Certificate of Residence Problem

[sananeamk0715]

Hello,

 

I'd like to have certificate of residence for my motorbike and driver license.

 

I just called Surat Thani immigration. And as they said if I don't have work permit I can't get certificate of residence from immigration. I have Non-B visa and I'm waiting my work permit.

 

Really I can't get certificate of residence from immigration with Non-B visa? As I read on internet if we don't have work permit we can get certificate of residence with 2 photos, TM30 form etc. so if someone not have work permit can't have Thai driver or motorbike license? Or immigration just lazy?

 

What should I have to do? Thank you!

I can tell from experience that at least in Phuket a certificate of residence does not require a work permit. How would people on Non-Os based on marriage or even PE visa holders obtain a drivers license without a certificate of work permit? My advise would be to just go there in person.

You can also get a certificate of residence at the embassy of your home country, in most cases.

Issanman: I doubt that the DLT accepts those for drivers licenses. Would be to hear I'm wrong though.

Yes but from Surat Thani to Bangkok too far and I'm only free on weekends.
