90-Day Reporting in Thailand (2026)
Updated 17 July 2026 · Confirm current procedure with your local immigration office
Most foreigners on a long-stay visa must tell Thai Immigration where they live every 90 days. It is a simple address notification — not a visa renewal — but missing it carries a fine, so here is how it works.
What 90-day reporting is
The 90-day report (form TM.47) notifies the Immigration Bureau of your current address. It applies to a continuous stay — every time you leave and re-enter Thailand, the 90-day clock restarts, and you report again 90 days after that entry.
When and how to file
File within the window of 15 days before to 7 days after your 90-day date, online, in person, or by post depending on your office. Keep the receipt slip — you may be asked for it at your next report or extension.
Late 90-day reports attract a fine. If you travel often you may rarely hit the 90-day mark, but a continuous stay makes it your responsibility to track.
Which visas are exempt
LTR visa holders report once a year instead of every 90 days — one of the LTR's practical advantages. See the LTR guide. DTV and retirement holders staying continuously are not exempt.
Frequently asked questions
Who has to do 90-day reporting?
Foreigners who remain in Thailand for 90 continuous days or more on a long-stay visa such as the DTV, retirement or Non-Immigrant visas. Leaving and re-entering Thailand resets the 90-day count.
Are any visas exempt from 90-day reporting?
Yes. LTR visa holders report annually rather than every 90 days. The Thailand Privilege programme also handles reporting through its concierge service.
Can I do 90-day reporting online?
Online filing is available for many cases through the Immigration Bureau, though some travellers still report in person or by mail. The reporting window runs from 15 days before to 7 days after the due date.
