Can I get the residence certificate with this DTV visa?

I went to a driving school and passed both the theory and practical tests - now I just need to get a residence certificate from immigration. I have a DTV visa.

TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, it is possible to obtain a residence certificate with a DTV visa, but the success may vary depending on the immigration office. It's important to ensure that a TM30 form has been filed. Costs for the residence certificate can range from 60 THB for a longer wait or 1,000 THB for immediate processing, depending on the location. It's advisable to check specific office requirements, as some users report difficulty in procuring the certificate at certain offices like in Korat.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).

Anonieme deelnemer 602 depends on the office. I think in Patong you it’s 100 THB per certificate.

And if you want 2 driver’s licenses (car and motorcycle), then you need 2 certificates.

Yes, go to Immigration Division 1 (Building B) at the Chalermprakiat Government Complex, located at 120, Moo 3, Chaengwattana Road (Soi 7), Thungsonghong, Laksi Bangkok

*****

, is open Monday to Friday from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM to 4:30 PM.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Location: Chalermprakiat Government Complex, Building B.

Address: 120, Moo 3, Chaengwattana Road (Soi 7), Thungsonghong, Laksi Bangkok

*****

.

Phone: 02-

89.

Opening Times: Monday to Friday: 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM to 4:30 PM, but make sure you have already done a 90day report and have the slip from that. Otherwise you can get a residency certificate from your embassy without having done the 90-day report.
