terrymor66 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I searched thru all the info about getting my certicate of residency here on TV. I went to immigration first, and they said I would have to wait for my 1 year visa extension to kick in ( currently on a 90 day non - o ). So I gathered all my documents ( lease agreement and so on )and headed down to the US Embassy here in Chiang Mai. Got the number, went to the window, told him I was buying a truck and needed the cert. to register and buy the truck in my name. He gave me a simple form to fill out with my address on it and a bit of other info. Took it back to him, paid 1140 Baht. Sat back down, waited to be called again, went back up, they had a stamped seal on the document, had me sign it then he notorized it and said good luck. Then I was out the door. They never asked to see any documents that I had to support where I was living or anything. Just fill out the form and attest that you are not lying and you are good to go. Much simpler than I anticipated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverhawk_usa Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Well just to present the other side. Went to Chiang Mai Immigration to get 2 Certificates of Residency. Fortunately I do have a 1 year visa. Presented them with one set of lease agreement and other paperwork they now request and filled out the form. I asked for a second form as I needed two, and they said simpy label reasons 1) and 2) on the same form. Finished and out the door in approximately 15 minutes, no fee.

terrymor66 Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 I should also mention that even though I was shot down at Immigration, they were quite nice about it and told me that I should have no problems getting one from my embassy. They were very polite and explained the new rule issues they had to deal with. Although tedious, overall good learning experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
