I cannot predict what Nonthaburi immigration will want. For sure it will be more than what most other offices will want. It seems I clicked on the wrong link to copy on the immigration website. This is the correct one. https://www.immigration.go.th/download/1486548833812.doc Hello Joe I was wandering that you might be correct since this form is so vague & the other is a more detailed questionare that may be needed to accompany the form you are now suggesting Any further thoughts Joe PS: Or this second form (or puket form ) may be for a TB since they want your parents name & address ( just a realisation as the Tesabine wanted a translated copy of my Birth Cert for YB application ) Edited July 18, 2017 by BEVUP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not the reason I believe the Phuket Land Transport Office doesn't accept it though. The real reason I believe is that the LTO in Phuket doesn't want to be in the business of deciding where a foreigner lives. They simply outsource that responsibility to the immigration office and make the foreigner do the work. It's the classic way of operating in bureaucracies throughout the world -- cover your rear end. Nobody can blame the LTO because they relied on a document provided by immigration. The irony is that immigration does no investigation when providing your certificate of residency. You fill out the application and if it matches your information in their database, they issue you a certificate of residency. They ask to see no proof that it's up to date (e.g., recent utility bills, etc.). They take their 300-500 Baht fee and issue the document, having no more evidence of where you actually live than the LTO would have. In fact, if the LTO wanted to they could merely look at the 90 Day Report receipt you have stapled in your passport. It's official, issued by immigration, and "proves" that it's your address (at least when the 90 day report was made). But, it's easier for them to insist on the certificate of residency from immigration. Why go out on a limb and interpret documents you already have when they can simply insist on the certificate of residence from immigration?

The title of it as shown on the immigration website is " Report aliens working in the foundation / association / non-profit organization". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there should be a way to report those corrupt immigration fellows without getting directly involved....sure your missus could work out something innovative....

Madgee Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Before my local amphur was issuing Tabian Baans for foreigners which are preferred as proof of residence in my area, a COR was easily available at the local police station. They had the template on their pc and just filled in the details with an extra note on the bottom stating what it was for. No charge. Try your local cop-shop first, no harm in asking!

Why not try the police? Or get a yellow book, it helps and unless I am mistaken, the yellow book can override a COR?...or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornishcarlos Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 My local Amphur are making a Yellow book application very difficult and for the amount of times I need a COR, hardly worth the hassle. I might ask at the police station, just out of interest... Not optimistic with our local plod though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
