ORIGINAL POSTER

To renew a tourist visa and to apply for a residency cert most of the documents are the same. The only difference seems to be TM7 application form filled for visa renewal compared to TM30 for residency cert. 

Both need, passport photo, passport visa page copy and passport info page copy

Will I be able to get both of these done in the same visit and do I need two copies of each documents?

these are the common found requirements for the 30 days extension of stay at your local Thai immigration office. Be sure to have a TM30 on file with Thai Immigration office.
