The Stranger Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Hi guys, A friend of mine is claiming that the update of the address registration, when one leave the country or the province and returns, is feasible using the Drive Thru service and without any paperwork, one should present just the passport with the old address registration receipt and in few minutes one's free to go. I find that difficult to believe, but he insisted that is true and he did it himself yesterday. Anyone can confirm it? Thanks for your help.

The Stranger Posted March 30, 2019 Author Share Posted March 30, 2019 (edited) Last november, after a trip outside thailand, I went to the immigration office in Phuket town with all the paperwork i mentioned in my previous post, within the 24 hours after my return. One high rank official was handling my papers and so i took the opportunity to ask him if it was really necessary re-report the very same address also when one is going in another province and back... he said verbatim: "can you read the instruction at my back? Take your time to read it" ... I replied: "According with what I am reading there, the answer is yes, one should report upon return" so he said... "then I have nothing else to add" and he bye bye me... Edited March 30, 2019 by The Stranger a better grammatical form 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soumanioco Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I’ve done it twice already. Provided you use the same address, you just give your passport in the Drive Thru window and you’re done in 20 seconds flat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the Chrome browser because it allows machine translation of Thai text to English. Go to http://www.phuketimmigration.go.th/main.php and click on Notify Resident, then on the new page click on Register. There's a form to fill out. I did not find it necessary to actually submit any documents (chanote, title deed, lease, tabian bahn, etc.) and was emailed an account and password in a few days. I'm not a business owner just the owner of a condo unit I live in. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had it set up for a year and they were even happy when I did my Retirement extension. I rent from another foreigner. it takes a bit f work to set up as a few address lines have to be in Thai but once it is up and running it takes less than a minute to update. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though they did say my previous C of R was "old" ( ?!? ) ...it had been done maybe 2 years previous. Getting the 'tax' stamp was a head scratching affair... you had to go to a kiosk to buy it , but you werent allowed to stick on the document where it said "Affix Here".. Pleased to learn about the drive through ! Edited March 31, 2019 by zaZa9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badrabbit Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 When I did it last I had to give a power of attorney form plus owners ID etc as I rent, hope next time I can just do it at the drive through with slip of paper in my passport.Sent from my SM-G610F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
