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.

No later than 7 days after your due date

International travel resets your 90-day clock
Different immigration offices may have varying requirements
Holiday schedules can impact submission timing
FAQs: 90-Day Reporting
1. What happens if I miss the deadline?
There's a fine of 2,000 baht for late reporting. However, with proper planning, we can easily avoid this situation.
2. Do I need to report if I travel internationally?
No - departing Thailand resets your 90-day clock. Your new count begins upon re-entry.
3. Can I report from any immigration office?
Generally yes, though it's best to use the office in your residential jurisdiction.
4. What if I'm sick or unable to report in person?
We can explore online options or, in special cases, arrange for authorized reporting on your behalf.
