Hi, after some advice on Residence certificate: I have my Retirement visa and a multiple entry visa both valid until 26 January 2026, I travelled back to the UK before my 1st 90 day reporting was necessary to sort some things out in the UK and I will be returning 28 February i.e. end of this month. I am reading that to apply for my residence cert I need to have stayed for 90 days and done my 1st 90 day report if I apply for it at Division 1 or go to the British Embassy for an affirmation letter of my residence, which I have also read that they no longer do 🤷 I have a 12 month lease agreement and an online registered TM30 from my landlord, so my question is what is the best way forward with out having to wait 90 days to do a report when I will be travelling to Bali for an 8 day holiday and that will reset the 90 day reporting clock back to zero any help would be greatly appreciated
Answer summary
The user, holding a retirement visa and a multiple entry visa valid until January 2026, seeks advice on applying for a residence certificate while facing a potential delay due to 90-day reporting requirements. They plan to return to Thailand shortly but will travel to Bali, which may reset their reporting clock. A comment indicates that the 90-day report is no longer necessary for obtaining a residence certificate in Bangkok.

99% of people don't have one. If you don't have one it's not required.
