proof of residency german embassy

[hadock]

Hello,

 

i need a proof of residency, coz next month i have to renewal my thai driving license.

A few years ago it was difficult already to get a proof of residency from the german embassy in bangkok, as i stayed only on a tourist visa.

Embassy told me i need a 1year non immigrant visa. Now i stay on a 1 year non immigrant visa B, but rules changend again.

 

Just coming back from the embassy, they told me they  give me only a  proof of residency if my B visa is supporting a work permit, which it isn´t.

I showed them all my documents, rental contract from my condo, bill from internet provider , and so on. But they send me away.

 

So now is the question what other options i have. Any other TV members facing this problem also? I am thinking about to take my documents and visit an immigration office in Pattaya,

Trat , or where ever and to ask for a proof of residency. I did this a few years ago already,  but for sure things changend also.

I am afraid it looks strange for an immigration officer, for example in pattaya or whereever, when i show up with a condo rental contract from bangkok.

 

Thank you for any advice...

If you can prove an address in Pattaya you could get certificate of residence at Jomtien immigration.

Immigration in BKK doesn't provide certificates of residence?

Only if you are doing 90 day reports to them.
