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

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 🙏🏼
