CiaranKL Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I live in Phang Nga and this year we bought a car. Realized that my home address was not on my work permit so ended up having to get a cert of residence from immigration.....painful. So yesterday HR went to the labor department as they are renewing my work permit. Asked for them to put my home address on the permit and they refused saying they dont do that here. Has any one ever heard of a labor office refusing to do what they should be doing like this and any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorSucker Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Are you working from home? Address on WP is the place where you are allowed to work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I renewed mine I noticed that my address was not at the front, as was the case with the older work permits. I later found out that my home address was now printed near the back of the book (a few pages in). Na - its no where to be seen. They admit its not there.

You realise nearly everybody with a workpermit has his work address on the DL? But up to you if you want to make it more complicated than necessary.

blackcab Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 At the Department of Labour in Bangkok they will put your residential address as the same as your work address, but they need a letter from a Director stating that the Director gives permission. Each regional Labour Office does things their own way - if they point blank refuse you will probably have to live with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed you are right but your DL cannot be used as a certificate of residence when having dealing with government agencies etc. Further more to renew your DL u must bring a certificate of residence with you. They won't accept it as your proof of address either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jossthaifarang Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I perchased 2 cars previously and work permit with work address was accepted without a problem. However, my 3rd vehicle which I purchased around 4-5 months ago they demanded the home address, I also had to go through the immigration thing. The rules must have changed recently, TIT.. Admittedly, I didnt find the process that painfull.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If these public servants can give thai people a car licence instead of a bike licence "oops" do you take their word for anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
