yeah lawyer is def looking like the way to go in regards to getting the actual, real info. Gonna have to break down and talk to one! 🙂

@Benjamin *****

Does “capital required” = fees you have to pay? I was under the impression you just needed to show that you had the capital. But I could totally be wrong.

Kelcie Lazarev I’ve checked into that treaty as well, been curious about it. I don’t see many people mentioning it. What’s stopping you from moving forward with it? Just looked it up and seems fairly straight forward. I should do this as well!

Iglu requires you to pay a minimum of $750 per month, FYI. But I don’t know any other similar options...

@Chris ********

no problem. I needed my latest TM30 form (you can register/get that at the same office), 2 pictures and photocopies of my passport and current entry slip. You can do the photocopies and photos there at immigration. I just spoke with the people at counter number 1, it’s where I was directed by the people at the information counter. I believe the expedited service is available all day, they said they sign the certificates at 5pm. Ready for pickup starting at 5:30pm. Hope this helps 🙂

This is directly through the immigration office, at the new building back by Airport plaza.

UPDATE: it’s now possible to get residence certificate same day, pickup at 5:30pm. Charge is 1000 baht. The old service of picking up next day is still available, pickup at 5:30pm, charge is 500 baht. I presume the “free” one is still available if you want to wait 2 weeks, but I didn’t ask.

Naw I need it by tomorrow

ahhhh wow ok! Didn’t know that changed 🙂 Thank you for the updated info!

You will only get 15 days if you go to Mae Sai or cross any border via land. You need to fly out / back to get 30 days (which can be extended for another 30, for a total of 60 days).
