Just wanted to share that I successfully got the Residential Certificate today at the Chaeng Wattana Immigration Office. I have a DTV. I brought them my TM-30 that my landlord gave me a week after I moved in; a copy of the info page of my passport; a copy of my visa and entry stamp, and that’s it. I checked the boxes for wanting to get a drivers license and buying a car and so they charged 400 baht which I paid right there in cash. They gave me a little slip as receipt and said it would reach me in seven days by post. Also, I’ve only been here for 42 days so the 90 day requirement/report was not necessary there. Hope this helps

Good morning everyone. I’m on dtv and luckily have a bank account with Bangkok Bank since 2018. unfortunately my home branch is in a town in isaan and i live in Bangkok now. So i thought i give it a try and just went into a random branch. Of course, they didn’t find DTV on the list but after some calls she said can open just need letter embassy. Does anyone know what this might be

Update a few hours later: I got a call back from a bank employee. She said just show something with a stamp from the embassy with my name on it. She was pretty honest and said bring documents they don’t even ask for. Like driving licenses, rental contracts. After a few minutes of looking at paperwork, they might just open the account. She agreed that their rules are somewhat weird and confusing and I shouldn’t just try again 😂

Update 2: the embassy sent me instructions how to order a Staatsangehörigkeits- und Anmeldebestätigung ( english: proof of citizenship and registration as swiss living in Thailand) from the ministry of foreign affairs online which i ordered now and will receive by post. I will ask them for permission to post it here to show you all as an example

I have a friend moving to Thailand next month. He's 80 and would be coming to get his non-O retirement visa. I've done this before so I know the ropes...

The question is - if he stays with me and shares in my apartment - which I am on contract for - can he still get into a bank if they require proof of lease or TM30 or something like that?

Advice wanted, I will arrive in Thailand on a DTV in December and will be staying at a friends house for a few months, do I register this at the local immigration and would I need something from the owner to confirm I’m staying there. I will be staying free so I don’t have a rental contract or anything.

Also I need to leave the country in February and then March for work a few weeks at a time. Do I need to register each time I return or just inform them when I’m leaving for the rest of the year in april

thanks in advance for the help

We are moving to Thailand end of November start of December then i want to apply for a NON-O visa.

I'm over 50 and married to a Thai wife and we have a house in Don Muang yet i'm not yet registered at this address.

So i asked the Dutch Embassy for Visa Support Letter for registration and my question is can i use

this letter as affidavit of proof of income as this visa support letter will state my nationality and my income and that way i not need to deposit 800K THB.

thanks for any advice in advance

Has anyone applied for the Tourist Visa Extension online? I'm trying to do that now, but it's asking for a Passport Cover Page. What is that? Also, for the TM30, the owner of the condo registered us, so I just need the proof from them and to upload that, correct?

I need some guidance. (American Citizen)

- I arrived to Thailand by way of a 60 day e-Visa in April.

- I visited immigration once in person to extend this an additional 30 days.

- After 30 days, I did a border run and re-entered on a 60 day stamp, which is soon coming to expiration.

It's now time to extend again, but I am confused. I have been told that I can just go to immigration and they'll extend for an extra 30 days. I've also been told that I need to leave and return?

Can someone clarify? It's near impossible to search the rules now when half the results are related to DTV or changing land border crossing rules for Laos, etc.

I just want to know what I need to do to legally stay at least an extra 30 days. After that time I'll likely ramble on somewhere else.

Just an update on Chiang Khong. I just came back through. This was my 3rd land entry this calendar year. And second Chiang Khong crossing in a row. Last one was 30 days. This was 60.

It's now 1 night instead of 2. Laos still took 2000 THB for the VOA.

Thai immigration gave a document showing requirements to come back the next day.

10,000 THB, outbound flight to country of origin, and proof of accommodation in Thailand for duration of stay.

They didn't ask to see the 10k baht on the way back in. But he did take 5 minutes examining the plane ticket screenshot and was on his computer verifying it's legitimacy.

I showed my TM30 as proof of stay. He didn't pay much attention to it.

Make sure you have your plane ticket.

Hey I been in Thailand like 3 months already can I always just leave and come back to Thailand instead of applying for 6 months school visa ? What’s the max amount of days you can stay in Thailand per year

Tourist Visa Extension Report. Jomtien Immigration. Arrived at 8.30 am and I was out at 9am. It took 30 minutes and it wasn't busy.

Needed passport photo, TM7 form filled out, TM30 docket plus photo copy of it, passport, passport bio page copy, visa copy and entry stamp copy.

I didn't really know where to go but went to the building on the right and was directly pointed to the new middle building where they did document checking. Passed that and was directed to main building counter one, handed over passport and papers and the 1900 baht and was told to take a seat and wait until processed. Took about 25 minutes guy calls my number and it was all done. Cost 1900 baht. You can do it yourself, all good.
