The obligation in plain terms
Section 37(5) of the Immigration Act requires a foreigner permitted to stay temporarily to notify the immigration office of their current address every ninety days. The clock runs from the most recent entry into Thailand or the most recent accepted report, whichever is later. It is a personal duty of the foreigner, not of the employer or the landlord, and it survives changes of visa category.
It is distinct from TM.30, which is the duty of the house owner, possessor or manager to notify immigration that a foreigner is staying at the property. A common misunderstanding is that a completed TM.30 discharges the ninety-day duty. It does not; the two notifications answer different questions and are recorded separately.
Filing channels compared
| Channel | Filing window in practice | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| In person at the immigration office | From 15 days before to 7 days after the due date | Receipt slip is stapled into the passport; keep it for the next cycle |
| Registered post | Send about 15 days ahead to allow transit | Include a stamped return envelope; retain the postal receipt as proof of timely dispatch |
| Online system | Commonly opens 15 days before the due date | Approval is not instant; check the status and fall back to in-person if it is not accepted in time |
| Authorised representative | Same window as in person | Requires a power of attorney and the representative's identification |
What to bring or attach
- Passport with the current visa page, latest entry stamp and extension of stay
- Departure card where one was issued, or the electronic entry record
- Completed TM.47 form signed by the foreigner
- Previous 90-day receipt slip, which speeds up record matching
- Evidence of the current address where it differs from the last notification
Travel resets the clock
Any departure and re-entry restarts the ninety-day count from the new entry date, even for a weekend trip. Travellers frequently report unnecessarily on the old schedule, or, more damagingly, assume an old due date still stands after months abroad. Recording the entry date in the passport at each return and recalculating is the simple discipline that prevents both errors.
Common mistakes and how we avoid them
More questions we are asked
- What if I am late?
- Reports are commonly accepted up to seven days after the due date; beyond that a fine applies, and repeated lateness is noted in the record.
- Do I need to report if I leave before the due date?
- No. Departure ends the current cycle, and the count restarts on your next entry.
- Can my employer file for me?
- An authorised representative may file with a power of attorney and identification, but the legal duty remains the foreigner's.
- Does the report renew my visa?
- No. It is an address notification only and has no effect on permitted stay.
- Which office handles my report?
- The office with jurisdiction over your registered address, which is not always the nearest one geographically.
- Is a report needed while an extension is under consideration?
- Yes. The reporting cycle runs independently of any pending application.

Frequently asked questions
- How does 90-day reporting work and what happens if I miss it?
- Foreigners staying in Thailand on a long-stay permission must report their address to Immigration every 90 days, in person, by post, through an agent or online, within the window from 15 days before to 7 days after the due date. Late reporting carries a fine of THB 2,000, rising to THB 5,000 if you are caught during an arrest, and the counter can only accept the report within the permitted window.
- What is TM30 and who must file it?
- TM30 is the notification of a foreigner's place of stay, and the legal duty falls on the house owner, condominium owner, hotel or landlord to notify Immigration within 24 hours of the foreigner's arrival at the address. Foreigners are affected in practice because Immigration frequently requires a current TM30 receipt before processing extensions, 90-day reports and re-entry permits.
- Can I convert my foreign driving licence to a Thai one?
- Yes — the Department of Land Transport allows conversion of a valid foreign licence with a certificate of residence from Immigration or an embassy letter, a medical certificate, passport and visa copies, and passing the colour, reaction and depth-perception tests. Holders of a licence from a country with a reciprocal arrangement may be exempt from the written and practical tests.
- Can a foreigner own a condominium in Thailand?
- Yes, under the Condominium Act foreigners may own units in freehold up to 49% of the total saleable floor area of the building, and the purchase funds must be remitted into Thailand in foreign currency with a Foreign Exchange Transaction certificate issued by the receiving bank for transfers of USD 50,000 or more. Land ownership remains closed to foreigners other than under BOI or specific statutory exceptions.
