Could anyone advise: I want to sell a bike to an individual and then buy a new one thru the bike shop. Do I need two separate residence certificates? One for selling and another one for buying? Is one not enough- and use a copy?
Would anyone know the agents that could do RC for a reasonable price- especially if I need two.

I have my 2nd 90-day Check-in that is due today (12/09/2025). I 1st applied online 12/02 and it was rejected 12/03 without a reason. I assumed the address was not correct, so I applied again on 12/04 but as of this morning (12/09) the status is still "Pending" Should I just physically go to Immigration? Since the second application is still "Pending" Or could that mean that it might be in the process of being approved? Also, am I correct that I have 7 days after the "due" date to update? Thanks in advance!!
I know that people who use an agency for the visa sometimes get slated and told it's a waste of money and so easy to do yourself, but if you are someone who is looking for that, I used A&S Visa Services AllSabaai Thai and they were first class. I flew into Hanoi on Saturday and my visa was approved yesterday! I honestly expected to be here at least a week (booked two weeks) so to have the visa already is awesome. Sent the agency my arrival stamp when I landed at 1am on the 6th and got my approval email at 6pm last night (Dec 8th). Any questions, fire away. Will be happy to answer.
Has anyone experienced having their bank account transfered an amount that completes the required 12kUSD less than 3 months before applying? Any issues? (thinking on applying from Vietnam or HK)
Hi got my 3 month O marriage visa last week. have an account in bangkok bank from before. Am very happy with it everything has worked well for me but i have read that many have problems should i still open in another bank to get the visa renewed after 3 months
Good Morning quick question about 90 days Report and my passport.
I‘m on a DTV at phuket , during the Heavy rain my passport got wet and all the Stamps are unclear accept the DTV stamp😅 but we re in Thailand so i‘m unsure if I can get a problem with moving in or out the Country. I guess a need a new one but until i receive it, I have to do the 90 days report or so-called TM 47.
I wanna go to the immigration in person just because this is the first time since I’m back.
So my questions would be what documents do I need for the 90 days report? Do they charge money for it? Is my passport specifically for the 90 days report necessary or can I use an older picture of it?
How high do you think the chances are to get the DTV going via the worcation route if the company (LLC) has just been founded and has not produced any income yet?
And what should be stated in the application?
Business is starting anew and I had no income in the last year. Lived off my savings and have a few times more than the required funds to prove.
I'd prefer to take the realistic route via the worcation option as that's what's going to be my income and reality for the next years, rather than a soft power route, which would feel more like a setup just to get the visa.
