Thailand 90-Day Reporting Guide and Online TM.47

Thailand's 90-day report is an address notification for foreigners who remain in the country long enough for the rule to apply. It does not extend your stay and does not replace the date Immigration has permitted you to remain.

Rules checked: 3 September 2026. Immigration's online service uses TM.47 and currently accepts an online request in the 15 days before the next due date. An online submission is not complete until Immigration approves it and issues the receipt.

Who needs to report

The ordinary rule applies to many foreigners staying in Thailand for more than 90 consecutive days. Specialist programmes can use different reporting intervals. BOI currently gives SMART and LTR holders annual reporting arrangements under their programme rules.

Check the condition attached to your status. A visa's long validity does not by itself remove address reporting.

Ways to submit

Depending on the case and office, reporting can be available:

through the official online TM.47 system
in person at the responsible Immigration office
by an authorised person
by registered mail where the office accepts it

Use the office responsible for your current address and follow its published method.

Online reporting

The official portal requires registration and a new TM.47 application. Immigration says to submit within the online advance window and normally sends the decision by email.

After submitting:

Check that the application shows as pending.
Watch the registered email account.
Download the approved receipt.
Keep the receipt and note the next due date.
If rejected, contact the nearest Immigration office promptly.

A confirmation that the form was sent is not the approved receipt.

90 days is not your visa date

You may have several different dates:

the visa's use-by date
the permitted-until date for the current stay
an extension application or under-consideration date
the 90-day reporting due date
a work permit expiry date

Put them in a calendar separately. Thailand is not interested in how reasonable it felt to assume they were all the same.

Address changes and travel

An address change, departure and new entry can affect the reporting record and due date. Use the latest receipt and ask Immigration when the correct date is unclear.

Accommodation reporting by a landlord or hotel under TM.30 is a different process. Do not assume one notification automatically completes the other.

Common mistakes

Treating a report as an extension.
Assuming an online submission was approved without checking.
Using an old address or passport record.
Counting from the visa issue date.
Ignoring a rejected online application.
Assuming a landlord's TM.30 is your TM.47.
