’t know why people don’t have re-entry when they live here.

@Tony ********
no. I use it. Much faster and very convenient. Hopefully they will extend the process to inbound passengers too, as with many countries now

I would take a copy of the last entry stamp in your passport. Assuming that was dated <90 days ago, should be a sufficient replacement for the 90 day report and justification for why you don’t have one. Take all other docs too….. ‘belt and braces’ 😉….. as another person said, I’ve never heard of a Driving Licence being only valid in another province either
