Hope this question is allowed.

May I know when I should file for TM47? I tried to submit the form in person today, but the officer put 11/3/25 on the form and told me to come back later. I would like to confirm the possible date for submission.

I entered Thailand with TR visa on 5th March. and changed to non-ed on 17th April. Isn't the 90 days count started from 5th March? Or is it reset to count from 17th April?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The 90-day reporting requirement does not begin until you are on a visa or extension valid for longer than 90 days. In your case, since you changed to a non-ED visa on April 17, you will need to start your 90-day reporting approximately 180 days after your ED visa approval date, and the immigration office will provide the exact date when you apply for your extension.

Soe Ko I have made the same mistake when I got my first ED visa 😊 Tod is 100% correct. Your first 90 days report should be done approximately ~180 days after the date on your ED-visa. They will definitely give you the receipt with the TM47 date when you go for your first extension😊

You don't even start doing 90 day reporting yet 😕

None of your time in thailand has been "countable" toward having to file a 90 day report

You ONLY start doing 90 day reporting when you're on a visa/extension for longer than 90 days

When you go to the immigration office and get your extension on this 90 day ED visa you have they will put a paper in your passport saying when your FIRST 90 day report is due

The paper will look like this

So wait until you go get your extension on that 90 day Non-ED visa <- which is what you have right now and then look for that small paper once you get the extension. They will staple it into your passport

Noted. Thanks for answering.

I thought it started as soon as I entered the Thailand or start date of visa issued.
