ORIGINAL POSTER

Does an extension on my current stay invalidate my residence certificate if the exit date on the cert is now different than my new stamp exit date?  Thank you Al and have a great day.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The residence certificate in Thailand is valid for 30 days from the date of issue, and it does not specify an exit date. Extending your stay does not invalidate your residence certificate; however, it is recommended to confirm specific details with immigration authorities if you have additional concerns.

A residence Certificate is only valid for 30 days from date of issue by immigration. It is commonly used for opening bank accounts, buying/selling vehicles, getting a license.

Resident certificates are valid for 30 days from date of issue. There is no exit date on a residence certificate. You need to clarify your question.

I didn't think you needed one to sell a car, only to buy one. They last for 30 days
