I took my TM30 to get my Thai driver's license and they said it was the wrong form to use. Said I had to go back to immigration and get the right form from them. Sorry can't remember the form name. This is after dealing with them for 5 days, doing everything they asked. I got fed up and gave up. I would rather pay the fines then deal with them again.
I tried this the last time I was in Thailand. Couldn't get a bank account. Went to Immigration office and she told me to go back home and do it on line. Which I have done. It was still difficult to get a bank account, multiply days trying, but I got it done. Someone on here told me to pay for the insurance they offer and the process goes much quicker.
