PoorSucker Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Was getting one today at Jomtien immigration. Last year when I renewed my driving license they required a letter from my condo. Buying a new motorbike so needed one more, didn't want my condo letter. Copy of your TM30 is the thing now... Tourists are asked for TM30 when renewing a 30 day arrival stamp. Didn't ask for TM47 or TM6. Wanted a copy of my original visa, luckily I had a recent one. My former original visa was 18 years old in an expired passport from another nation. 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwardflory Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) A TM-30 IS REQUIRED for a foreigner staying in Thailand. Also reguired, a NEW TM-30 within 24 hours, when you MOVE residence / where you are staying, from point A to point B. TM-30 and 90 day reports are a fact of life here. Depending if you OWN or RENT the condo, you can get a "HOUSE BOOK" either Blue or Yellow which IS proof of residence - the LOCAL amphor can give you the information THEY require. A house book is proof of residence. I am married now, and had a Yellow house book ( she filed TM-30 ) over a year BEFORE we were married. We were living in her condo. In Thailand, up to date paperwork is VERY important and opens many doors. Edited January 27 by edwardflory spelling - fat fingers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NONG CHOK Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I will be renewing my Thai drivers license in the next few months. As my current address of which I paid for is in my wifes name do I still have to produce a residence certificate. I've lived at my current address for the past 22 years. It has always been used in Thai one year visa and drivers license renewals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimn Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 You say you are on a tourist visa and require an extension need a TM30, fair enough. So why do you need a residence certificate if you don't live here? If you have an extension married or Retirement and returning to the same address and already have a TM30, then no need to do a new one. Yes at Jomtien.

The TM30 requirements at jomtien change with the breeze. I think you will find currently (dec 2023) they want a new tm30 if returning from outside Thailand.

But that has been the requirement for a little while now, so may be due a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
