TM.47

What is TM.47? TM.47 is the form used for Thailand’s 90-day reporting requirement. Foreigners staying in Thailand long-term must report their current address to Thai Immigration every 90 days. This is a reporting requirement only and does not extend your visa or permission to stay.

TM.47 (90-Day Report): TM.47 is the 90-day address notification required for foreigners who stay in Thailand long-term (for example on an extension of stay). It is not a visa renewal and it does not extend your stay, its purpose is simply to confirm your current residential address with Thai Immigration.

• When to file: you must report every 90 days of continuous stay in Thailand. The 90-day count usually starts from your most recent entry date or the date your stay was granted/extended.
• If you leave Thailand: the 90-day count typically resets when you re-enter, and you start counting a new 90-day period from that new entry date.
• How to file: depending on the immigration office, you may be able to submit TM.47 in person, by mail, or online (availability can vary by location and system status).
• What you usually need: your passport (or copies of relevant pages), your current address details, and the completed TM.47 form (some offices provide their own checklist).
• Practical tip: keep the acknowledgment slip/confirmation as proof of reporting, and set a reminder—missing the reporting deadline can cause delays or issues at your next immigration visit.

Note: Procedures can vary between immigration offices and can depend on the reviewing officials, so it is wise to confirm local practice where you file your report.

FAQ: Thailand 90-Day Reporting (TM.47)

What is 90-day reporting?

If a foreigner stays in Thailand for more than 90 consecutive days, they must report their current residential address to Thai Immigration every 90 days. This requirement is based on Section 37(5) of the Immigration Act.

Is 90-day reporting the same as a visa extension?

No. A 90-day report is only an address notification. It does not extend your visa or your permission to stay in Thailand.

What form is used for 90-day reporting?

The official form is TM.47, which is the notification form for foreigners staying in Thailand for more than 90 days.

How can I submit a 90-day report?

You can submit it in person at an immigration office, authorize another person to submit it for you, send it by registered mail, or use the official online TM.47 system, subject to the applicable conditions.

Can I do the 90-day report online?

Yes. Thai Immigration provides an official online TM.47 reporting system. Online reporting is available through the Immigration Bureau’s official website.

Online submission is generally available only for subsequent reports and must be completed within the allowed reporting period (usually 15 days before the due date). The first 90-day report often needs to be done in person.

Acceptance depends on the system and your immigration record, and online reporting may not be available in all cases.

When can I file the report?

The report may be filed up to 15 days before the due date or up to 7 days after the due date. If you miss that period, you must report in person and may be fined.

What happens if I leave Thailand?

If you leave Thailand before your next reporting date, the 90-day count starts again from your most recent date of entry into Thailand.

Do I still need to do 90-day reporting if I have a one-year extension based on marriage?

Yes. A one-year extension of stay based on marriage does not remove the 90-day reporting requirement. If you remain in Thailand continuously, you must still report your address every 90 days.
