ORIGINAL POSTER
I am getting conflicting information on the internet so I would like to hear from those who know. I will be entering Thailand on Saturday with an OA visa and will not be able to reach the island where I will be living until Tuesday. I understand that within 24 hours I must report to the immigration office in the area where I live to file the TM 30 form. Other information specifies that I must file the TM 47 form up to 7 days before the 90 days expire. How exactly should I proceed? Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary
Upon entering Thailand with an OA visa, you need to have your landlord report your stay using the TM 30 form within 24 hours of arrival. After reaching your residence, ensure the report is filed, especially if you change locations. The 90-day reporting is separate and requires you to file a TM 47 form either in person at the immigration office or online, depending on your timeline. You can report in person between 14 days before and up to 7 days after the 90-day expiration date, so plan accordingly.
90 DAY REPORTING RESOURCES / SERVICES
  • Use the trusted Thailand 90 Day Reporting Service to get your in-person report done and mailed to you for as low as 375 THB (even if the online system doesn't work for you).
  • For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.

No worries, wherever you are staying will file a TM30, once you get to your home you get your landlord/self to file. The most recent always supercedes the previous. Your first 90 day report will always be in person at your local immigration office, you have 14 days before and up to 7 days after the due date to appear in person. Subsequent filings can be done online if you stay 90 consecutive days. You can file online between 14 and 7 days before the due date. From 6 days before till 7 days after you must go in person.

The owner of the property must report you within 24 hours to immigration. If you stay in a hotel they file a tm30 move to a new location new tm30, etc.

90day reporting is a separate form. They may want a copy of your most recent tm30 to prove you have been registered where you are staying. Be careful if to make sure the 90 report is filled out with the location of your most recent tm30 or the system may flag it.
