Online through the Immigration Bureau&#8217;s TM47 portal, which accepts filings only in the 15 days before the due date and issues an electronic receipt.

The legal maximum is 5,000 baht plus 200 baht per day outstanding, which is applied when officers find the omission rather than the foreigner coming forward.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-3\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question\">Does leaving Thailand reset the 90 day report?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer\">\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p>\u0e14\u0e39\u0e40\u0e1e\u0e34\u0e48\u0e21\u0e40\u0e15\u0e34\u0e21: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/th\/glossary\/tm30\/\">\u0e17\u0e35\u0e40\u0e2d\u0e47\u0e2130<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/th\/glossary\/extension-of-stay\/\">\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e02\u0e22\u0e32\u0e22\u0e40\u0e27\u0e25\u0e32\u0e1e\u0e33\u0e19\u0e31\u0e01<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/th\/glossary\/re-entry-permit\/\">\u0e43\u0e1a\u0e2d\u0e19\u0e38\u0e0d\u0e32\u0e15\u0e01\u0e25\u0e31\u0e1a\u0e40\u0e02\u0e49\u0e32\u0e1b\u0e23\u0e30\u0e40\u0e17\u0e28<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/th\/glossary\/immigration-bureau\/\">\u0e2a\u0e33\u0e19\u0e31\u0e01\u0e07\u0e32\u0e19\u0e15\u0e23\u0e27\u0e08\u0e04\u0e19\u0e40\u0e02\u0e49\u0e32\u0e40\u0e21\u0e37\u0e2d\u0e07<\/a>, and the full guide to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/th\/90-day-report-thailand\/\">90-day report in Thailand<\/a>.<\/p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 90-day report (\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e23\u0e32\u0e22\u0e07\u0e32\u0e19\u0e15\u0e31\u0e27 90 \u0e27\u0e31\u0e19, form TM47 or TM.47, also called the 90-day notification of address) is the duty [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":214,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":"","rank_math_focus_keyword":"90 day report thailand","rank_math_title":"90 Day Report Thailand (TM47) Explained | ThaiLawOnline","rank_math_description":"90 day report Thailand: the TM47 notification of address a foreigner on a long stay must file under Section 37 of the Immigration Act.
