90-Day Reporting / TM.47 Assistance

Living in Thailand means understanding and complying with immigration requirements. One of the most regular obligations for long-term residents is the 90-day report, officially known as Form TM.47. Think of it as simply checking in with immigration to confirm your current address - a straightforward process when you understand the requirements.

What Is 90-Day Reporting?

Every foreigner staying in Thailand for more than 90 consecutive days must report their current address to immigration. This requirement applies regardless of your visa type, whether you're here for work, retirement, marriage, or education. Even if you haven't changed addresses, you still need to report.
