Heads up friends: Certificate of Residency

First, they no longer issue these at Changwattana. You must now go to Muang Thong Thani. I found this out the hard way. :)

And do not research the internet (as I did) for the list of requirements for this certificate. Here's what you need:

Fill out a simple form that they give you there.

Bring your Passport

Bring signed copies of:

- picture page of passport

- copy of last arrival page

- copy of last extension page

- copy of TM.6

- copy of 90 day receipt sheet

- 200 baht

They will send the certificate of residency to your home in about 2 weeks.

Hope this is helpful.

Ummm, they've been at Muang Thong Thani since JULY of last year :O

AND

just in case people don't know IF you're not on a visa/extension where you do 90 day reporting (and have done at least one) you can't get a certificate of residence from Bangkok Immigrations. ;)

Glad you got sorted, sorry you got mixed up on where to go and good thing those two places aren't at opposite ends of Bangkok from each other :)

Thx. In the end it was quite easy. I made the mistake of following some info on various sites such as copies of rental contracts, passport photos, etc. It was all nonsense. I should have come to this reliable site first. :)

I was there a few weeks ago

@Jo**

and all they seem to care about is that you have filed a 90 day report using the address you're requesting the certificate of residence from :O
