Don’t be duped

Re: “Addressing issues”, (PostBag, Oct 16).

Lungstib says that the cost of obtaining a certificate of residence from his Immigration office is 500 baht.

In fact, there is officially no charge for such a certificate and, indeed, I got one free from my local office.

Immigration did say that they could not issue a certificate to anyone over the age of 70. But when I asked the official to show me the regulation, they decided that they could issue a certificate.
