What QuickVisa does
QuickVisa provides document review, case preparation and procedural support for Residence Certificate Consulting. The final decision is made by the competent Thai authority.
What a Residence Certificate is
A Certificate of Residence is an Immigration document that confirms a foreigner’s residential address in Thailand at the time of issue. It is not a visa and does not create a right to stay.
It is commonly used for a Thai driving licence, vehicle registration, some bank accounts and other government procedures. The receiving authority may require a recently issued certificate.
The applicant must be in the country lawfully, hold a valid passport and have a TM30 address record. Without TM30 many offices will not issue the certificate. Fees and extra documents vary by Immigration office.
Service process
Initial case review → document checklist → document verification → application preparation → submission/appointment support where applicable → status follow-up.
What we need from the client
The exact checklist is case-specific. We first verify passport/immigration status, the legal basis of the application and supporting evidence required by the responsible authority.
