ubonjoe Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Yes they will do a address affidavit that is equal to a certificate of residence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoDisplayName Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 https://th.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/local-resources-of-u-s-citizens/notaries-public/affidavit/ Fill out the affidavit with whatever you desire. The notary will not confirm it, nor ask for supporting documentation. The notary is certifying only that you are the individual that made the statement and signed the form. You will need to book an appointment for notarial services. https://evisaforms.state.gov/Instructions/ACSSchedulingSystem.asp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DineshR Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Thai immigration does it for free ... just did it a couple of months ago to renew my Thai driving license. But it takes a few days to get it. You can get it done at the US embassy via an affidavit as others have mentioned but then it costs US$50. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwill Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 (edited) For $50 they do. It is basically just a notorization of your statement of address. As others have already said you can get it from your local immigration office for free. But need more paperwork and a photo now.

HappyExpat57 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I suspect whoever is requiring a certificate of residence would balk upon seeing a piece of paper from the US embassy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been clear if the OP had stated reason for residence certificate. He has a thread in motorcycles asking about registration so guessing that's what it's for. If so embassy letter would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I JUST went to buy a motorbike at one of the Hondas in Chanthaburi and they told me they needed the letter from immigration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeptic7 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Yes. Did one there 3 years ago. $50 USD for Notary service. CW INSISTED on a 90-day Report to process the CofR. At that time, I had never stayed over 90 days even with "Retirement Visa". Went to the embassy and was given a notarized affidavit equivalent, which served the purpose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence for 7 years no 90 report and as a result could not get residence certificate from CW. The issue for Oz folk is that AU embassy does not provide that service. No surprise there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it's just that region that insists upon residence certificate from immigration. I know the embassy letter is fine for TDL and Bank Account etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubenRemus Posted September 4, 2022 Author Share Posted September 4, 2022 Thanks all - any tips on what to include in an affidavit at US Embassy? Yes, it's for transfering registration of a used motorcycle. I have a one year lease, plus valid work permit/Non B visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gungpao Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 The affidavit would be in English I presume. Is this an issue as I recall the residence certificate from immigration is in Thai. For dl and vehicle registration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaoNow Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Based on my experience using both the English-language US Embassy affadavit and the Thai-language Immo/CW certificate of residence -- either one satifies the Land Transport office doing the vehicle/license permits. But your mileage may vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubenRemus Posted September 5, 2022 Author Share Posted September 5, 2022 @TaoNow Thanks. What specific content should go into the affidavit, if your opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
