I've just arrived at promenada to find out resident certificate is only issued at your own countries consulate or embassy.

Thank fully I also needed a visa extension and had the right size picture.

Oh my, here we go again and again.  Resident visa? Not likely.  Resident Certificate?  Certificate for residents?  What is a resident?

 

certificate of residence?  They shut that down a while ago.

Is the agent that was handling this no longer able to do so? Certificate of residence.....

I'd heard that office had moved upstairs where a camera shop had been....

I used them for one about 3 months ago....

Nope it's the IM office.

This means I can't get my motorcycle licence.

My next question is can I go to the next nearest office (Chiang Rai?) And hey one there?

One of the most confusing threads for a while.

The wrong title is totally misleading.

 

To the point:

 

Chiang Mai immigration does not issue residence certificates.

You have to get it from your consulate/embassy in Bangkok (for a price usually).

No you can't.

 

I can't help about the procedure at the UK embassy.

Quite sure someone will help out.

To the mod: consider to change the title?

 

Also more response expected in the visa forum where such questions are discussed frequently.

You need to show residence in the immigration area that you would be applying for the certificate of residency. If you can do that for Chiang Rai then yes if not I would say no. Another option is to ask the Department of Land Transportation if they will accept a cr from the local police?

I didn't know the police can issue CR.?

I went to the transport office with everything but the lady at the reception desk said I must have a CR. And suggested I get a international driving licence, not knowing these have to be applied for in person in the UK.

I've also checked the UK embassy website, costs as usual are high, but they list independent proof of address like a utility bill which I don't have being resident for only 1 week.

The other irony is the police have a check point on the main highway towards my condo!

Arse! [emoji16]

Oops missed that in my mini stress rush, like the original title cockup.

At least I have my extension now.

I just moved back to Chiang Rai after 2 years in CM; not likely that you could get one here (landlord needs to report the tenant/alien to immigration before you even apply), so in essence you apply where you live.  That said CR immigration is a very different experience to CM and I will go there in the next few days anyway, and will ask.  I would talk to the DLT (department of land transport) in CM first and explain your situation, maybe they have a work around for the certificate of residence now that CM immg won't issue them anymore.

There are no more CR being issued at Chiang Mai Immigration as of yesterday. Yes the local police can issue a CR. Some will and some won't. They may or may not charge a You need to ask fee. You would need to inform the DLT why your asking about this other wise its a trip to Bangkok.

Thanks for the ask.

I've tried to explain at DLT but it didn't pass the first lady on the main reception desk. Even with my Thai girlfriend pleading my case.

It is to late to change the title other than a minor spelling change.

Not moving since it is local to Chiang Mai.

All you can do is ask. The worst they can say is no. Some will do it and some will not.

Sold my car to one of the 2nd hand car "tents", the owner knows his way around but could not find a way around the certificate of residence problem. This after contacting his contacts at DLT so I guess no way around.

 

A related question: I am Dutch and we have no (hon.) consul in CM, is it possible for a (hon.) consul to issue a CR for a person of another nationality ?

 

For the Dutch it seems very difficult as the Embassy/consulate requests a proof that one has really emigrated, this has to be less than 6 months old and can applied for at a Dutch municipality, which sends it, I hope, to my Thai address and I send it with other documents to the Dutch Consulate which might issue a CR so that I can sell my car.

Welcome to Kafkaland.

You need a YTB before you get the PC and you need a CR to get the YTB.

Central cop shop told me to go back to promenada,
Traffic police where you pay fine said try airport immigration.
Embassy won't take condo contract as evidence of where I live.
I think I'll have to play dodge the cops and pay the fine at the main station instead of the 300 baht tea money fine I got yesterday.

Updates when promenada start the TM30 again would be appreciated.
