Residence certificate from Chaeng Wattana 

A quick query about obtaining a residence certificate from CW immigration. I know that you now have to apply and then return at a later date to collect. Please does anyone know how long it currently takes before you collect? Do you have to go back on the specific date they say or can you go a bit later if you can't make that day? And finally is there any express service that you can pay for to maybe collect same day or next day? Many thanks

Answer summary

The process of obtaining a residence certificate from Chaeng Wattana requires an application followed by a collection visit on a specified date. Users have reported varying collection times, with some able to collect their certificates as quickly as 30 minutes for a fee, while others managed same-day service through specific contacts. There are questions about flexibility in collection dates and the availability of express services.

Not sure about your area but in Phuket you pay $500 baht and receive about 30 minutes later

Paul McClintock Yes, I was hoping for something similar but I have a feeling that Chaeng Wattana doesn't offer this. Hence my query
