I need help. My visa on passport has a stamp of application under consideration (i just renewed again for one year, non-b work visa) but there’s no stamp yet when it will expire. I need to go back for it before 7 May. Will it affect my application for getting a certificate of residency at immigration now? I have an appointment at DLT for driver’s license on 29 April. Thanks on who will answer 🙏🏻

Posting my experience getting a certificate of residency in Bangkok, Thailand. Just submitted everything today at Div. 1.

There's a lot of questions on whether you can get one and the answer is yes you absolutely can on a DTV or any other tourist visa provided you have the supporting documents.

There are signs all over the area saying they only provide services for residents of Bangkok.

As for needing a 90 day report? I have no idea. I provided one.

Submitted:

1. Passport photo copies of both the bio page and visa stamp

2. TDAC

3. 90 day report

4. Visa

5. Lease agreement

6. TM30

The process is pretty quick and easy. Was only 6th in the queue and then I had to update my TM30 because of some errors. When I came back at about 10am I was no. 2 in the queue. Doesn't seem like there all that many people getting resident certificates. Maybe I got lucky today.

Was given a receipt and told to come back in a week to pick it up.

Also, it's free now. Maybe because they don't have to cover the shipping costs anymore.

I just went to Immiaration at Nonthabur

Immigration Office they refused to give me a

certificate of residency even thought I had all

the required documents. I was told I need to be

in Thailand for year. The person doesn't know

the law. It was suggested in my previous post on the Bank not wanting to allow me to open a Bank account even though I was on a type O visa had my lease agreement and everything.

I'm vary frustrated at this point.

Immigration in Chiang Mai agreed to supply CoR (certificate of residency) yet not right away. They will send it by mail within 2-3 weeks time. WTF??. Does that sound like the expected response...? its needed for a Non Immigrant O for retirement visa. Bank will not open account without the CoR, so that makes the 800k deposited for 60 days before getting the one year extention very tight in terms of times. and maybe even impossible, concidering international money transfers take few days.

not sure I 'll make it.

any advice of how to get the CoR sooner?

Hey, my 90-day mark on my DTV visa is coming up, so I need to do my 90-day report. I heard the first one has to be in person. Can I send a visa agent to handle it for me? Also, I need a certificate of residency to convert my international driver’s license. Any recommendations for reliable agents in Bangkok? Thanks!
