  1. When I got my 2 year motorcycle licence and renewed my 5 year car licence they asked for 2 separate letters confirming my address and would not accept a copy. You book your appointment here https://gecc.dlt.go.th it has every office in Thailand in a drop down...once you do I suggest you take a screen shot (Windows key + prtsc key. open paint and paste) then print a copy. Also you will be asked to watch a 1 hour long video and asked a couple of questions like when do you start to signal (30mt) once you pass that again take a screen shot of the certificate that shows up and paste it into Paint....save both a JPG's. and take those with you. It's a piece of cake if you can get there before it opens you'll be in and out in an hour.
  2. 100% they will NOT accept your yellow book..good idea to take it with you to immigration when going to get a letter. Also take a couple of passport pics as they glued mines to the letter and stamped over it
  3. Nothing new in Thailand Memories of an ex-cop who was in charge of purchasing of computers for all police stations in Thailand His wife allegedly opened a computer company and he bought all the computers from her instead of IBM 136 million baht was pocket change to him
  4. Typical mistake frang make. They think all it takes is money. Once lawyers get involved and the media buying your way out becomes near impossible. The egg lady is not some farm hand (no disrespect meant) that will lie down quietly She's obviously a well healed intellegent business woman. In short the Lambo guy is in deep doo-doo and it will cost him plenty.
  5. Just got back today from renewing my motorcycle licence........what a nightmare it could have been if not for pure luck. First stop was to get a medical certificate ..cost 50 baht which was blank and had to fill my own name in and passport number Duh!! My friend went to the same place to renew his licence and they didn't want a medical certificate but anyway they took mines. Next step was go online AT HOME sit the test, took a screen shot of the pass and printed up a copy. Then it was to book an Appointmenent with DLT Sakon Nakhon and I got one for 9am to 11am screenshot and printed that up. Printed up and signed visa and info page of passport signed every copy in blue ink. Now it was just a simple case of getting up at 4.am to be at Thai Immigrartion for 8am. Her indoors parents decided they would come for a day out. Now I had already sent a copy of my lease etc etc and was regisred with Thai immigration for my 90 day report So they had confirmation of where I was staing as they sent us receipts for the TM30 and the TM 47 for my landlady who just happens to be my g/f mother..it's complicated. We get there at 8.am and a Thai immigration policeman pulls up a few minutes later and asks what I want. Nice guy very polite takes my passoprt and by 9.30 am I have a letter confirming my address but not without an unexpected glitch. The guy comes out and asks me for a copy of my land ladies house book. Considering I am registed there already I am left wondering why as I have never been asked for this before in BKK or Phitsanulok. So two things..By pure chance my Landlady has come with me and lo and behold she has her blue book with her or I was goosed. Then he asked me for a photo of myself and by chance I had 4 old ones in my wallet. Again the last time I got a letter was at Phisanulok and there was no photo requirement. Lady just looked me up on compater saw my 90 day reprt was in order and proted a letter up boss signed it done. Anyway we get to Sawan Daeng Din DLT and we have everything. One problem!! there are two DLT offices in Sakon Nakhon and we are at the wrong one we passed the other about 45 minutes beforehand. However this very cute young lady gave me a smile and said don't worry I will put it through here for you. Great go to the counter hand over everything and the guy checks everything is in order. But alas!!!! he says I need a copy of your landladies ID and I am gobsmacked. She doesn't have it with her. Why I don't know but he insists he must have it despite the fact Thai Immigration have given me a letter confirming my address with my photo attached and huge red stamp over it and signed by an officer, However Father has his ID so I take that copy it he signs it and give it to the guy. He barely looks at it and takes it with the rest and tell us to come back in the afternoon for the test. She points out colours and you do that old brake test so very easy. My curent licence runs out in October but my birthday was in September so I get my licence 6 years. Very advabced by the way with holograms to stop faking them I suppose. I don't know if this is nationwide now but fair warning to anyone who rents. get copies of your landladies ID and hpusebook plus take a few passport photos with you to immigration and to DLT or you could end up having to go through the whole thing again. This seems to be a new ruling as there is no mention of this requirement on either BLT ot immigration websites
  6. We got Falangs and Farangs falling out of buidlings or ar they being pushed? BTW it is F̄rạ̀ng neither of the above
  7. After reading that you could go to your local police station to confirm your address I thought I'd chance my arm and call dlt in Sakon Nakhon. Their English was limited but after about 20 minutes a young sounding female confirmed I needed a letter from my Embassy (No chance I'm flying to BKK for that) or a letter from the police in Sakon Nakhon city. After a few questions she of course meant Immigration not the police. So this poor old guy has a round trip of 280km to look forward to unless does anyone know if agents can do this for you by post?
  8. I did my own report and did my landladies TM30 for her which she signed and supplied a copy of her ID. Immigration stamped signed and returned the bottom sections for office use only for both the TM30 and the TM47 I gave my landlady her copy to keep. When I do my next reoprt there is no need for a lease or a TM30 The list above is what you send once your initial registration. That is the only difference it's got nothing to do with which office it's to do with your personal situation. For example if you have just moved and obtained a yellow book you obviously don't need a lease for your first application in the area..
  9. Photocopy of passport pages with following pages front page showing name / surname / Passport No., etc. current visa last entry stamp of immigration last extension of visa Copy of arrival/departure card TM. 6 (front and back) Previous notifications of staying over 90 days (if any) Completely filled in and signed notification form TM. 47 Envelope with 5 Baht stamp affixed and return address of foreigner for the officer in charge to send back the lower part of form TM. 47 after having received the notification. This part must be kept for reference and for future notifications of staying over 90 days. 90 day reports by mail need to be sent by registered mail Mailed report must be received within 15 to 7 days before the report date. From Thai Immigration. Now in your experience show me something that disagrees with that from any Immigration office in Thailand. Please anyone reading this simply call your local office who will confirm that they accept mailed reports. These people who just open their mouths and let their bellies rumble is what gets this forum a bad name.
  10. In certain matters yes, for example how much you are charged for a letter of residence can vary, appointment making is required by some but not in this case they do not. The rules are the rules end of story. The only difference is if you live in a heavily populated area like BKK or Pattaya you make find your new 90 day report takes time to come back. Spoke to my friend today who told me he got worried and called Pattya when his never came back and they told him not to worry he was registered on their system/computers and it will come eventiually. At the end of the day the question is can I apply for a 90 day report by post when moving to a new province.. The answer is YES!!!
  11. No I haven't Main page of PP and arrival card are there
  12. I found it hard to get information or a response on here to this simple quetion so I hope this helps someone. I moved from Pattaya to a village in the north east and was 150km to the local Immigration office. The thought of a 300km round trip on my motorbike did not appeal to me one bit. Someone had said you need to go personally to do your first 90 day report when moving to a new province This is absolute rubbish. I was lucky to get a phone call answered immediately and the immigration officer could not have been more helpful She told me to send the following by post. You can not do your first one in a new province online but your next one you can. A copy of your lease if you don't have a yellow book. If you have a lease date it from the day after you intend to post everything. A completed TM30 signed by your landlady if you have one and a copy of her ID signed. A completed TM47 both the TM30 and TM 47 you can download. A copy of your latest Visa and a copy of your current 90 day report A copy of your arrival card (that's the white slip pinned to your passport) A copy of the main page of your passport. A stamped adress envelope for them to send your new 90 day report to you. . Make sure you sign all copies in blue ink. I sent everything on the Monday morning and had my new 90day report by Thursday afternoon.
  13. Hi all, I am moving from BKK to Sakon Nakhon where I will be renting a house. The Thai Immigration Office is over 150km from there. Can I send the relevant documents, like a copy of my visa aTM30 and copy of my lease etc. and do my new 90day report by mail (I don't mean online) or do I have to go personally?
  14. Does anyone for one minute think that Biden and Co actually care about the working class or students. Everything he does is geared to try and get votes and to hell with the cost. He appoint a black woman who in no way is qualified to be VP but it got him famale votes and black votes the fact she's near on useless..well that doesn't matter. Now he's aiming at getting students to vote for him and fool the people into thinking he's Santa Clause. The truth is the Biden days are a disaster and the entire world is suffering one way or another because the media propoganda, the constant attacks on Trump and the deep state money put an idiot in charge. Trump is no angel but at least things were good when he was in....no wars for akick of because no one would dare cross him Let's not mention fuel.
  15. In plain English can someone answer me this very simple question please. I don't mean to be rude but I don't want oppinions so please if you don't know then don't answer which only serves to confuse. I live outside Bangkok where I do my 90day report but next month I am moving to Sakon Nakhon permantly where I will be renting a house. The house is about 150km from the city where the immigration office is located Can I notify Sakon Nakhon immigration by mail or do I have to go to the immigarion office personally? Thanks in advance
  16. As a Brit on the outside looking in I find it amazing how low the standars of education are in the USA and how easily led their people are. Joe Biden sits in a bunker eating ice cream and wins their elction beating a President who has done more good in 4 years than any other in history. Trump did get silly saying the elction was rigged which it was but not in the way he was sying it happened. The left's constant barage of lies, hoaxes by the media and fake impeachments convinced the dumbest of the dumb Trump was some kind of monster. The power of the left came to the fore and the dumbest ice cream eating clown emerged from his bunker to become POTUS. His forst task was to reverse evey bit of good Trump had done and to hell with the consequences. The result the worst economy in history, first American soldiers in 4 years are killed. Putin says Yipee and invades the Ukraine and Rocket man starts playing with his toys again. The ordinary man on the street can hardly pay his bills or fill his car with fuel and Biden's leadership has hit everone in the pocket from Kansas to katchanaburi. SureTrump tells lies like all politicians to try nad sustain support but he's not a crook like Biden or that criminal son of his. Like Hillary and the deletion of 36,000 emails that had been subpoenaed they are untouchable. Trump on the other hand they can't allow him tobecome President again so they come up with yet another witch hunt. Never mind the fact he had the poer to declassify every piece of paper he had the right to remove from the whitehouse. They are looking for affect in the most underhanded move againt an ex President in history. Guess what American Hard Lefties? Their banana republic behaviour is not going to work this time. Apart from Trump being hit by a bolt of ligtning the Trump De Santis avalanche is heading your way at a million miles per hour.
  17. Thank you for your reply..you're a gentleman.????
  18. Good post but what did you have to produce in Sakon Nakhon. I ask because it seems everywhere is different, My main enquiry is do you need a letter from immigation confirming your adress or is your Yellow book sufficiant?
  19. I must be Naive. First I heard was 61 Passengers tersted positive in Holland on a flight from South Africa now we have dozens of passengers arriving in Thailand being tested positive on arrival. Clearly the countries that they are coming from couldn't care less about causing deaths and sickness.....what steps have other countries taken......Obviously these countries are not using test and go and even if they do it does not stop those vaccinated from carrying the virus. I am all for reopening the country for those who live here but all travel should be banned from any other country when possible.......this Phucket Sandbox test and go gives me nightmares. A passenger can show no symtoms and 4 days later has Covid or the new variant......Covid doesn't get into countries on its own it is brought in by tourists and the like.......but not one country has said close down everything so people have been dropping like flies.....Anyone who thinks things are getting better think again if this new variant gets a grip your vaccination without a booster apparently offers no protection against it and people are already going about like they are bombproof with no regard for those who cant be vaccinated. Sorry if I come a cross as a the end is Nigh character I jus worry for my family and friends like anyone else
  20. ROTFLMAO I live in a village in NE Issan I could be a millionaire in less than a week...a friend who also lives here went to the police station a few years ago and asked where he should go to get his motorcycle licence. The policeman replied.Why do you want a licence no one else has one" it's changed a bit since then but dozens of young underage boy and girls can be seen driving motorbike every day here
  21. Is this a joke,? They should take a leaf out of Trump's book and scrap all these stupid rules and regulations that some ningkumpook thought up for something to do...
  22. Girls are weird they wear short skirts and are always being careful not to show their underwear while us guys are always be hoping for a quick peek. At what I ask? We see the same girls on a beach in a bikini and hardly give most of them a second glance...funny old world
  23. When I decided it was time to move from Chonburi to Sakon Nakhon finish my house and retire I looked up a website to check the COVID 19 figures. I came across a map Chonburi was Dark Red S. Nakhon had no color. The figure given for the Province at the time was 88 cases. Off of I went and on arrival went for a test at the local hospital. Our village 20km away from the town that has a population of 56k and while they were testing me I asked the nurse if they had any cases of Covid and she told me they had 100 beds all full with infected patients plus more in a temp annex nearby. This guy saying rural infections are rising ? I think he means the truth is beginning to filter through. They have just relaxed the restrictions here and people can now drink in small groups but it's high risk for people like me as I am being treated for Tuberculosis and can't be vaccinated so if I catch Covid I am as good as dead....well they say if your name is on the bottle it won't miss you..just wish my name wasn't Leo ????
  24. My GF is currently working in Chonburi while I am working on our house in Sakon Nakhon...her boss has kidly given her some time off to come up for our son's birthday...She gets her 2nd jab on October 1st. Will she need to quarantine for 14 days? Also will she need to quarantine again when she goes back to her Job in Chonburi.,..seems every time I search the net all I get is Phuket sandbox sites
