ORIGINAL POSTERI just did my first 90 day report in Ubon Ratchathani and I was completed in 5 minutes. I handed my completed TM47 and passport to first desk, they told me to go to the next officers desk. They checked passport and stamped a receipt for 90 days. There was NO CHARGE for this. I took a heap of documents with me but didn’t require anything else.
Ubon Ratchathani Immigration is the best. They made this very simple.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The process of completing a 90-day report in Thailand appears to be straightforward and efficient, particularly at the Ubon Ratchathani Immigration office. Expats have shared experiences indicating that only the TM47 form and a passport are typically needed, with no charges for the process. Many users noted that the reporting can be done quickly, and some even mentioned the option to complete subsequent reports online. Overall, while experiences may vary by location, many find the process friendly and hassle-free.

You have to do it every 180 days actually because after next 90 days you have to leave the country and the period will be reset

90 day reports have always free and only take a few minutes. Longer if there is a queue. Even better when done online.

They never charge you anything to do 90 day. And next one you can do online, no need to waste time on immigration
Colin **********
I have the TM47 filled in on my pc, I change the date each time print it out sign it. Go to my local office give them the form and passport. Job done. There was no one there last time. I just sat down and it was done. Maybe 3 or so minutes.

@Colin *********
well don't teach worthless habbits for others, I bet 99,99% wants to do it without going to immigration. But yeah you can do you absolutelyColin **********
I Know Almost Everything its ok. I'm electronic engineer who worked for Sony so I have high tech coming out my ears. So now a days I try and have a balance because I think manufacturers develop products that are unnecessary. So i limit my technology involvement at times. I saw the perfect example of crazy technology fridges that yiu have to connect to the web to get all its features. Unnecessary and unbelievable

This is the exact experience I've had every time at both Chiang Mai immigration offices
Alfred ******
This is just what I have come to expect. Having been here for seven years now, and lived in four different areas, I have found that each office may require different documents, but nothing other than that listed in the Immigration website. They have each been ultra efficient, friendly and helpful. Sadly, I am aware that some places do not display these attributes, and rely largely upon the unscrupulous behaviour of agents to enhance their wages and extort ‘The Farang’. Luckily I have not encountered any of these circumstances.
David ********
ORIGINAL POSTERAll I’m saying is the office in Ubon is very efficient and has this process streamlined.They only required the TM47 and my passport.
Have a great day in Thailand everyone 😀
