Marx Grout don’t forget the photo, ID/biometric page, arrival stamp page and cash! Good luck!

Marx Grout tm7 form?

Marx Grout yes you have to file the tm47. And they want it in hard copy. If I remember correctly

Copy of tm30 filed by landlord

Signed tm47 (You will find it on immigrations homepage)

Copy of DTV visa

Copy of ID page of passport

Copy of arrival stamp

I did find a paper/pen shop that helped me with copying, it was like 5baht per page.

Marx Grout, don’t do the same mistake I did at 90 day reporting and you lease apartment and If you stay in other hotel/airbnb in between before you go to immigration, you need a new filed tm30 as the hotel stay also file a tm30. And do the first report as late as possible as the next report is from the date of filling the first report if you intention is to travel back “home” within the 180 days per entry, then you will exit before the 90 days and do not need to file the second one. If you need to do the second one, I read that it is possible to do online. Have a great time.

@John *********

yes, stupid me, did it early as I thought immigration counted the 90 days and not from day of report. Next time, I will do it as late as possible.

@Biff ******

so if I stay at a hotel in Bangkok my last days in the country, I can file my tm 47 with the hotel address, as the hotel will file a tm 30, right?
