⛔️⛔️90 Day Reporting (TM47) process⛔️⛔️

Yes, it is *compulsory* to have a TM30 form during the 90-day reporting (TM47). After completing TM47 reporting, the officer will give you a stamped paper confirming that the 90-day report was submitted on time. Please keep this paper safely along with your passport.

🍀🍀TM47 – 90-Day Reporting:

👉You can report 15 days before or up to 7 days after your 90-day period ends.

👉This gives you a 22-day window to report.

👉If you miss this period, you will have to pay a fine.

🍀🍀For DTV Holders:

You must go to the Chaeng Watthana Immigration Bureau for 90-day reporting. Here’s how to get there:

Option 1: By BTS + MRT (Train)

1. Take the BTS Green Line to Wat Phra Sri Mahathat station.

2. Interchange to the Pink Line and go to the Government Complex station.

3. Exit using the left-side staircase, and walk towards the area between National Telecom and the Government Complex.

4. On the way, you’ll see the entrance to the Government Complex (a large open, green area).

5. Ask the guard for the free shuttle bus to the Immigration Office — they will guide you to it.

6. Take the shuttle; it will drop you directly at the Immigration Bureau.

Option 2: Grab/Bolt

👉Take a Grab or Bolt for a faster, direct trip.

📍 Location on Google Maps: Chaeng Watthana Immigration Office

🍀🍀✨Best Time to Go:

👉The best time to go is around 7:00 AM, as queue tickets are distributed from 8:15 AM to 3:30 PM.

👉The earlier you arrive, the earlier you’ll get your queue number.

👉There are usually over 600 people per day reporting for 90-day check-ins.

👉The first thing you must do upon arrival is take a queue ticket.

🍀🍀TM47 Form (90-Day Reporting Form):

👉You need to fill out a TM47 form before your turn at the counter.

👉You can fill it after taking your queue ticket, or before you go.

👉TM47 forms are available at the information desk at the Immigration Office.

👉You can also download the TM47 form online and fill it in advance to save time.

🍀🍀Important Documents & Notes:🍀🍀

✅Your original passport is required.

✅You must appear in person for the first-time report.

✅If you’re sick, busy, or under special circumstances, your spouse can go on your behalf with an authorization letter.

🔈🔈The letter must include:🔈🔈

♦️Your full name

♦️Passport number

♦️Residence address (must match the TM30 form)

♦️Your spouse’s full name and passport number

♦️Your original signature

✅TM30 Form is required — ask your landlord or residence owner for it.

✋✋Final Note:✋✋

Well, this is exactly the process my spouse and I followed for our TM47 (90-day reporting). We are both on the Soft Skill Visa (Muay Thai Visa) — I as the main applicant and my spouse as a dependent.

Please note that procedures may vary slightly, so it’s always a good idea to double-check updated information online or with immigration based on your visa type and location.

“Just in case bring your passport, visa, residence address agreement letter photo copy, marriage certificate in case of spouse, spouse passport visa “ Photo copies of all important documents, this is not mandatory because in my case they just ask for original passport, TM 47 form, TM 30 form and because just because I have also done my spouse (vice-versa) I have to give the authorization letter as well.

I hope this post can help you 🙏
Answer summary
The TM47 (90-Day Reporting) process in Thailand is compulsory and requires a TM30 form. Expats can report their 90-day status 15 days before or up to 7 days after their reporting period ends, with a 22-day reporting window. It's important to appear in person at the Chaeng Watthana Immigration Bureau, where specific travel directions are provided, including public transport options. During the visit, bring your original passport, complete the TM47 form, and ensure the TM30 is on hand. If unable to attend in person for the first time, an authorized spouse can do so with a letter. It's essential to take a queue ticket early in the day as there can be long lines. Overall, procedures may vary, so always verify your specific requirements.

Bangkok seems a pain in the bottom. Glad I never had to do 90 day report or TM30 in 4 years in Bangkok .....BOI

Yes, it does seem a pain., luckily, I also never had to do one in BKK. Hopefully the process is streamlined in the near future. This is a good example of where an agent is useful.

I would def use agent if I had to do it Bangkok. Chiang Mai seems the easiest. They have a drive through window that you can walk up to or cycle up to as well. Passport and TM47 all that is needed. Is there an easier one?
