Anyone got a residence certificate from the NEW immigration building in Chiang Mai yet? Promenada is no more. Went to new building at end of day yesterday & was told to come back at 8:30am. Will I get the cert same day? Or is it the standard come back tomorrow that it used to be?

TLDR : Answer Summary
At the new immigration building in Chiang Mai, it is now possible to obtain a residence certificate on the same day with a pickup time of 5:30 PM for a fee of 1000 baht. Alternatively, there is a service available to pick up the certificate the next day for a fee of 500 baht. A free option is available if you can wait for 2 weeks.

correct, we have a policy where you can't mention in country agents or agencies that get visas or do stuff at the immigration offices for people.

Sorry,

I deleted your other comment. Policy of this page is not to mention Visa agents.

UPDATE: it’s now possible to get residence certificate same day, pickup at 5:30pm. Charge is 1000 baht. The old service of picking up next day is still available, pickup at 5:30pm, charge is 500 baht. I presume the “free” one is still available if you want to wait 2 weeks, but I didn’t ask.

no problem. I needed my latest TM30 form (you can register/get that at the same office), 2 pictures and photocopies of my passport and current entry slip. You can do the photocopies and photos there at immigration. I just spoke with the people at counter number 1, it’s where I was directed by the people at the information counter. I believe the expedited service is available all day, they said they sign the certificates at 5pm. Ready for pickup starting at 5:30pm. Hope this helps 🙂

@Jason ******
, can you give a few more details? What documents did you need to provide and who did you talk to about the expedited service? And did you need to go at a certain time of day? Thanks.

This is directly through the immigration office, at the new building back by Airport plaza.

Is that thru the immigration office directly OR is it thru one of those "agencies" that help you get things done there?
