Is there someone who recently have applied for Certificate of Residence at Phuket Immigration and could share their info/experience regarding documentation needed?

 

Thanks

All you need is your passport, copies of front page, the house registration slip inside the passport, visa page and arrival slip copy. 4 photocopies total. 

Also a single photo. 

Takes about 15 mins and you're out of there. 

Are they still asking for money or as said they no longer do?

Yes they ask. I paid because I don't like to fuss about.

As I have and would do, I just convince myself it is a service that should have a payment.

Thank you. Only one question regarding "house registration slip" Do you mean "receipt of notification"?

Yes. The slip that's stapled in the  passport.

I actually asked for a receipt and they gave me the money back, they had increased the price from B200 to B300 from my last visit, which made me quiz them? Make sure your house/address registration is up to date.

The following may not apply to Phuket Immigration, but when I applied to Pattaya for a residence cert for opening a bank account, I was refused because they said they needed an embassy letter. The cert for a driving license can still be had with the normal docs. At reception now they make you put the reason for wanting the cert. I have a bank account now because I found a bank to accept me without the immigration letter. 

It may be worth checking if you want the residency cert to open a bank account, could save you a trip.

Too late- this thread is about PHUKET and what happens in Pattaya is completely irrelevant..

Its actually an additional bank account I want to open at the same bank as used for years and when I asked for necessary documentation the bank told me "Certificate of Residence" from Immigration.

Is this an extra savings account with another ATM card by any chance ? At the BKK Bank ? Curious as I was refused another ATM card/account by the Bangkok Bank on lower Sukhumwit today, where I have also had an account for years, one reason being that the supervisor claims there is a new Bank of Thailand rule about one ATM card per foreign customer. Something about preventing money laundering ? First I had ever heard of this "rule" !

But as usual....different bank, different branch, different rules .....you could well be on another planet in Phuket !

???? Another planet, sure and with the pros and cons that involve. I intend to place money on a fixed account as a second option in case there will be more changes regarding income letters for the annual retirement extension so ATM card will not be on the request from me to the actual bank in this case.

Don't get confused with the 90 day notification slip which can be in your passport.

You will need the address registration slip which should be also in your passport.

I think I have it sorted, my last address update in Phuket is only + month long ago due to Christmas /New year in another province where I also did my 90 day report.

I should like here to ask about one of the.....IO who sit with this desk in Phuket, but maybe enough to say "always uniform, great tan and over the top. Anyone else with grudged impression from ..
