Check this topic.

And yeah you need to be working with a workpermit and tax returns for 3 years.

 
Yes that used to be an issue but I believe the software bug (or whatever it was) is fixed now.
 
It is no longer only PR's that the card is issued to so your office is probably more familiar with the process now.
 
Since all your data must be entered already it should be just a 10 minute job for them to print the card. (Famous last words, I know......)

Well went to local office and they issued me the ID card. No problems.

Not sure you will get many replies to your question since there probably are not many people with PR in Sisaket.
You should be able to get a pink ID card at the Amphoe where you are registered in a house book without a  problem.
 

I went to my local Amphoe office last year convinced them to do it but their computer system could just not do it. They called BKK got remote support and still could not get it to print a ID card.

Just would like to know if any progress has been made ?

If anybody has managed to get it done in Sisaket please let me know in a pm.

As this is the thread pink ID cards for people with PR.
A Thai driving licence of somebody with a PR should show his Thai ID number 8.... Mine do.

If thats the case showing a Thai licence with a number that starts with an 8... would show up in the system as being a PR.

And a PR does not have to do TM30 does he if he does not leave his registered address for more then 15 days.

Or so it says in the back of the red ID book.

So maybe thats why no TM 30 report was made.

There is no card (or anything else) issued. Immigration registers your passport in the Autochannel system then takes a photo and fingerprint scan.

 

There is a thread in this forum detailing the process. You can search for it.

They put a small 3D barcode sticker in the passport. (On last page in my case).

Nothing else is issued.

that s correct, been with her for 7 years. so If I stay with her for another 3 years, it s 10 years. so 40'000 bahts per year of commitment. around 1000 dollars a year.
I never gave her anything, except I pay more our rent but in return she cleans clothes, cook... and take care of everything like a private secretary of state. (No, she doesn't lie :) )

Check her emails ! [emoji5]

Tell the thief you'll give a brand new phone in exchange for yours, if she agrees,  then you can buy a cheap Samsung galaxy 7.  

You mean a nice exploding Note 7 ?

Donald would be proud - is about all I can say.  rr
Obviously this is a locker room.  
 

I see no link to Donald's disrespect to females and this thread ?
Most remarks are about his legal position.
It's just a bad idea to buy a house on your gf's name in any country unless you can afford to lose the money.

Simply answer is do not do it.
Buy a condo in your name.
Invite her to move in with you.
When/ If things go wrong and the relationship ends she has to leave the condo and its all yours. Build a house on her family land and regardless of legal protection you will not want to stay there anyway.

Lets say you are in same situation in your home country.
You have to pay to build a house on your local gf's land. Would you put the house on her name ?

Only do it if you can afford to walk away from the money.

Well sorry to hear about this.
I usually have companies send me stuff put my wifes Thai name on it. Never had a problem like yours.

Federbrau ,brewed in Thailand to the German purity laws .I love it but its expensive at B75 a large bottle at 7/11 .Thais pronounce it FederBOY .

Thanks. Good to know this.

At moment I drink Chang beer.

OP, if you are still married to a Thai you can apply for citizenship and skip PR completely.

The cost is much, much less, and far better benefits over PR.

For PR or citizenship, one or the other, you have to continue with employment throughout the process, until approved.

" Not ever having to worry about getting extensions every year or 90 day reports and etc would be well worth it the older you get."

For many of us, besides extensions and 90 day reporting, there is no 'etc'.

100k-200k seems a bit much just to avoid that.

For citizenship application you also need 3 years tax returns and a wp during the process. Right up to the end.

Starting this application at the OP's age it is too late to have any chance.

They start reducting points over age 50.

Went to my local office in Sisaket, after convincing the staff and a phone call to head office they asked me to wait till all Thais in the Queue had their new ID card before they tried to print mine. Good thinking they tried mine last as computer system had all sorts of problems and they could not get it done even with remote support from HQ.

Not a big deal as they will give me a call when they have it fixed.

One question they asked me during filling out my information was what is my bloodtype.

Next time I'll have that information with me.

Thanks for your reply.

I did contact the Dutch driving license authorities.

Their answer was that a Thai driving license is valid for a period of 6 months then it must be exchanged for a Dutch license.No info on International licenses

FYI The Dutch do not have an agreement with Thailand so you can not just exchange your Thai licenses for a Dutch one. You need to take the Dutch exams to get it.

Belgium does have an agreement and there you can exchange your Thai license for a Belgium one , catch is you have to be a resident of Belgium.

They should have a record of my police report I made 8 years ago. I gave it to the Embassy in order to get a new passeport.

Cute, you actually think they will keep paperwork for 8 years, most places send records to archives or destroy them after 7 years and the archives could be anywhere. It seems wrong that 1 year overstays get fined the same as 8 years.

I believe 1 year overstay gets the person a 3 year ban.

A 8 year overstay means a 10 year ban

Edit : Yes indeed you are right.

Fine is the same amount.

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?/topic/885811-New-Overstay-Rules-Announced-By-Immigration

Hello,

I am new here, been in Thailand now 6 months and looking for information for Proof of Residency, seen this post so thought I would ask here in the thread.

Will go to Nakhon Si Thammarat Immigration next week to apply for my 1 year Non-Immigration Type-O Retirement visa.

Do I need to ask for these items that are being discussed in this thread, Blue Book, Certificate of Residency, Alien Certificate (Red) ?

The other reason for asking is I also need proof of residency here in Thailand in order to Trade with my broker.

Currently working on getting Electric Bill (Broker requires utility bill) in my name with the address, asking for the name & address in english.

I will also ask about the International Driving License as well, this will be good ID proof for living here?

Any help and advice, greatly appreciated.

Permanent Residence is permit to stay in Thailand.

You should read this thread :

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?/topic/74654-Camerata's-Guide-To-The-Permanent-Residence-Process

The quick answer is you can not apply for this.

Permanent Residency and Proof of Residency are often mixed up but are not the same thing.

Permanent Residency is a permanent permision to stay in Thailand. ( takes years to get).

Proof of Residency is just a document that shows you are living here, its not a permit or a visa.

So getting the Blue Book, Certificate of Residency, Alien Certificate (Red)

is not going to happen and for a one year non immigration visa/extension not needed.

To make things more confusing ppl also call 2 different documents "blue books" but both the certificate of residency that is what you get once

Permanent Residency is given.

And a house registration book that every house in Thailand has and people (Thai) have to be registered on is also blue. ( foreigners go on a yellow book. Except for those with a PR).

Thai driving license is a good ID but for most things like opening a bank account you will need a passport.

And one last remark any work here requires a workpermit even if many ppl do work online without this its not legal.

I see ubonjoe answered while I was typing but I will leave my post as is.

At the PR section at Chaengwattana Immigration. The replacement books are white. Only the original is blue.

BTW at Suvarnabhumi you can now register to be able to use the Autochannel gates so that in future (at least at BKK and DMK airports) you won't get any Thai entry/exit stamps in either your Residence Certificate or Passport.

But as a PR you have to have a re-entry permit and I would think you will need the entry/exit stamps in you passport and residence book.

Or lose the PR.

So how would that work with the Autochannel gates?

Because if you leave Thailand for more than a year the PR is automaticly canceled.

As OP asks how to apply for a Thai passport it would seem he/she does not have one so that answers the question how he/she entered Thailand. A foreign passport. Would that mean get a Thai passport. Leave Thailand by air and return on the Thai passport ? So indeed good question how did OP enter Thailand ?

Recheck that yourself with the Department of Labour. Holding a permanent residency in a country - as per WTO agreement which has been signed by Thailand (and even co-headed 10+ years ago by Dr. Supachai) - you have a legal right to obtain automatically a work permit.

Granting a permanent residency automatically implies that the country has to ensure that you can make a living; i.e. by working.

So forget all that rubbish written all over the internet, get it from the horse's mouth and I suggest you get it from Bangkok as they make the rules and regulations.

Well I have had a PR for about 10 years now and I did need to get a Thai WP every year for any job I did in Thailand.

International agreements signed or not. They make up their own rules in Thailand and do whatever they want.

And as far as I know even with a PR, I have to get a WP.

I agree with you however that its not the way it should be.

Any links or proof that its not needed from a government Thai website ?

I have never seen anybody with a Thai PR saying on Thaivisa he did not need a WP to work in Thailand.

Scorecard, any link to that information ?

To leave Thailand and return without losing permanent resident status, a PR holder requires 1) an endorsement in their Certificate of Residence (valid for 12 months, costs THB 1,900) and 2) a Non-Quota Immigrant Visa in their passport (valid for 12 months, costs THB 1,900 for single-entry, THB 3,800 for multiple entry).

Cost of maintaining PR is THB 5,700 per year. ( no cost if you do not go abroad ).

I have always done it at CW as that used to be my local office.

However its easier for me to keep going to CW even if I now registered on an upcountry tabien ban.

However a friend who also has PR was told at CW he could also do it at his local office in Nakorn Pathom he will try that next time.

Best thing is to ask in this thread if you want a quick answer:

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?/topic/74654-Camerata's-Guide-To-The-Permanent-Residence-Process

A one year licence has to run the full year before renewal, but the 5 year licence has to be renewed before the expiry date which will be your birthday. If you go late you will get a bollocking as they will have to make it for 6 years instead of 5, One of TV's admin has a six year licence as I do. we were both suitabled chastised!!

Are you sure? I've been told I have to wait for my 5 year licence to expire before I can renew it?

There was a thread in the Chiangmai forum a few years back on this issue, and failing a search you could PM

Tywais who will verify this.

I just renewed my 5 year driving licence in Bkk a week ago. Old one would have expired in August.

The 1 year one needed to be expired before you could renew. The 5 year one can be renewed 3 months before it expires. This the third 5 year licence for me.

Once time I renewed a week late they indeed told me off and gave me one that was valid for almost 6 years. If I remember correctly I paid 100bath fine

Just read on TV that curfew is now from midnight to 4am no problem then
