If you had disclosed your province then just maybe you would have received advice ya or nah that a yellow book would be acceptable in future for things such as license renewal, purchase vehicles etc .

Indeed OP, you have a COR and that's will do the job, albeit 800b .

Yes the same chit chat that has been posted ad nauseam in Motor Forum

Here is link for form that CW uses for COR application. https://aseannow.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=439173

And I tried to assist a guy at Chatuchak for TDL. His yellow book wouldn't cut it. Told to obtain a COR from CW. All this is discussed over and over in Motor Forum

It's depends on your immigration office (that you did not mention) Many threads with various requirements. eg post above yours from @flexomike In any event the OP did not indicate he even has a yellow book and did not even ask for alternatives to COR.

You should always state which immigration office you deal with. Here is attached thread with good information and first reply gives detailed list. https://aseannow.com/topic/1321003-documents-required-for-retirement-extension-in-cm/

Yet another "in my province" Same as the OP and many other posters so secretive about naming their province.

Where and when did you last renew a TDL with yellow house book..

I have seen 800b posted in the many threads on this trivial topic. That is the highest I have ever read. 500b often mentioned usually provided certificate on the spot. 200b at CW and takes approx 5 days. You refer to yellow house book. Also some have mentioned Pink ID card. These enabled renewal of eg TDL, particularly years back at some offices. In some land/transport offices a certificate of residence is required and yellow house book won't cut it

Incorrect.

Some off topic posts removed

Continuous ongoing extensions (retirement) and each extension of course additional reentry permit. Same address for 12 yr.

800 for not filing the TM30. 2000 for late TM47

Locked at OP request

You google "TM8 download" You can do download on any phone. Always print any double sided for as back to back one page. This attached thread has link to form and posts listing other required docs eg photo. https://aseannow.com/topic/1318449-documents-needed-for-getting-re-entry-permit-at-cw/

Where

Suggest you read up on the many recent threads re requirements for renewing TDL.

You will not renew a TDL with docs you mention these days. Certainly was possible way back. They require a COR Similar chat to opening bank accounts.

Irrelevant apart from fact that gives heads up to anyone dealing with your office. 800 is max I have ever read of. 500 for on the spot at some offices. You asked did you do the wrong thing. Prob not however I would pay the 800b as I tend to adhere to "when in Rome"

I like the way you put that. My thai partner an myself big fan of national parks. Yes the old duel pricing. She Thai 40 baht me farang 200b. Doesn't bother me one bit.

You require COR for example obtaining new TDL. I recently renewed my TDL and have not changed address however needed to obtain new cor.

Without naming the immigration office it's useless to discuss. My immigration office is CW. Certificate of residence is 200b and delivered by mail. Takes about 5 working days. There is no option to pay extra and obtain COR on the spot. In regards to embassies providing equivalent UK,USA,AU do not. (no I'm not referring to income letter)

That's a pity. As posted earlier this all seems to syncing TM30 report address with online 90 day reporting. Personally have no plan to do TM30.
