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.
