Hey guys, I'm from Germany and currently living in Bangkok for 5 months on visa exemptions.
I would like to get a Thai driver's license but they require a residence certificate from Bangkok immigration, and will only issue me one if I do 90 day reporting which I'm not able to do.
I read that another option would be going to my embassy, but they won't give me one without a long term visa or/and work permit.
What other options do I have? Would going to Jomtien immigration work and can I use my address in Bangkok? Or would I have to rent a new condo in Pattaya?
I live with my Thai girlfriend in her house, all the bills are in her name and she has a tabien baan, if that helps with anything. Maybe she could just go with me to immigration or straight to the department of transport for the driving license and guarantee I live with her?
