ORIGINAL POSTERHi 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!

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user seeks advice on whether they can collect their residence certificate earlier than the scheduled date from Bangkok Immigration Division 1. Comments suggest that it may be possible to expedite the collection for a fee of 500 Baht, or it could be ready in as little as one hour without charge if you ask at the counter. Some comments emphasize that it's best to inquire directly at the immigration office for clarity.
