I still did for my licence renewal - yellow book and the 500 baht letter from immigration. Can get a letter from Phuket? Isaan dweller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graemeaylward Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 A couple of years ago when I renewed my driving licence, I went to immigration for letter of residence. I was asked for 300 baht. I protested, saying that according to website, it was free. Immigration Officer stated that the website was correct and the letter was in fact free, but that there was a 300 baht admin fee! I paid and watched money go straight in drawer, no receipt issued ???????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psimbo Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) As someone who is directly affected by this as opposed to every other comment above I can conclude that the Immigration Boss is correct- IOs do NOT take B300 for a address confirmation letter in PHUKET. The girl sat next to him, who is NOT an IO is the one who takes the money. ???? Edit: I am not implying that the people in the picture are the ones doing this- IIRC the letters are done at a different numbered desk, which I will not name just in case.

PST Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I was charged 300 Baht at Phuket Town last year, and more recently a few days before lockdown at Patong i was chaged 500 baht by the girl in there who thinks she runs the place. They obviously thought that they could charge what they wanted due to covid situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
