johng Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I have a retirement visa, will a copy of my rental agreement be ok for proof of residence ?No probably not. You need to goto immigration and get a "certificate of residence" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johng Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 They might make you watch a video and most probably reaction and eyesight tests...but shouldn't make you do the theory test again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think a medical is required. Is this a new requirement. Not needed on my last 5 year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to goto immigration and get a "certificate of residence" Make sure your housemaster has already registered you with Immigration. If not on Immigration House Registration database then the CoR will not be issued. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medical is required 2 to 5 years. 5 to 5 not. But don't ask me why. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 (edited) Repetition does not hurt, general rules (not Phuket specific): medical required for 2yr to 5yr (not for 5yr to 5yr) no theory test, just watching video (sometimes waived) but physical tests (reaction, eye sight) What document is accepted as proof of residence varies from office to office, but be prepared to show a proof from immigration as you don't seem to have a WP or a yellow book (which is also not accepted at certain offices).
