Getting residence certificate at One Stop Service Center - Chamchuri Square in 2025

[akda]

Today I got my residence certificate for purpose of driving license at One Stop Service Center Chamchuri Square.

 

Here is the whole process.

 

Eligibility: Apparently if your visa issued at Chamchuri Square. In my case it was BOI visa. Then you can ask for resident certificate here. I'm not sure about others.

 

Documents Needed:

1. Original passport

2. Copy of passport front page, visa page and last entry page

3. Filled Residence certificate form

4. Print of TM 30 PDF 

 

Steps: 

1. Go to information counter

2. Handover your original passport along with above documents.

3. Officer will check and give you a token number. Then go to counter 10.

4. At counter 10. The officer will check documents.  Officer will give you appointment slip to come collect residence certificate after 2 weeks.

 

Fee: Free ( Yes, there is no fee. if you paid 500 thb in past. It was indirect bribe/corruption to get it in 1 hour.)

 

Time: If all documents are in order you will spend less then 10 minutes.

 

Collection: 2 weeks. Officer will give you a slip with a date mentioned. you need to come again on the mentioned date to collect resident certificate. I think for collection you can send anyone along with your original passport and date slip to collect the resident certificate.

 

Ending note: 

1. Residence certificate is free and there is no charge.

2. They do not issue residence certificate in 1 hour now-a-days. It take 2 weeks.

3. For both submission and collection original passport is must.

 

Misc:

1. You can print your docs at one of counter. 5 THB per page.

2. There is a copy center too. 

3. In Chamchuri Square, there is a shop near Daiso on 2nd floor which can take photo, copy and printing services.

4. Chamchuri Square is dead. Many shops are closed.

You left out the part that IF you do not use Cham Churi Square for your visa/extension you can't use that office for a certificate of residence 😞

Actually the "fee" has gone up.  It's now 800 baht if you have an LTR or 1300 baht if not.  Of course if you have the time to wait for it in the mail, it will continue to be free.
