PhuketSarah Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackdd Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconut Kidd Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 You can find many forms here including the TM30. I just did one in Phuket, no stamps or POA. http://immigrationbangkok.com/thailand-immigration-forms/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenl Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
federicoP Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 " Been reading some chatter about tax stamp(s) What are they for and where to get, please ?" 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What on earth do these stamps do I'd like to know- or is it just another level of hassle hoop to leap through? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChouDoufu Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 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.

ChouDoufu Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 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.
