Where can I process my residency card application in Thailand?
Not quite a Visa question, but still related..
I have everything I need to get a residency card, (I even found the application form online - hooray!), but where do I TAKE it all to be processed?
Thanks everyone. =)

In Bangkok at the immigration office they're 200 baht and they mail it to you in about 2 weeks.

Supposed to be free BUT, you'll pay 500 baht for it for next day turnaround (at least in CM you do). You'll also need a photo, passport (and copies) and bring a lease if you have one. There is typically a little shop that will do all this for you at immigration for the usual fees ;).

OPOf course they did...! *facepalm

the down side is the Oz consulate here in Bangkok raised their notary service prices from 600 baht to I think 1450 baht or something astronomically high now.

Some immigration offices won't issue a certificate of residence unless you are on a long term extension of stay :/ I know bangkok won't issue them to people on 30 day visa exempt stamps or tourist visas

OPNo, I meant certificate of residency.. so I can get a Thai license, open a bank account, register a car, etc.

@Chris******
, correct., driver's license, selling a vehicle, etc, all the things the immigration office letter works for a notarized stat dec from your consulate works for too.Christopher **************
OP@Tod ********
- Are you saying that if I get a stat dec from Bangkok, it works IN PLACE of a residency certificate for everything?Tod *********
@Pa**
, that is not correct, :/ australians can go to their consulate here in Bangkok and get a Statutory Declaration (Stat dec) where they write down they live here and put their address. It's accepted as proof of address for everythingPaul *******
@Tod ********
Antonio is right, he is Australian like me and will only get one from Immigration.Tod *********
Antonio, you can get a certificate of residence from your country's consulate here in thailand. The US embassy charges $50USD to issue one. Most consulates here offer them
