What do I need to obtain a Certificate of Residence in Thailand as a freelancer on a DTV visa?
Certificate of Residence
I’m on business owner / freelancer DTV
I want to get the certificate in order to register bike on my name.
Today I went to an immigration office in Koh Phangan with:
- TM30
- Passport copy
- DTV copy
- 4x6 photos
But I’ve got an answer that I need to provide my bank statements and proof of funds again. Even though DTV started couple of weeks ago.
Perhaps I should try Koh samui? I’ve seen posts in this group saying they got it with what I’ve already brought.
These guys at KP has always been angry about everything. Extremely unpleasant to go there.

can you please share the agency?Klaudas ************

I'll share after I get the certificate on Monday as promised. This is my first time trying this agent.Irina ****
Immigration in koh Phangan works by its own rules. Better to visit Samui. But it takes 1 week to get a residence certificate

I used visa agent in Pattaya and I got it the next day 1500 bahtIrina ****

Yes, for money next day in Samui tooGreg ********
That is down to that office. Certainly do not need to show funds etc at other offices. In Chiang Mai for example it is TM30 and copy of visa and entry stamp. The question is can Samui issue one outside where your TM30 is registered? I thought it had to be where that was registered

not sure, let’s see tomorrow how it goes. I’ll post it in the comments

Hope all goes well. I have experience of a few different offices now in different locations. Just need to get to know their little quirks and requirements. I recently registered a bike in Chiang Mai. I just paid the driving school 1200 for the certificate and all paperwork. At least I knew it would work. Good luckActivity
