Oxx Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Does anyone know/can recommend an agent that can get Residence Certificates in Bangkok? I did find one agency that apparently offers this service, but it's not replying to my Line/Facebook messages. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack54 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 (edited) I'm not aware of any agent that can obtain a residence certificate in Bangkok. BTW you obtain them at MTT. 200 baht. Takes couple of weeks, there mail it out to you. You must have previously made a 90 day report.. @ThaiVisaCentre can agents obtain residence certificate at MTT?

ThaiVisaCentre Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 (edited) We do offer this service but it is not done through MTT, and its only for our visa clients. Edited April 2, 2022 by ThaiVisaCentre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a guess but perhaps chap need RC for TDL or whatever Rubbish reply. In other words to the OP , the answer is No BTW what the heck is "visa clients" Perhaps inquiry is about TDL.

I think what TVC meant is that they can offer this service but only for customers who obtained a visa through them. It will not be at MTT since they obtain visas upcountry through their connections. OP, do it yourself, sounds most efficient and not really difficult. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP, you did not indicate reason for residence certificate. I posted above that not possible. TVC (agent) replied that cannot obtain at MTT. You mention age and poor health. Surely RC not for TDL. Reason for residence certificate might assist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoreFarang Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 What is a residence certificate (for Bangkok)? I live here since decades and I don't think I have such thing or need it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also banks can require one to open bank account. Bangkok Bank being one example. There are other reasons.

In above cases it seems until now I showed them a bill with my address or a bank statement and that was all they wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be surprised if you could show a bill as proof of address to obtain a driving license. On the other hand, maybe you have a work permit or a yellow book that might have been accepted instead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that still possible in Bangkok? Vaguely recall it was changed to only residence certificate for TDL was acceptable.

I have to admit I did this the last time a couple of years ago. I have no idea if anything changed. But now I have i.e. also my Thai driver license with my address on it. That seems to do the job in some cases where normally companies ask for my passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have someone else do your extensions for you? If so you may be able to have them do the resident certificate without you going too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKexpat Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I understand you can obtain a residence certificate at MTT. I am planning to do my 90 day report in a few months there and wish to apply for the RC whilst I am there. My reasons for obtaining one are to open a second bank account as they require it, plus I plan to apply for a Tax Identification Number after 6 months of residency as well and I plan to obtain a thai driving license. As this will be my first time at MTT can someone advise if there is a particular counter or area in the building I should go to apply for this please? Also do I need to do an antigen test to get into the building or just proof of vaccination is enough? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKexpat Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Thanks Dr Jack, not sure I understand the they are moving part do you mean MTT immigration is relocating? Tried scrolling through recent threads as haven’t been able to figure out how to search specific items and will just go do the 90 day report at MTT and figure it out when I get there.

Some (like me) often forget that outside Tourist Areas, Agents are often used for physical convenience purposes, not only non- compliance or non- acceptance of direct govt. terms.
