creative1000 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I live in my Thai wife's house, and so obviously I don't have a rental contract, nor is my name in the house ownership blue books. Does my wife have to make a rental lease agreement for me to get the Residency Certificate at Immigration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVENKEEL Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I do mine at metaphut in Rayong and no books no anything, the tm30 or whatever it is that I have stapled into my passport is all I show, it has my address on it. The first time they did a phone call to my lady and that's it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the Amphur Office with Thai wife, with bluebook, passport pages, marriage cert, and the office said I was missing the Residence Certificate. <sigh> ????♂️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may also ask that it be certified by MFA in Bangkok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sead Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Rofl. Clearly she wants it stated that it is her house. In case of divorce she can prove you just hired it. But that just some nonsense from me..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andygrr Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I normally just take a copy of either the water / electric bill which is in the wifes name but same surname as mine. The name on the bill is in Thai. Never had a problem in Pattaya immigration getting residency cert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxxper Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 We used to provide the relevant pages of the blue book and a copy of my wife’s ID. That worked fine. No pseudo contract required, certainly at Jomtien. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a problem as I remember due to the age of my father in law. So they permitted my wife to act in his behalf. They do require though a form filled out by the owner and copy of bluebook as well as copy of the owners ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is simply an address registration for Thai people only. The only non Thai people that can be registered in a blue book (actually have to be registered in a blue book) are holders of PR.

Autonuaq Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 all i needed was copy of aal the pages of the blue book singed, copy of id signed to proof who owns the house, the phone number of the owner (hers) and a letter signed by her tells that i lived with her and the address is the primary address in Thailand where I stayed and could been seen as my Thai address. worked fine for with me already for many years.
