Resident Cert

[petewan]

Hi, I have a new car on order ,should be ready this week. I have sold my old car to the wifes brother.

I know you need a res cert to buy a car but do you need one to sell meaning two and if needed do you have to pay for two. Thanks for any info Pete Pattaya..

Hi Pete,

I don't have the answer if you need two or only one, but it's always better (when dealing with Thai government offices) to come prepared, so I advice you to get 2.

Regards

As the previous reply said you will need 2 Residence Certificates.

However,there should not be an issue of cost because they are free! Try asking for a receipt !

Remember they are only valid for 30 days

Free, are you sure?

[ferguston]

Yes,free.

Look at the "price list of services" at Chonburi Immigration.

A Residence Certificate is not listed because it should be free.

Try asking for an official receipt. They will not give you one.

You have to be firm and refuse to pay.

[JaiLai]

Ok, I did n't think anything was free anymore...

What time does imm open BTW?

[Langsuan Man]

Pay the 200 THB or they might send you to your embassy for it at a much, much, steeper price

It is not listed in the fee chart at Chonburi Immigration because it is an extra service provided

No chance, never ever free for this cert! (certainly not at Jomtien or Hua Hin!)

90-day reporting is free.

I dont see why the price should not be listed for that reason. And what difference does it make anyway? A document is a document.

[davyboy]

A few years back they were free at Suan Pluu, and are free now at Nakon Sawan!

Always 200 baht in Pattaya since 2004 maybe even earlier in the years. {My first Honda 200 baht in 2004} at least per certificate. Unless you have a yellow tambien on your house or condo. Unfotunately nothing is usually free when it comes to any ones government especially in Pattaya.

As far as needing two - my last licence renewal coincided with me changing ownership on a vehicle - hadn't thought about them requiring two originals as transactions were in the same office.

Was taken to a supervisor's desk with original and copy, she simply put a stamp on my copy and signed it - confirming had sighted original and this was an accurate copy.

I have always paid for the confirmation of residency letter.

And why not? User pays.

[JaiLai]

I used the philipinno girl at the office on the left before you go in.

Went there at 0800, she called me at 1030 - job done.

I don't have the patience to wait or deal with the people there!

No way they are free, I have got them from Udon Thani & Jomtien, express was 300, next day was 200.

It is a discretionary fee I think, depends how they feel on the day.

Never received a receipt but never asked for one either.

For the small amount, why cause trouble for yourself.

[BlackPuddingBertha]

I think that what "ferguston" means is they are supposed to be free but local offices impose a variable and unofficial charge.

This would seem to be confirmed by the fact that the charge varies from 500B down to zero depending on the office you go to.

It is indeed the only service at immigration that I am aware of for which they dont give a receipt as a matter of course.
