Popular Post NE1 Posted December 13, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 13, 2014 After reading various posts on this subject I photo copied everything in my passport that had a Thai Visa stamp , old and new. Photo copied all relevant documents of the wife , had photos done , and went off to Immigration to get a proof of residency letter for the driving license authorities. I am sure I am not alone in this , where I have to make a 240 kilometre round trip to my Imm. office , when there is one 40 kilometres away , but it is in another district. Anyway , We left the house at 06:50hrs and arrived at the Imm. office at 08:30hrs. I looked at all the forms , there was not any thing that looked like proof of residency. I spoke to the nice lady behind the counter , " what do you want it for " a driving license renewal I replied. Before she would give me the form , she asked for all my photo copied doc. rummaged through , took what she wanted and gave me the form to fill in and also gave the wife a declaration form to fill in . We completed both forms took a ticket and sat down. The nice lady told us to put the ticket back and she dealt with our forms immediately. After a 10 minute wait she called us across , there you go , one proof of residency doc. free of charge . Time taken , 40mins from entering the building. Set off back to our driving license centre with all docs. intact. Did the traffic lights , the emergency braking , depth perception and peripheral vision tests, then sat around till 12:45hrs. " Excuse me sir , but your passport number on your old license does not match the passport number on your present passport " after a 20 min explanation of how when you renew a passport you get a different number we were good to go. Now I have to sit through a video for one hour , is there English sub titles , as my Thai is very limited , no , but it doesn't matter if you cannot understand it , everybody has to do it. There were 12 of us in there ( 11 Thais and myself ), first timers and those renewing , Two managed to fall asleep and one was continually texting on her phone. After the video , went down stairs to get my photo done . 10mins later , that will be 605 baht please , here is you license , thank you. Finally got home at 15:00hrs knackered but pleased. It could have been worse. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
