Certificate of residence with a dtv visa

Bangkok office

Before you go make sure you have the following:

Passport

Copy of passport x2

Copy of entry stamp x2

90 day not required if you’ve not had to do one

E visa printout x2

Copy of lease/ rent agreement

Printout of TM30

฿200 per certificate

All in all a fairly painless process. I originally went down and asked at the information desk as I was needing 4 certificates. (2 for licenses, 1 for transferring a vehicle, and one because the bank asked for it (not a basic savings account)).

Once you’ve got all the relevant documents together and got down to immigration at the government complex it’s a fairly swift process. They’ll check all your documents and give you a receipt and your passport back. It only took about an hour most of that was waiting till my number was called. They’ll said it would be posted to that address and it arrived in 4 days.

TLDR : Answer Summary
To obtain a Certificate of Residence with a DTV visa in Thailand, you need your passport, multiple copies of your passport and entry stamp, a printout of your e-visa, your lease or rental agreement, and a TM30 printout. The process is quick at the immigration office, and you will receive a receipt and your passport back after about an hour. The certificate will be mailed to your address within four days.

Thanks! If I am living with my fiancé, do I get the TM 30 from the website? I used to register my arrival when I come to Bangkok or is that something else that I have to get?

OptimisticSeahorse231 I had to ask the landlord for a copy of the tm30. She sent it as a pdf on line the next day.

I’m not to sure. The landlord has the responsibility to report that a foreigner is residing in one of their properties.

Do you need one to have your name added to a private residence

no. Your rental contract covers that. The tm30 is supplied by your landlord.

ah. I don’t know. This is just the government confirming your residence for official purposes.
