ORIGINAL POSTER

Is it possible to get a Thai residence certificate less than 90 days after re-entry? I'm on a 5 year Elite visa. I've been here for a year, and already done a few 90 day reports, but I've recently re-entered. I need a residence certificate so I can renew my Thai driver's license, and everything I'm reading says I need a 90 day report after my most recent entry in order to get a residence certificate. It seems a bit silly that I have to wait 90 days to be able to renew my drivers license just because I recently left the country and came back. Is there any way around the 90 day report requirement for getting a residence certificate to renew my drivers license? I'm on Koh Phangan.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking clarification on whether they can obtain a Thai residence certificate less than 90 days after re-entering Thailand on a 5-year Elite visa, especially for the purpose of renewing their driver's license. They note having completed previous 90-day reports but question the necessity of another report just to acquire the residence certificate. Several comments suggest that requirements may vary by province, with some indicating that certain immigration offices do not require the 90-day report for issuing residence certificates.

Bangkok was the only office requiring the 90 days and they no longer have that requirement.
