After 90 days do we have to file a TM 47 even if we just stayed at a hotel and the hotel filed a TM 30?

I thought staying in a hotel for a night rather than my condo (where I have lived for the past four years) gives me another 90 days, assuming the hotel filed the paperwork stating I was staying at their property.
Answer summary
When staying in Thailand for 90 days, a TM47 form must be filed regardless of whether the individual stays in a hotel or a residence. The filing of the TM30 by the hotel only notifies immigration of the foreign stay at their location. Therefore, continual residence in Thailand necessitates a TM47 submission every 90 days, and the address used on the TM47 must match the current location of the individual.

Nope. Only leaving and re-entering the country does that.

Always fun when people use the number that Immigration gave the applications.

TM30 : a from used for notification where the foreigner has stayed.

TM47 : a form used to notify that the foreigner stayed longer than 90 days inside the Kingdom

Yes, you do need an address to register that you lived on an address while being inside Thailand.

So first step is to make sure your CURRENT address is registered at the local Immigration Office, by using the TM30 form or on-line (make a print) AND IF you are 90 days consecutive inside Thailand, day of arrival is day number 1, you report this at the same local Immigration Office using the TM47 form.

IF you want to do the 90 day report (TM47) on-line you have to be sure that you use the same address as the last address which is registered at the Immigration Office.

for example: you visit another town, the hotel make a new address registration and you use the hotels address NOT the address you normally reside and call home.

I’m at a hotel right now, on my 86th day since my last arrival. So the hotel files the TM30 with the hotel’s address and next week I do the 47 online using the hotel’s address. Correct?

umm, you can do a 90 day report online from 2 weeks before the due date down until the due date,

BUT

with the recent changes you file your first 90 day report after comin' back from abroad in person. So be ready for it to be denied online

Thank you. And should I use my home address or the hotel’s?

No. 90 days report is to report that you are staying in THAILAND continuously for 90 days, not at the exact same address.

You have to do a 90-day report every 90 days as long as you are in Thailand, not leaving Thailand, regardless of address, such as hotel, or guest house.

and YOU have to do it, not like a TM30 that is done by hotel or property owner.

I do my tm30 every time for my wife - have done that for years. It's not only for hotel or property owners - although it said that as far as I remember - when I registered

When I tried to do it online before it was rejected because my address (my real address) wasn’t the same as what a hotel had apparently told them a few weeks prior.

if you travel with a stay at a legit hotel/guest house, you have to update your TM30 record so that you can do the next 90 days report correctly.

Technically or logically, many immigration offices don't require you to update TM30 after domestic travel, still, you better do it as the systems check the address anyway.
