What documents do I need to obtain a certificate of residency at immigration in Bangkok if I haven't done 90-day reports?

Yellow book can be a lease or affidavit of residence if you live with your girlfriend.

Pretty easy. Just bring enough copies and I always bring a pouch of all my docs in case they ask for something weird which they haven’t

Can I open a Thai bank account on a tourist visa without a certified passport copy?

David **********

Certified Copy not needed. Opening a bank account on 60 day tourist Visa? Not gonna happen.

I originally came to Thailand on a Non-O 90 day visa. Could not get y bank to touch me until my Thai girlfriend came with me and told them we were married.

No proof, no additional questions no nothing.

Is it necessary to lodge a TM30 when returning to Thailand with a married to Thai citizen visa?

David **********

I’d say No. I’ve left the country and come back a couple of times not refiling a new TM30. I even changed VISA types twice.

Immigration uses the original TM30 every time and I haven’t had a problem. It’s still remains stapled to my VISA book.
