Update here: This morning with an agent (costing 3000 baht) who said she could get Residence Certificate at CW without 90 day report (I never stay over 50 days without leaving).... and in the end.....she also couldn't. So what a waste of time. I feel ELITE visa is not so ELITE at the moment lol, such stupid rule and ONLY in Bangkok. So.....tmr I go to another city and will get it there. Will also do my driving license there. I'm told that in 2 days from now I will have both driving license in hand and I can finally buy a car with the other residence certificate. Bottom line: Forget about CW in BKK for now for Residence Certificate if you have no 90 day report from the past.

I agree, no point of comparing. But I will register with a friend in Hua Hin then this week, I just need to get it done, one way or another. Thx for the info here guys!

Well that sucks and is pretty stupid, right? As we are reading also here on the forum, Phuket no problems and I know many cities in Thailand do not require this. Guess I'm going to Hua Hin then tmr evening to arrange it there!

Yeah sure, I have the TM30 from the landlord registering that I live here.

So there is absolutely no way around this 90 day reporting thing in Bangkok? I have a 5 year visa (part of Elite 20 years), but will never stay 90 days.

I hear many people say that about CW, that you need a 90 day report first. It's not logical at all to me honestly and I know its not the case in Hua Hin and Phuket. My situation: Staying long term in an hotel, got TM30 from them, got a 20 year Thai Elite Visa. Because I work outside of Thailand, I travel every month 1 time at least, I will never do 90 day reporting, as I never stay 90 days. So that would mean I can never get a residence certificate to get a driving license, buy a car/motorbike basically, I find that weird. One way or another, I will try to fix something. Tomorrow I'm going to try to get a residence certificate somewhere, Watthana or CW. Let's see what happens. Need it to convert my driver license.
