TLDR : Answer Summary
The requirement for applying for a certificate of residency in Thailand varies by location. In cities like Bangkok, you must complete a 90-day report, thus necessitating a long-term visa. Conversely, locations such as Phuket and Pattaya may not have this restriction. Additionally, different offices may impose distinct policies; for instance, some may only require a TM30 form instead of a 90-day report.
90 DAY REPORTING RESOURCES / SERVICES
Use the trusted Thailand 90 Day Reporting Service to get your in-person report done and mailed to you for as low as 375 THB (even if the online system doesn't work for you).
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
It depends on the office you are using. Each office has their own policies. For example in Bangkok you can only get a residence certificate (from immigration) if you have already filed a 90 day report. But you can get a residence from your embassy at any time usually.
Some offices like Chiang Mai only require you have a TM30 to get a residence certificate.

Depends where you are. In Bangkok you need to have done a 90 day report - which means you need a long term visa to do so.
Elsewhere like Phuket and Pattaya there is no such restriction.
