Tax Stamps? Power of Attorney for TM 30/ C.R./ D.L.

[PhuketSarah]

Been reading  some  chatter  about tax stamp(s)   What are they for   and where to get, please ?

 

And  Power of Attorney. Is this a letter or a  specific  form  from landlord,  If so, where can it be gotten, please? 

 

  And  will I need more than one of each   as I have to attempt the  TM 30   Address Registration 

  AND  need to get a Certificate of Residence   Any ideas on  the validity period of this for renewal of Driver's License ?

 

 

 Thanks in advance for any answers.

No idea which purpose these stamps have, and i only saw some people here telling other people that they are needed, but never saw anybody saying that he personally had to get them.

In the end it depends on the provice, but i assume in most provinces you don't need them, from personal experience i can say that they are not needed in Udon Thani

 

A certificate of residence is usually valid for 30 days and if you have motorbike + car license then you usually need one for each

You can find many forms here including the TM30. I just did one in Phuket, no stamps or POA.

I never do any of that paperwork myself, always have an agent do it. Only thing I need tax stamps for is for renewal of TAT (tourist) license.

I posted the same question some time ago.

I have been answered that they can be found at the tax offices, at many book shops, lawyers, etc.

tax stamps are NEEDED on the POA form that ur landlord needs sign

NOT the tm 30 form or any others u need for immigration

Book shops ?  What on earth do these stamps  do I'd like to know- or is it just another level of hassle hoop  to leap through?

I googled for it and it's probably this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stamp_duty

I won't have  the landlord to  do this for me.  That's why I'm asking about PoA and tax stamps

when i went to the ministry of foreign affairs (chang watthana) to have some documents legalized for my girlfriend, i wrote up a generic "authorization letter."

she signed and dated, and provided signed copy of her passport ID page.

 

that letter was accepted (3rd floor document check), but was required to get tax stamps for the authorization letter, then back in line.

 

stamps were available at the photocopy booth on the 2nd floor.  a couple photocopies and two stamps cost 18 baht.

Thanks for this  reply - You mean in Bangkok?    

[ChouDoufu]

yes, this was at the MFA near immigration at chang watthana, bangkok.

 

this was just a simple letter identifying her (name, passport or id number, address, phone) authorizing me (name, passport number, address, phone) to submit her documents to the mfa for legalization, signed by both of us.

 

poa is required for legalization if submitting for another person.  may not be needed to submit the tm30...see comment #3 above.

Are these also called Excise Stamps, as in what is required on property and financial documents.?

At Phuket Immigration, the stamps for the PoA are available from the drink stall inside the Phuket Immigration compound.
