90-Day Reporting (TM47) and TM30 Address Notification in Thailand
Two different duties with different responsible parties — missing either brings fines and extension trouble.
Quick answer
Foreigners staying in Thailand more than 90 consecutive days must report their address every 90 days (form TM47), from 15 days before to 7 days after the due date, by post, online, or in person. TM30 is the house owner's or landlord's duty to notify a foreign resident within 24 hours. Reporting is not a visa extension. Contact our team for a quotation.

How it works
3-step process
- 1
Calculate the due date
The count restarts on every re-entry, so leaving the country resets the 90-day cycle.
- 2
Confirm TM30
The online system often rejects a TM47 when no matching TM30 exists.
- 3
File and keep the receipt
Keep the receipt with your passport; it is shown at extension time.
FAQ

What is the fine for a late report?
Under section 37 of the Immigration Act, a late self-report is commonly fined 2,000 baht and up to 5,000 baht if caught first. Confirm current amounts with the Immigration Bureau.
Can someone else file for me?
Yes, with a power of attorney and signed passport copies.
Who must file TM30?
The house master, occupier, or hotel manager — not the foreigner — though the foreigner usually feels the effect at extension time.
