I appreciate everyone's comments, it seems that the Chiangmai Immigration do same day certificates so why was I told to go to the 2nd floor I have been waiting nearly a month now, all very confusing. Don't wish to appear ungrateful but know one has actually answered my original question, can a visa agent do this for me but much quicker??
Was this in Chiang mai. I went last month and was told to go up to the second floor to the Certificate of Residence desk, gave the officer everything filled in prepaid envelope and was told it would take 30 days.
I agree, but I may have to hire a car and if they compare passport and license there may be a problem. Iam great believer in stopping potential problems before they become real ones.
