It was a week ago when I tried to open a bank account, branch to branch. I got it by 3rd attempt. Everything was set to make me lucky and open that account with no nonsense question (other branches usually ask) that particular day at particular branch by a particular banker. if they want to get rid of you for any reason (the reason could be anything you name it) then they twist even reasonable rules to not let you to make it. note: not only province to province, but also branch to branch, employee to employee and even what day or what time. And many more unknown factors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could open bank account and get driving license (with non-o visa, though) Did you get the embassy to issue the certificate of residence where you actually reside, as opposed to immigration office where the agent is registering your address for your non-O, and 90-day report will be done?

Most call it proof of or confirmation of a persons address not a certificate of residency. Some have people do a affidavit or statutory declaration swearing it is their address.

Yes, so far we agree, but is this then also valid for applications within Th? e.g. buying car or others, opening bank account,etc. Further to my previous post, my Embassy can also issue a 'COR' , but only for issues concerning my original country.

It's quite common, as in most embassies offer a related service, but usually on the expensive side compared to immigration. Would need to check but I heard that the French embassy was charging 100 euros or so for the service (needs to legalised). Here's the info on the British embassy page:https://www.gov.uk/guidance/notarial-and-documentary-services-guide-for-thailand#affirmation-of-residency And here on the Dutch embassy's page:https://www.netherlandsworldwide.nl/countries/thailand/living-and-working/certificate-of-residence Not 100% sure it's the same document as the one Thai immigration offices issue (TM16), but it does seem to serve the same purposes.

span1668 Posted December 8, 2020 Author Share Posted December 8, 2020 The certificate from the embassy is not the same as the one provided by immigration but it serves the same purpose and it is accepted in Thailand. It was accepted to open a bank account and to apply for a driving license. And it was not translated into english! And it was free. It is a document which is issued when you register at the embassy as "a national" living in a foreign country. I guess if you don't register, it might get more complicated, and certainly not free.
