Chomper Higgot Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I this morning visited our local immigration office to request a ‘Confirmation of address letter’, I need this to meet requirements of an application am submitting to my own country’s embassy. The answer I got was: We don’t issue confirmation of address letters. Odd because I have, on a number of occasions. received these from the same immigration office. Next came the question, ‘what do you need the letter for?’ Followed by, ‘Show me the application papers’. My response was, I don’t have them with me. I stated I wanted the same letter they provided me when I registered my car. The answer ‘we don’t issue address confirmation letters’. I had a copy of the last letter (now two years out of date) in my file but no way was I going to invite the response to proving the jobs worth wrong. So what next. Are these letters really no longer issued? If they are still issued can I get this letter at another immigration office? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Which office did you go to? A certificate of residency is still being issued by most offices. If by chance you went Chaeng Wattana immigration in Bangkok they are being done at the Muang Thong Thani office now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DrJack54 Posted December 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) When you apply for residence certificate there is form immigration provide (not sure if all imm offices do). One of the options on that form is Thai Drivers License. Tick that and you will receive statement. Pic attached. That would also satisfy for example opening Bank account etc. Added note: you always receive more accurate info when immigration office is named. Mine is CW. No issue in naming io.

I’ve had several of these certification letters in the past, today’s refusal and statements that they don’t issue these is beyond bizarre. I don’t think going back and proving them wrong would be helpful. My guess, the wrong answer was given to start with and then doubled down on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
