Do I need to complete a 90-day report to obtain a Certificate of Residence from Thai Immigration?

how did you do that??

Just went today at promada. Tourist visa. Month by month contract. 500 baht pick up monday. 2 paaport photos. Next bank account.chiang Mai.. took 10 minutes.

90 day reports by post is 15 before

A resident certificate is no use issued from say Jomtien Immigration if you wanted to use it in Bangkok. They can only be used in the province they are issued in.

Unfortunately that's the truth. I needed it for the driving license. Fortunately I could get a certificate from my embassy.

What do you need it for? Depending on that you could also get it from another immigration just with a hotel address. E.g. in Pattaya, Jomtien, Hua Hin you can book a hotel room, make sure that they register you, get their business card and a confirmation about your stay and head to immigration there. My dad got the certificate in Hua Hin on a tourist visa in 10 minutes after he supplied them with all the documents. He needed it to open a bank account.

Just to add to Tods post. You have to wait and receive it by post too unless it's recently changed. They was also saying you need to wait up to 4 weeks to receive it.

Bangkok immigrations will only issue a certificate of residence to people who are on extensions of stays that require 90 day reporting AND you have to at least have done one :/

Your only option would be to get the residence certificate from your consulate, or wait until you do a 90 day report, which you can do 15 days before down until 7 days after your due date.

I just got a C or R on a visa waiver. This is in Chiang Mai. Passport, lease, TM30, photos.
