Tigerbythetail Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I got two residence certificates today and used one for my Thai license already. I want to use other to buy moto scooter next week. My tourist visa expires Friday same day I fly to Philippines for a couple days then back for visa exempt entry. Which I will renew for thirty then get a more permanent visa. Does my residence certificate expire when tourist visa expires friday or does it have own expiration date!?

ubonjoe Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 The certificate should have a date for when it expires or a statement that it is only valid for 30 days from the date it was issued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerryd Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Every one I've gotten was only valid for one month regardless of what Visa I was on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnx355 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Maybe it does but all written in Thai. here it is if anyone can read when it expires. My wife says that the last line say that:" this certificate expire 30 days after the date of issue" This is the bold script under the Immigration phone and fax number.

Tigerbythetail Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 great. i was hoping it expired on its own and not with visa. 30 days is plenty for me. would have sucked for me if expired with visa since i plan to buy my scooter in patty after returning from philippines on different visa. thanks!

ThaiFelix Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 A little of topic but I paid 500 baht for mine at Sakon Nakhon Imm office to renew my drivers......is that the norm?. I just thought it was a little over the top, considering the cost of the license is far less. I was also suspicious because I was laughed at and refused when I asked for a receipt??

Tigerbythetail Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 I got two 500 each so 1000 since they told me needed one for dl and one for auto purchase. It seems Thais treat foreighners like dumbo the elephant sometimes. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willyumiii Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 The certificate should have a date for when it expires or a statement that it is only valid for 30 days from the date it was issued. As always, Joe is correct. I have one in my hand now and it states that it is valid for 30 days. My question: I have not used mine yet for the reason I got it ( drivers licence ) and it expires on Sunday 14 Feb. Can I stop by Immigration tomorrow with my current certificate and get it extended or renewed, or must I submit the required documents again and apply for a new one?

ThaiFelix Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 You have to go through the whole process again if it expires.... .fresh paperwork, doctors cert. etc, and of course the money, its all about the money....same happened to me.

sikishrory Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) Its now 2.53am and I got an alarm set for 6.30 to head to pattaya dlt but actually I'm pretty sure I won't be waking up. I'm also heading to Oz for a week tomorrow. Checked my cert that I spent half day getting the other day and definitely no mention of an expiry date. Hopefully it's good for 30 days at least.
