Thailand 90 Day Report (TM47) 2026: Online, Jomtien Immigration, Post and Late Fines

If you live in Thailand on a long-stay visa, the 90 day report (TM47) comes round every three months. It is free, but a rejected online submission or a miscounted due date can turn it into a fine. This guide covers who has to report, how the 90 days are counted, the four ways to file (online, in person, by post or through a representative), the late fine, and what to bring to Jomtien Immigration if you live in Pattaya.

What the 90-day report (TM.47) is

Foreigners who stay in Thailand continuously for more than 90 days must notify Immigration of their current address every 90 days. The duty comes from Section 37 of the Immigration Act (1979), and the report takes its everyday name, TM.47, from the form. There is no fee for the report itself.

It applies to people living in Thailand on long-stay permissions such as retirement, marriage, education or business. If you entered on the 30-day visa exemption and took a 30-day extension, your stay totals 60 days, so you would not normally reach the reporting point.

How the 90 days are counted

• The next due date is 90 days from your entry date, or from your last report. The receipt from your previous report shows the next due date, so follow that date rather than counting yourself
• If you leave Thailand and come back, the count starts again from the new entry date
• Extending your stay, for example on a retirement visa, does not replace the 90-day report; the two are separate procedures

Reporting window and the 90 day report late fine

A few points around the window:

• The legal maximum is explained as 5,000 THB, with a possible additional fine of up to 200 THB per day. Late reports are handled at the office
• The window is counted in calendar days. Weekends and public holidays, when the office is closed, still count
• Some guidance says the online system does not accept a report once the due date has passed. Treat the 7 days after the due date as a grace period for reporting in person, not online
• Repeated late reports are said to count against you when you next apply for an extension

Four ways to file a 90-day report

Filing the TM47 online

Online reports go through the Immigration Bureau's 90-day report website, tm47.immigration.go.th.

1. Register your email address on the site
2. Log in, choose a new report and enter your passport number, nationality, entry date and Thai address in English, using the same spelling as Immigration's records
3. After submitting, check the result within a few days. Once approved, save the receipt and print it

Some practical notes:

• The usual guidance has been that the first report, and the first report after a change of address, are made in person. There have been reports in 2026 that the online system now handles more cases, but the information is divided. For a first report or after a move, going to the office avoids doing the job twice
• If your online report is rejected, switch to the office or post. If you try online just before the due date and are rejected, you may not be able to reach the office within the window, so file early, as soon as the window opens
• Residents say the site connects more easily in the morning, outside busy hours

90-day report at Jomtien Immigration (Pattaya)

If you live in Pattaya, your office is Jomtien Immigration, the Pattaya office of Chonburi Immigration. Bring:

• Your original passport
• A completed TM.47 form
• The receipt from your previous 90-day report
• Copies of your passport: the photo page, your visa, the latest permission stamp and the entry stamp
• If you entered Thailand in May 2025 or later, your Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) confirmation

When the report is accepted you receive a receipt showing your next due date. Some offices are reported to stop taking reports at the end of the morning, so go early.

By post

• Send the completed and signed TM.47, copies of your passport and a stamped, self-addressed return envelope by registered mail to the immigration office responsible for your area
• Post from inside Thailand only; it cannot be sent from abroad
• Guidance says it should arrive 10 to 15 days before the due date (sources give 10 days or 15 days). The receipt can take from a few days to around 10 days to come back
• The address and the enclosures differ by office, so check before sending

Through a representative

A family member or an agency can file at the office on your behalf. The representative usually brings a letter of authorisation written by you, a copy of your passport, the completed TM.47, your previous receipt and their own ID. Offices may ask for different documents, so confirm beforehand.

Common mistakes

• Working out the due date yourself and getting it wrong. Use the date on your receipt
• Filing online after moving house and being rejected. Once your address changes, go to the office
• Mixing it up with the TM.30. The TM.30 is a separate notification made by the landlord or householder where a foreigner is staying
• Being caught out by a due date that falls just before a trip home. Re-entry resets the count, so check how your departure date and due date relate before you go

Frequently asked questions

Does the 90-day report cost anything?

No. A report made within the window is free. A fine applies only if you report after the window.

What happens to my 90-day report if I go home for a visit?

The count restarts from the date you re-enter Thailand; the next due date is 90 days from the new entry date. You also need a re-entry permit when you leave.

My online report was rejected. What should I do?

If you are still within the window, file at the office or by post. If the due date is close, going to the office is the surer way to make it in time.

I renewed my retirement visa. Does that cover the 90-day report?

No. The one-year extension and the 90-day report are separate procedures, and the report continues as before.
