Getting A Letter Of Residence

[Captain_Slash]

This is what I was shown at Chiang Mai Immigration.

I told them I didnt have or know what a TM.30 was, they asked where I was staying so I gave them my GH card which they took into another room and promptly returned and gave me the TM.30.

A building outside does the photocopying and also your photos too.

I said I dont have #5 which they said doesnt matter.

I said I dont have #7 which they also said doesnt matter.

Once I gave the completed form over I asked if I was to come back this afternoon or monday to collect it, only to be told come back next month.

I was given this with the date on which to collect the letter of residence which can be picked up by anyone with this receipt.

When I asked how much I owed I was told its free.

One thing to remember is you can only apply for the letter of residence between 8 & 10 am and its now done at Immigration at the airport

I got one of those in Suphanburi without any other documents, but had to pay 700B, no receipt. Apparently, the new big boss is stopping offices charge for it, so they now make you wait.

700 Baht is steep Peter, the rate varied in Chiang Mai over the years but I never paid more than 500 Baht
