Will immigration accept a photocopy of the house book for a certificate of residency in Thailand?
Just a quick question. Will immigration accept a photo copy of the house book where I will be staying to get a certificate of residency or will I need to bring the original?..Thanks in advance.
Answer summary
A user inquired whether a photocopy of the house book would be sufficient for obtaining a certificate of residency from Thai immigration. Comments indicate that the local office usually requires the original house book along with the owner's ID, and that they may not accept just a copy. Additionally, some commenters noted the importance of a TM30 form in the residency process.

OPSeems everyone is getting fixated on the TM30. Common knowledge that a TM 30 is needed but is the original house book required when applying for a TM30 to receive certificate of residency when living with a friend.

you have to have a TM30 whether you own your property or not. And you'll still need TM30 for residence certificate
