Residential immigration certificate

Do you need copy off you accomadation lease agreement

Do they give to you that day or do you need to go back and pick up
Answer summary
To obtain a Residential Immigration Certificate in Thailand, you need to visit the immigration office relevant to your area. An appointment is generally not necessary, but it's important to bring your lease agreement and proof that your accommodation has filed a TM30 for you. While processing times can vary by location, in cities like Bangkok and Jomtien, you may receive the certificate the same day if you go in the morning. Other offices may require you to return for pickup after a few days. Different immigration offices have slightly different requirements, so be prepared for variations.

Yes you have to go to immigration, yes you need your lease and no you don't need an appointment. You can get it in a few days or pay extra to get it same day. But as stated each immigration office may have some different requirements

Your accommodation needs to have filed a TM30 for you. Whether they want to see a lease will vary by office as will the time it takes, some will give immediately and some will take a few days

In Jomtien you can walk in no appointment needed.

You need your lease agreement and you will get the certificate the same day if you go in the morning.
