Hello,

I went to Kop Cheong Immigration yesterday to apply for a certificate of residency, went there with the correct documents.

The Immigration officer stated that I need a YELLOW BOOK (great for long term) for a COR. First time I knew about the Yellow book until the IO mentioned it.

The officer is technically correct but my problem is that I need 3 COR immediately (TDL, 2 for Banks and 2 for identification purposes for the UK later on). I should have told the officer that yesterday.

The process of the Yellow book could take upto MONTHS to be approved which I can't afford to wait for obvious reasons.

I probably go to Surin Immigration now to ask them.

Any advice? thank you in advance 👍

The io is wrong.

Countless folk have obtained COR for various things such as TDL or open bank account etc.

Some offices would require a TM30 or most recent TM47.

Of course tourists also may have need for COR.

The notion that a yellow book is required is ridiculous.

Perhaps he/she meant a yellow book would suffice for application of the COR
