Q: I am confused about the Certificate of Residence in Thailand. Are there multiple types of this document?

Panwa: Please note that “Certificate of Residence” in Thailand is normally used interchangeably. However, it can refer to different documents in Thailand depending on the context. Hence, a clear breakdown are as:

1. Residence Certificate is an official document issued by the immigration office that verifies your current address of residence.

2. Tax residency certificate is an official document issued by the Revenue Department that confirms you are a tax resident in Thailand for a specific year and used to avoid double taxation in foreign countries.
