Sorry, not exactly visa related, but a question about 90 day report.

Very soon i have to do my first 90 day report here in Chiang Mai, i know i have to do the first in person, and i've downloaded the TM47, but i don't have a TM6, i entered over land from Laos and don't believe i was required to complete this form.

Is the TM6 necessary, and how do i get 1?

I’m living in Chiang Mai with my wife and our four children, all on DTVs. 90 days for us is next Thursday. Online isn’t available for the first report, and I opted to try in-person to see if it was as easy as I had been told. It was. I asked another expat for advice and was told to take passports, TM30s, and completed TM47s. I also took a print-out of our house lease agreement but wasn’t asked to show it. I didn’t take passport photocopies. I got to the drive-up window not long before 1:00; it was closed for lunch between 12 and 1. Several minutes later the window opened, and I gave the officer the stack of six passports (with TM47s loose and TM30s attached inside each one). It took him about three minutes to process all six of them and issue printed receipts. Please note that this is my experience in Chiang Mai today; no guarantee that this will work exactly the same in other places or at a later date. Also: our passports are stamped through Feb. 19, but, because I went in a week early for 90-day reporting (you can do it between 15 days before and 7 after the 90-day mark), the receipts show that we need to report again 90 days from today (Feb. 11), not 90 days from the 90th day (Feb. 19). So, if one wants to schedule a 180-day border bounce very close to a visa stamp date, don't report ahead of the 90-day date like I did unless you want to report twice before leaving the country.

Just did my 90 day report on the DTV visa in Phuket, pretty straight forward, in and out after 20min, no cost involved for the reporting.

Documents:

Signed copy of Passport info page

Signed copy Passport last arrival stamp

DTV E-Visa printed (or visa label in passport if you have)

TM30, TM47

Who has completed the TM47 in Pattaya or Si Racha area? Easy at immigration office? Ok to do on own? What documents? Thanks 🙏

Hello

I returned to Thailand on a retirement visa with multi re-entry permit which expires April 2025. My address has changed but I am still in the same city where I received my retirement visa.

Do I or my landlord need to file a TM 30? I have been back a few weeks but have been traveling.

Thank you very much

For a DTV visa what is required in regards to the TM 30 and TM 47? Are both of those required for us to do?

I asked my hotel for a TM30 so that I can go to immigration and get a TM47 / 90 day report, but all they gave me was a signed letter from the hotel manager stating that I have been staying at the hotel for a while etc.

Does that seem normal to everyone?

I was under the impression the TM30 was like an official form or something.

Are hotels different in that this letter will suffice?

Anyone know?

Cheers

TM47.

Hello,

I have been out of the country and came back on 2 August. I did my 90 day report online yesterday and it got rejected this morning.

1. Going through some of the posts on this topic, I read that if it is the first 90 Day Report after you have been back into the country, you need to go in person to Chaeng Wattana.

Can you confirm ?

2. Can't you make an appointment online for a TM47 report before you go? I went online to book an appointment, but the [Make an appointment] button is dead ( see attached screenshot)

Thank you for any feedback on the two points above.

Regarding a residency certificate I understand that the first 90 day report must have been completed, before applying. Yet I read on various expat posts that immigration are accepting just the TM30, passport, visa, etc, without the TM47. Is this now the case and is it written somewhere official?

Question: we have the dtv. Now we filed an online tm47, but that was rejected, because they want the first time an in person visit - that is no problem.

But what do we need to do to file that we are staying on this country legal?

I asked the landlord to give me a copy of the TM30 and will receive that this afternoon.

Do we miss a step somewhere?

Any clear step for step process explained would be great.

Thank you.
