TM30 and/or Certificate of Residence?

Thanks.

You, as a foreigner, cannot be named in the blue books as the 'housemaster'.

The house book does not prove ownership, only registration of address.

You can only be registered at one address, regardless of how many homes you may own.

 

If Bangkok will be your main residence then you will use CW Immigration to obtain your Certificate of Residence.

You can obtain a Yellow book from your local Amphur in BKK (in which you are named).

You can obtain a Driving Licence at any DLT offices.

 

The documents required may vary slightly from Government offices in different provinces, so better to check direct with them first, although members can supply a generalisation of what they had to supply.

You must obtain a Yellow Tabien Baan before you can obtain the pink Foreigners ID card. They can be issued at the same time.

Your answer implies that there is no "housemaster" whatsoever, which seems counterintuitive.

 

A Non-imm ME "O" visa does not entitle one to anything useful for residing here - at least at the CW Immigration Office.

 

It seems I need a new visa

Do I really? In the first 3 days the hotel in Bkk had to file a TM30 and after arrival in Phuket my landlord had to file the TM30. At the immigration in Phuket I already received a certificate of residence and confirmation of my new Phuket residence stapled into my passport. Isn't that enough?

Sounds like Immigration accepted the TM30 alone and changed your address accordingly.

As long as you have the TM28 and/or TM30 receipt your good to go.

I'm a little confused about the dates.

 

Today I signed the contract with the new landlord, house needs a few things (painting, small repairs) and will be ready in about a week from now. Until these things are done, I'm not actually staying there.

 

Should I bring the TM28 and TM30 to immigration right after signing the contract (in this case today/tomorrow), or  only after I'm actually staying in there?

[dentonian]

To avoid any questions the dates on the TM30 and 28 should be dated the same day, or the day before you submit them.

 

Theoretically, even though you've signed a contract, your still living at your current registered address.

I'd file when you actually take possession.

Agree.

It might not make any difference. But If the law requires it within 24 hours then best to plan to do it immediately that you move.

This might mean that you should not move on a saturday or the day before a public holiday.

In any given situation, being 90 day report, extensions, or changing address, if the Immigration offices are closed, then the next working day will suffice. You are not penalised because they were closed.

If moving on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, the next available day you could possibly report would be a Monday, without any penalty.

The office being closed does not excuse the possible 2000 baht fine for late reporting since their is a 7 day grace period already.
