The residence certificate is one of those documents nobody thinks about until something else depends on it. The driving licence office wants it. The bank often wants it. Registering a car or a motorbike in your name needs it.
It is issued by immigration and it depends on your TM30 being correct, which is why we usually deal with both together.
Frequently asked questions
How long is it valid?
It has a short validity window, so it should be obtained close to the moment you actually need it. We time it to your driving licence or bank appointment rather than getting it too early.
Can I use my embassy letter instead?
Some embassies issue an equivalent letter and some offices accept it. Costs and processing times vary a lot between the two routes. We will tell you which is faster and cheaper in your case.
Need one for your driving licence?
We usually bundle the residence certificate with the licence application so the timing works out. Ask us on LINE.
