90 DAY REPORT
Notification of staying in the Kingdom of Thailand over 90 days
The 90 day report for foreigners is mandatory. Missing a 90 day report may result in monetary fines, difficulty with immigration services, and/or difficulty with any other government matters. Read on to make sure you know what to do, when to do it, and where to do it.
Non-Thai nationals residing in Thailand must notify immigration of their address every 90 days, as long as they do not leave the country. If they do leave the country, then the 90-day countdown begins upon returning to Thailand. The 90-day notification requirement is applicable to all visa types, i.e. working visa, marriage visa, retirement visa, guardian visa, etc.
How to do a 90-day notification of address in Thailand
The notification may be done in-person at the appropriate immigration office in your city/province, or by authorizing another person to make the notification, such as an agent, or by sending the notification via registered mail, or by internet (see the Immigration Bureau website for the latest information).
The notification must be made within 15 days before or 7 days after the period of 90 days expires, otherwise the foreigner must appear in-person and pay a fine.

What is the TM30 in Thailand?
Non-Thai nationals must report their residence to immigration anytime they reside away from their permanent address within Thailand (for example, staying at a hotel on holiday), and upon returning to their permanent address in Thailand. Reporting must be done within 24 hours of arriving at the residence. Most hotels will submit the TM30 on behalf of their guests. Landlords are obliged to submit notification as well for their foreign tenants. While cumbersome, the TM30 is the nonetheless necessary for every foreigner staying in Thailand. Not having an up to date TM30 can result in many unforeseen problems when dealing with official matters.
