What documents are needed for a residency certificate in Thailand when I'm on a southern island and my Muay Thai course is in the north?
Ok so I am looking to get a residency certificate to buy a bike and the immigration center I went to asked me for the usual stuff (tm30, passport, photo) but also for all my dtv docs, meaning bank statements and Muay Thai course. Problem is I am in an island in the south and my Muay Thai course is in the North. What to do?

You’re clearly violating the terms of your visa. Go home anonymous person.

You are part of the reason why people with genuine applications are struggling now or that we might have to provide all the paperwork again in the future. Thank you

it might effect the schools issuing paperwork and not needing people to attend too. Might lose licenses or ability to have DTVs approved. Immigration might start checking attendance or schools to keep records like with Ed.

At the Phuket immigration office for a residence certificate you only need TM30, copy of passport, photo, fill in the form and 500 baht.
I got one last week ✌️

500 Baht? In Bangkok it's 200Alex *******
@Thor****
last year when I got one in Phuket it was 300. Last week when I got one the price is up to 500 ☺️

I think residence certificate might be least of your worries if you get an inquisitive IO at reentry noticing where you live and where your gym is. I am assuming you would not attempt extension down south.

there is another immigration office in another island nearby. Do you reckon i could get my residency certificate in a different island still using my original TM30?Greg ********
Anonymous participant Ask what the requirements are there. It is a local thing so rules can change office to office.

Looks like you are not complying with your visa purpose. Case closed. You made your bed, now sleep in it.

Anonymous participant I don't drink. I'm simply making my own observation, no emotion involved. The OP doesn't appear to be anywhere near or plan to be where their course is. A couple group rules refer to not circumventing visa rules.

I didn't realise you were Gregs wife or you were talking on behalf of 24k people. If you had too many Changs tonight and regretting life choices don't release your frustration on people you don't know life stories and complexities. Why offloading your anger on others? Does that little dopamine high of a post on a Facebook forum really make you feel your hangover less harsh the day after? You won't find answers to your angst by slashing anger online old man. Just log off or ignore if you can't be helpfulAnonymous *************

Anonymous participant my soft power is in the north too, they didn’t ask for that at the 90 day report in BKK
Anonymous ******************
Anonymous participant my friend convinced me I could do a 90 day report online and then I got denied and had to do it in person. I was in Bangkok and got hassled for having a CM address while visiting my BFs family in BKK while doing my 90 day report - the way around was to check into a hotel for one night and have them register a tm 30 and use that address when filing - if you already have a tm 30 in the city where you file your 90 day report in person I wouldn’t worry

OPAnonymous participant 690 thanks that's actually a good work around if I keep having consistent issues with my local immigration and have to go to a different one on another island. Still wondering if they will create issues with my dtv soft power school being in the north while my tm30 / local immigration is in the south

Anonymous participant sounds like you paid for a Muay Thai training course, obtained the DTV visa, and are doing your training via ZOOM video chat with the gym ??? .
Did you obtain the DTV visa... With no intent to do Muay Thai training???
IF your gym is in Chiang Mai, why are you in South Thailand ???
Be prepared for similar questions about your DTV Visa from Thai Immigration Officers.

You don't need the certificate to buy the bike, only to register it.

OP@Wannikea ********
yes i want it registered so that it will be easy to sell when/if I move onWannikea *********
Anonymous participant I guess the big question is why aren't you training at the gym in the north after obtaining a visa to train there?

@Wannikea ********
Spot On ✅ I didn't know one could do Muay Thai training by the use of ZOOM from the comfort of your barstool or cabana on the beach ⛱️.
