Let Thai Kru file your Thailand 90-day report

What the 90 day report is

The 90 day report is an address notification required under Section 37(5) of the Immigration Act. Any foreigner who stays in Thailand for more than 90 consecutive days must tell immigration where they are living. The form is the TM47, which is why people call it TM47 reporting.

It is an address notification and nothing more. It does not extend your visa. It does not add days to your permission to stay. It does not affect your visa status. Filing your 90 day report does not mean your extension is handled, and a valid extension does not mean your reporting is handled. They are separate obligations with separate dates, and people confuse them constantly.

It applies regardless of visa type. Retirement, marriage, business, DTV, education, dependent, Thailand Privilege members, everybody. If you have been here 90 days without leaving, you report.

When it is due

Your first report is due on the 90th day of your continuous stay in Thailand. After that the cycle repeats every 90 days.

You can file from 15 days before the due date until 7 days after it. Filing inside that window carries no penalty. Filing early does not move your next date. The next 90 days are counted from the original due date, not from the day you actually filed, so there is no advantage to waiting and no penalty for going early.

Leaving Thailand resets the clock. If you fly out and come back, your 90 days start again from the new entry date, and the old due date is gone. Travel inside Thailand changes nothing. A weekend in Chiang Mai does not reset anything. Many long stay expats who travel abroad twice a year only file once or twice.

What happens if you miss it

Filing more than 7 days after the due date carries a fine of 2,000 baht. The fine is fixed. It does not grow the longer you wait, so a report that is three months late costs the same as one that is eight days late. Late reports cannot be filed online and must be submitted in person.

If immigration finds the missing report before you report it, at a checkpoint or during an extension application, the amount goes up, commonly to 4,000 or 5,000 baht, and the officer is now looking at your compliance history at the exact moment you need something from them. This is the real cost of a missed report. It is not the money.

How the report can be filed

Online

The immigration portal accepts reports from 15 days before the due date. It is free and takes a few minutes when it works. It requires an account tied to your current passport, it is unavailable for late reports, and it goes down often enough that you should never leave it to the last day. Rejections arrive by email, sometimes after your window has closed.

In person

You go to the immigration office covering your registered address with your passport, copies of the relevant pages, and the TM47 form. This always works, and for a late report it is the only option. The cost is your morning, and at Chaeng Wattana it can be most of a day in high season.

By registered mail

You post the completed form and copies at least 15 days before the due date and wait for the receipt slip to come back. It is workable but slow, and you have no confirmation until the envelope returns.

Through us

You send us your details once. We file the report inside the window by whichever method the office and your situation require, and we send you the receipt slip that proves it was recorded. If the online system rejects the filing, we go to the office. That is the difference between an agent and a reminder: the responsibility to get it done sits with us.
