รายงานตัว 90 วัน (การรายงานตัว 90 วัน, form TM47 หรือ ตม.47, หรือที่เรียกว่า แจ้งที่อยู่ล่วงหน้า 90 วัน) is the duty under Section 37 of the Immigration Act B.E. 2522 (1979) for a foreigner who stays in Thailand for more than 90 consecutive days to notify immigration of their current address. It applies to anyone on an extension of stay or a long-stay visa, whether for retirement, marriage, work, study or the ดีทีวี. It is not a visa renewal and does not extend the permitted stay; it is a separate address check with its own timetable and its own fine.

What Section 37 requires and when the clock runs
มาตรา 37 sets out the conditions attached to a temporary stay, and one of them is that a foreigner who remains in the Kingdom for more than 90 days must report their place of residence to the competent official every 90 days. The count starts on the date of the latest entry stamp, or on the date of the last report. Extensions and visa dates are irrelevant: a foreigner who entered on 1 January and extended in March still reports 90 days from 1 January.
Leaving Thailand resets the count. On re-entry, the 90 days run again from the new entry stamp, and any report that was pending is cancelled. This is why frequent travellers sometimes never file one, while a retiree who does not leave files four a year. Thai citizens, holders of การพำนักถาวร and diplomatic staff are outside the rule.
How and where to file the TM47
The filing window is 15 days before the due date to 7 days after it, a 22-day period that is not extended by weekends or holidays. Four methods exist. In person at the immigration office responsible for the address, with the passport, the TM47 form, copies of the data page, visa, latest entry stamp and extension stamps, and the previous receipt. Online through the Immigration Bureau’s TM47 portal, which accepts filings only in the 15 days before the due date and issues an electronic receipt. By registered post to the local office, sent at least 15 days before the due date. Or through a representative holding a signed หนังสือมอบอำนาจ.
Some offices also ask to see the ทีเอ็ม30 receipt and, since the paper TM6 card was replaced on 1 May 2025, the ทีดีเอซี confirmation. The common mistake is treating the online portal as a last-minute option: it rejects filings after the due date, and a rejected online attempt does not stop the fine.
Fines for a late or missed 90-day report
The statute is section 76 of the Immigration Act: failing to report under section 37(5) carries a fine of not more than 5,000 baht, and a further fine of not more than 200 baht for each day until the report is made. Everything else here is Immigration practice rather than the Act. In practice a report made within about a week of the due date is accepted without a fine, a foreigner who comes forward late is usually settled at 2,000 baht at the counter, and the higher figures are used where officers find the omission. Practice varies between offices, so treat the 2,000 baht as the usual settlement and not as a rate fixed by law.
| สถานการณ์ | Consequence |
|---|---|
| Filed within 7 days after due date | ไม่มีค่าปรับ |
| Filed late, foreigner reports voluntarily | 2,000 baht |
| Omission found by immigration or police | Up to 5,000 baht plus 200 baht per day |
The report is often confused with the TM30, the host’s notification of the foreigner’s residence. A missed report does not cancel the visa, but the fine must be settled before the next extension is granted, and repeated omissions are recorded on the file.
คำถามที่พบบ่อย
Can I do the 90 day report online in Thailand?
Yes, through the Immigration Bureau’s TM47 online portal, but only within the 15 days before the due date. The portal does not accept late filings, so a foreigner who is already past the due date must go to the immigration office in person or send a representative with a power of attorney.
How much is the fine for a late 90 day report?
The Act (section 76) sets a fine of up to 5,000 baht plus up to 200 baht for each day the report is outstanding. In practice a report made within about a week of the due date is accepted without a fine, and a foreigner who comes forward late is usually settled at 2,000 baht at the counter. Those counter figures are Immigration practice, not rates fixed by law, and they vary between offices.
Does leaving Thailand reset the 90 day report?
Yes. Any exit from Thailand cancels the current count and a new 90-day period starts from the entry stamp on return. A foreigner who leaves every two or three months never has to file one, whereas a foreigner who stays continuously files every 90 days from the last report.

Last reviewed: 24 September 2026. Read end to end. Section 37(5) of the Immigration Act B.E. 2522 (report the place of residence without delay at each 90 days, and every 90 days thereafter) and section 76 (the fine, not more than 5,000 baht plus not more than 200 baht a day until compliance) were read in Thai. The filing window, the online portal rules and the 2,000 baht counter settlement are Immigration practice and are described as such; they vary between offices.
