khaepmu Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 When applying to renew a 5-year Thai drivers license in Pattaya, will they accept a certificate of proof of residence from the US Embassy? I am aware that I can get proof of residence from my local Thai amphur office but I'm going to be in Pattaya when my license expires and going to the embassy in Bangkok is much quicker than going all the way back to my residence in Thailand.

Jeffrey346 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 The Embassy will cost $50. I believe you need an appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will accept a proof of residence from the US Embassy. Otherwise, a residence certificate from Immigration will be required. If you have a Work Permit, neither is required. Chonburi (Pattaya) Immigration will not provide a residence certificate unless you reside within their jurisdiction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" I know I can read … but because your line about the timing ….even when the TM30 problem started I made my ret. ext. not with it... Thai immigration is a lottery….expect coming days the non o-a results ….. or worse the non o simple , as first test cases about that insurance go appear and different offices /officers go follow the rule ...HOW Edited October 31, 2019 by david555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OH my god we live different planet I think , I just said that I was never asked TM30 for ret. ext. as other persons claim theywhere asked for whatever they had to do at immigration , and many also bin never asked . I indeed have a 1 year lease always to show them … , taking care it is always just new for a year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
