What is the process to obtain a certificate of residency from the immigration office in Thailand to open a bank account?

I paid 300 baht for my last residence certificate and it took 30 min. That's ok in my book.

mine took 25 minutes, it only took that long because they'd never seen an online generated TM30 before ;)

good luck. I’d suggest seeing if you can do the yellow housebook first. When I tried to open an account with both Kasikorn and Siam Bank both wanted yellow book. That was in the Phitsanulok/Phetchabun area. As you’ll get told every place is different. If you’re on a Non O marriage that’s should be easy to get bank account without Yellow book though. In the end I had to go to Krungthai. Some banks will have an issue with your initial visa only being 90 days. As you’ll soon find each branch may interpret the rules differently and ask for extra documentation

If all your ducks are lined up it should only take two days and a lot of patience haha. In nearly all places the staff are very very helpful.
