What are the requirements to obtain a residence certificate in Thailand?
Hello members, for a residence certificate what is required?
Answer summary
The requirements for obtaining a residence certificate in Thailand vary by location and immigration office. In Bangkok, one can acquire a residence certificate if they are on a type of extension of stay that includes 90-day reporting. The process involves paying a fee of 200 baht, and the certificate will be mailed within two weeks. For those not eligible under this extension, the certificate can be obtained from their consulate. Additionally, procedures and potential fees can differ significantly between immigration offices, so it's essential to check with the local office for specific details.

Different immigration offices have different procedures to get a residence certificate. Some give them for free, some charge you, some give receipts for the "fee" some don't.
Check with your particular immigration office to know what's what..

In Bangkok you can get a residence certificate from the immigration office ONLY if you are on an extension of stay that does 90 day reporting. If you are on that type of extension and in Bangkok they charge 200 baht and mail the certificate to you in 2 weeks.
If you're not you can get one from your consulate only.
In other areas the immigration office is not so hard core about issuing them.
