Hi everyone,

I submitted my application in person for a residence certificate to buy a car at Bangkok Immigration Division 1 last Friday. They gave me a receipt with a reference number and told me to pick it up on April 10.

Do you think it’s possible to try to get it earlier than the scheduled date? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Some comments emphasize that it's best to inquire directly at the immigration office for clarity.
