speedtripler Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 Can anyone remember how much it costs? I've heard between 100-500 depending on the office and the officer on the day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is 200 baht at Chaeng Wattana immigration and that includes the fee for sending it by EMS to you in about 3 weeks. I assume you are doing 90 day reports to them. If not they will not do it.

Thanks Joe I am not sure where my 90 day reports get done, the girl at the office handles all that I wanted to get it immediately and go to department of land transportation in the morning Is post the only way to get it done?

Unless you got your extension at the one stop center that is where your reports were done. Your receipt should show where it was done. They will only send them to you by EMS. If you have a work permit you don't need a certificate of residence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will have to do a 90 day report before they will do one. Others have been refused with a similar situation as yours. Or you could proof of address from your embassy instead of waiting.

You get a letter stating something like, "Mr Yet Another has stated he resides at 135, Moo 7, ......" on Embassy headed paper. This keeps everybody happy and you can register a vehicle or get a driver's licence. You are correct to point out the apparent lunacy of the paper chase.

The department of land transport only wants a official looking document from some entity such as a embassy. They don't care if is correct or not. I don't think any embassy certifies it. Mine does it as a affidavit and they witness my signature after swearing it is true and correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, if your embassy somehow rumbles that their address certification is based on false info that you have provided, you might find yourself in breach of some law back in your home country - and, hence, in hot water next time you set foot there.
