dayward1 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Hello all, I'm not working, so I have no work permit. Neither me nor my Thai wife own property (no house or land book); we rent while I'm going to attend university in BKK next semester (I haven't started yet). I have a Multiple entry Non-O visa (marriage). My wife and myself are both listed on the house contract where we rent (and registered @Changwattana). Will a house contract suffice for the Certificate of Residency to get a motorcycle license? I have to make a trip to the embassy soon, should I spend the $50.00 USD while I'm there and get one from the Embassy? Also, off this forum topic (sorry), should I buy multiples (2-3) of the Cert. of Residency? I've read that to open a bank account requires one. Seems a few things needed to be legal in Thailand require this Cert. of Residence, and if I have to book an appointment at my embassy and pay 1700 baht every time it's a bit frustrating. Am I misunderstanding? Thanks in advance for all help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwasaki Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Why not try a couple of DLT offices and see if it's acceptable some have different rules. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayward1 Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 @Kwasaki Thanks for the reply. I'd rather just get it done without a lot of running around. I've never tried for a license. I've not a clue what's needed, only what's posted up here in the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ejjeje Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I got car and motorbike last week on a simple 30 days on arrival stamp. Go to immigration cost 500 thb only. Bring them copy of contract or the condo/house thats enough! Medical certificate (go to some small clinic) big hospital is a rip off in terms of cost! Photocopy of passport and visa! However you need book your queue can be over a month waiting time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Chaeng Wattana immigration will not do a certificate of residency unless you are doing 90 day reports to them. The fee is 200 baht and they send it to you by EMS in about 3 weeks. Since you have a multiple entry non-o visa from a embassy or consulate that would mean you are not doing 90 reports. Your only choice is to get one at your embassy. You should not need a certificate of residency to open a bank account. Your wife should be able to act as your reference to open a account. She would need her ID card and a copy of house book registry. If she has a bank account it would be easier if you applied at the same bank.

I wanted to open a second account locally so when working in a neighbouring country I could use the atm card from it instead of my main account. 2nd account would only have 30,000 a month in it to limit loss if the card got skimmed/lost etc. Wife was with me with all paperwork in hand and her account details at the same bank. I was refused an account because I didn't have WP. Had Non O etc res' cert from Imm' Ended up my wife opened a 2nd account got the atm card and book and handed them to me in front of the staff saying to me you use these, I don't want them.
