What are the rules and procedures for submitting 90-day reports in Thailand?
90 DAY REPORTS (TM.47 form)
I'm going to post this here to help some people I've noticed getting into difficulties:
The first report you make after entering the country must be done *in person* at the immigration office in the province you live in.
EDIT: Steve Smythe who commented below is right (thank you Steve!). You can also submit the first TM.47 90 days after entering Thailand by mail (Thai Post). Personally, I wouldn't recommend this due to reliability issues and particularly not the first ever TM.47 as you might fill it out wrong or not provide the right documents. Details here:
[members only]
Take your passport with you and *make paper copies of the passport pages (face and details) and of the visa page*. You can do this at the immigration office, but it's quicker if you have them ready.
The standard deadlines are: two weeks before and up to one week after the arrival stamp or 90 day period. If you do it too early, it will normally be rejected. If you do it too late, you may have to pay a fine which should be 1,900 Baht - unless you forget completely, then it could be higher.
Subsequent 90 days reports can be done online here (requires registration):

When you leave the country and re-enter, the clock is "reset", i.e. do the first 90 day report after re-entering in person and so on.

Answer summary
When submitting the 90-day report in Thailand (TM.47 form), the first report after entry must be done in person at the local immigration office or can be mailed, though mailing is not recommended for the first report due to reliability issues. It's essential to take your passport and copies of relevant pages. Deadlines for submission are within two weeks before and up to one week after the 90-day arrival stamp. Subsequent reports can be completed online. It's important to note that re-entry resets the reporting requirement.

What do you mean when you say the standard deadlines are...2 weeks before and up to one week after?
Are you saying you have to do it 2 weeks before or it can't been done more than 2 weeks before?
Can i just do it on the actual 90th day?

The link you've posted for reporting by mail is not a reliable source. It's a Siam Legal website which over the years has become synonymous with misleading information. The best link to follow is the Thai Immigration website. I can assure anyone using this method it is 100% reliable. I've used this method literally dozens of times, never had a rejection***************************************************

First report does not have to be done in person. If your specific immigration office allows it (Bangkok most certainly does) it can be done by mail

hi Steve. I want to do my first report by post. May I please check with you what documents I need to include in the envelope? Much appreciatedChristopher *************
OP@Steve *******
that's a new one on meSteve ********
@Christopher ************
I've done it that way for many years. A visit to local post office. A few photocopies, EMS tracked postage, all up about 80 Baht, and takes 10-15 minutes. Sure beats going to CW, and no worries about online not being accepted. Best way for meChristopher *************
OP@Stephen *******
you can do it regardless of what visa you haveStephen ********
@Steve *******
how have you been doing it for many years when the dtv visa has only existed 6 months?Christopher *************
OP@Steve *******
