Eterno Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 Hello everyone. I am from Argentina, and my passport its almost full (two empty pages left). I am in this moment on a 90 days visa exemption. My embassy is asking me, for getting a bio-metric new passport some sort of "Services receipt" (serious one), such as water, electricity, renting contract, internet, phone, etc. I have none of this, so even they guy answering the phone (in the embassy) recommended me to do a mobile phone one. ("postpaid"?). Which is reasonable because it would be the cheapest option. Right now i have "prepaid" of AIS, the other day i went to a DTAC shop (there is not a AIS serious shop so close to me). And i found a mobile phone plan, only phone, no 3g,etc. For 200 a month. Which is fine, but they asked me for a copy of my passport and a copy of my credit card. This last one is the one i am concerned, should i trust that? Do you know the typical type of requirements to do a 3 months mobile phone contract? If i don't get some sort of "Receipt Contract" they will only grant me a "emergency passport", which is quite doggy indeed. Any suggestion for a mobile plan, or other type of contract?? Thank you in advance!!!
ubonjoe Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 Could you get a rental agreement for where you are staying that would satisfy the renting contract requirement. Blank agreements can be obtained at stationary and book shops. All it requires is a signature from the owner, you and a witness. They can be written as a month to month agreement. Asking for copy of your credit card seems a bit dodgy. True Move seems to be fairly easy to get a post paid contract from. Not long ago I changed my prepaid sim to a post paid not long ago and all they wanted was a copy of my passport.
Eterno Posted May 4, 2016 Author Posted May 4, 2016 Thanks again Ubonjoe. Been to True Move shop, the manager from it asked me work permit. The employees didn't seem to know that requirement. I will still ask in other phone companies, and check some stationary or book shops here in Chiang Mai. Is there any type of problem that could arise from signing a contract? I suppose my embassy is just asking for a contract like a sort of formality, I suppose they will not even check it thoroughly.
