Bmouthboyo Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Hi Guys, Trying to sign up to this mPay for using NFC on my phone to pay for BTS etc and as a foreigner with no ID Card number I need to apply for it in a store. Now I am a bit confused as to what I am classed as: Obviously not Tha, but am I Foreigner or Residing in Thailand? I live here with a full work permit etc so not really sure as I meet both of the last 2 options. Part 2 – Attachment For Thai - copy of Identification Card For Foreigner - original and copy of passport - copy of habitual residence in Thailand For Person Residing in Thail and - original and copy of identification card for foreigner - copy of habitual residence in Thailand Now if I am classed as Foreigner do I need a copy of habitual residence given I have a work permit? I have not been given this proof of residence before by my employer so a bit unsure how I go about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Work permit should be enough for proof of residence. You are a foreigner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soutpeel Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Work permit should be enough for proof of residence. You are a foreigner Yeap a work permit is the document needed and trumps all others, a WP is in effect your " thai I'd card " Sent from my Nexus 7 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmouthboyo Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 That's cool. One final question then is that my wife has a dependants Non Imigrant visa. If she wanted to register for this service in the same way would my work permit allow her to skip the proof of residency section also or would she need to actually obtain this?

ubonjoe Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Perhaps with a copy of your marriage certificate it would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One suspects if your the principle account holder you should be able to nominate anyone you want to use your account eg similar to the mobile phone contracts ie a family account Sent from my Nexus 7 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farang62 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 What about renewing a drivers license, they always want a letter of residence from imigration. I don't believe a work permit means anything to most government agencies, they probably don't know what it is. But when I renew my 5 year DL I will try it and see what happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A WP my friend means everything to all government departments , Banks and other institutions , as stated previously, it is in effect a farangs version of the thai ID card I can assure you if you have a WP you do not need a letter of residence simply because if your working here you are defacto resident In nearly 13 years on a WP dealing with banks, government departments etc and have never been asked to provide any other form of proof of residence other than showing the WP Sent from my Nexus 7 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
