Lite Beer Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 It does appear that some Immigration Offices are no longer issuing Resident Certificates. Another option is your Embassy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 The list you gave sounds like the requirements to get a yellow house book not a certificate of residence. Of course if you got that you would never again need a certificate of residence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth the time investment and gets you 'into the system' so to speak, with your own ID number etc. think of it as a perpetual residence certificate, the one which keeps on giving Edited June 25, 2009 by samran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Those requirements look a bit light to me for a Yellow Tabbien Baan. When I asked in Khon Kaen they said I needed a letter from Immigration and a letter from the UK Embassy plus a few other things. As we all know it will depend on where you apply.

TerryLH Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 A third option for proof of residence, at least in Khon Kaen last Dec, is a Work Permit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samran Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Some very rural tessabans refuse to issue yellow books. Catch 22 -- again. 'move' somewhere where they are more friendly, and you know someone who is happy to let you 'move' in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible to use a bill or statment from the bank(Krungsri) as proof of adress to the immigration office in phuket town?

Need to get this today when I go for 90 day reporting, but if I have to get the owner to come with me then I'll just get extorted by the British Embassy instead. Also, how many copies do I need to renew an expired driving license, one or two? Edited August 20, 2009 by konangrit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) Any proof of address should work with immigration if they will do the certificate. Edit: Bangkok immigration will not require all those things. That was to get a yellow house book. But it can take a couple of weeks to get it.
