    What the hell are you smoking?

     

    My lease is in my name, you are mixing me up with another guy in here.

     

    Move somewhere and lose yout security deposit, yeah right.... I can pay that fine a hundred times from that money alone.

    Yes. Must've got you confused with someone else. Whether you stick to the tenet of your lease or not, you always have problems getting your deposit returned. TiT.

    I was told just do another Tm 90 report, obviously not information to trust. I haven't changed address for over 10 years and back then things were easier!

    TM90? 90 day report? Never seen one. When I do my 90 day reports, I just hand my passport over, no forms to fill in, never asked any questions and my passport doesn't have my Thai address in it. Address never mentioned.

    At the main entrance or in the TM30 room?

    Good information, as we were discussing TM30 requirements with a well known agent and when I asked about TM28s, he looked at me like I was nuts. I got the idea Jomtiem were not handling TM28s. 

    It has moved around a bit. I used it 12 months ago, it was in a little room to the side of the main entrance, near where they do the photos. Previously it had been upstairs. Not do TM28s? How can they not? How are you supposed to register a change of address?

    What's the option here? Move somewhere else? That's hilarious ... ill break my lease and risk a litigation case and lose my security deposit and have all the costs and stress of moving somewhere where i don't even know if the next landlord <deleted> will do his <deleted> job.

    You've already stated that the lease isn't in your name so no problem breaking it. If the landlord refuses to transfer the lease to your name and co operate in completing a TM28/TM30, which would solve all your problems, just find somewhere else.

     

    Some landlords appear not to like having anything to do with immigration as the assume that the information may be disseminated to other government departments and they will be prosecuted for tax evasion as many/most don't pay tax on their rental incomes.

    Because you have been given incorrect information. If TM30s were not required in Jomtiem, that separate TM30 office would not be packed to the gills daily with people often queuing up outside the door to get a seat. 

    It is true Jomtiem does not require one for people on long term Extensions who are returning to their own long term residence. They are necessary, for example, for tourists, trying to extend a TV or Visa Exempt stay. 

    Girl who does TM30s also does TM28's which are required for everyone who changes their permanent residence. I've filed 2 TM28s but never a TM30.

    Surely if it is a hospital you have used before you will have a card from them. I only mention it as I have one and it means I certainly don't need to have my passport to go to the hospital, nor have I ever had a pink card. Still wondering why people covet them when I have never seen the requirement. 

    No card but I am on the database. I think that they use the ID to find me on the database. In the UK I would give my name and date of birth and they would find my recoeds. However TiT.

    I wonder how you ever lived in Thailand.  1.  Direct deposit account for SS.  2.  Normal every day account and phone banking (not too much in this acount for safety). 3.  FD account.  4.  Stock trading account.   5.  The one where you keep the big bucks.  That's 5. 

    I have only ever had one account in Thailand. It's all I need. Have several accounts in the UK to do all the other stuff.

    Where did you renew it? Did you use a pink ID card for ID and yellow book for your address?

     

    Have you got your citizen ID number or passport number printed on you DL?

    Didn't have a yellow book or pink card at the time, used my passport. Passport number on DL.

     

    Interestingly, I attended Bangkok Pattaya hospital today as I wanted an x-Ray on my hand.

     

    Receptionist actually asked me, "Do you have your passport or ID card?"

     

    Showed her my pink ID card and I got my X-Ray (clear).

     

    That's the first time I've used it and that's a win for the pink ID card.

    On my old licence top half in Thai, bottom half in English, the same as for my Thai wife.

     

    Theres a new format/layout on my new licence. One central section:

     

    Name in Thai

    name in English

    DOB in Thai

    DOB in English

    Thai/English ID number

     

    Again the same layout as for a Thai National with a 'recently' renewed licence

    Renewed my Thai DL 12 months ago. Top name in English and block capitals. Name below also in English, not block capitals.

     

    Unlike my previous DL, surname first in both instances. When I queried this was told, "New format".

    I obtained one today. I visited my local Amphur first to enquire what was needed etc.

     

    Yellow Tabien Bahn + copy

    passposrt + copy of ID page

    Visa page copy.

     

    Returned with required documents etc and a 10 yr ID card was issued in under 10 minutes.

    Cost= 85 baht. Was told next one would be for life.

     

    Hope this acts as a guide to others but please be sure to check with your local office as what they require, as Provincial Offices can and do vary.

    Same experience but they also took my photo and measured me up for my coffin. Was told that mine was for life as I am over 60.

     

    Wife was changing hers to her new province, so I decided to get one for something to do as I was waiting for her. Never used it, doubt that I ever will as my TDL seems to do everything it might be useful for.
