What are the tips for 90-day reporting for expats in Bangkok?

Question

90 day reporting
Reporting in Bangkok can be done 2 weeks before the 90 day date or within 1 week after the 90 day date. After that you will be fined.

1. Don’t go early in the morning, you’ll wait the entire day. I came at 1PM and got to the counter in approx. 2 - 3 hours. There are 6 counters and it takes approx. 5 min per person.

2. You only need your passport, a filled TM47, and a TM30. I printed my passport scans, property lease, and my DTV visa. All they took is a TM47, that I filled in at the immigration office, and my TM30. If you remember, write down the arrival card number on the TM47. If you don’t remember, don’t stress, no one is going to do anything with you. My immigration officer was nice, she wrote that down herself.

3. Make sure your address is properly mentioned in the TM30. I was rejected the first time because my address in TM30 was just the name of the condo. You need to have the name of the condo, address, and your room / condo number.

If you’re using the BTS to get to the immigration, don’t follow Google Maps, follow the people and they will lead you to a free shuttle bus thst goes between the BTS and the governmental complex.

Good luck 🙏🏼

Keep in mind that reporting in the 2 weeks before 90 days is reached means the next reporting day will be before day 180 of your DTV stamp, which means you need to do a second reporting if you want to stay the full 180 days.

In Bangkok best to do it by mail. As convenient as your local post office and no waiting! No brainer

You should realy state you are talking about reporting in Bangkok.It depends which office as going early is optimum in places like Chiang Mai and Jomtien. Not all offices have same situation or operations.

I did mine last week and I think you ve given pretty accurate information. I didn't t go till the afternoon and I was dealt with quickly as I was given a priority pass with only 2 ahead of me. I put thst down to either the way I looked or how I hobbled in. Maybe both. As long as you get a queue number they have to deal with you. Going in the afternoon is probably the best bet if you have to go and cannot do it online. I d aim to get there about 2pm.

It won't take 2-3 hours if you make an appointment.  Then it'll be 10-15 minutes.
