TLDR : Answer Summary
To obtain a residency certificate in Bangkok quickly, consider paying an agent around 1000 baht for expedited service, which may allow you to receive the certificate within an hour. Ensure your Airbnb property owner has completed the TM30 form, as this form is essential for the application. Note that with upcoming holidays, visiting immigration as soon as possible is advisable to avoid delays.

You apply at CW and they post it to the address on your TM30 within 7 days.

I’m not sure that’s there is a quicker option there.

you can pay 1000 baht and get it in an hour. Or at least you could 2 years ago when I did it.

the people that issue the certificate.

When you go in to immigration and tell them you need a residence certificate they’ll direct you to the office/desk. When they say they’ll post it to you in a week I simply said is there an option to get it faster. They told me 1000 baht and one hour. I waited and paid her directly when she finished.
