TM47 Form — 90-Day Reporting in Thailand (2026 Guide for Thailand Elite Members)
Everything Thailand Elite / Thailand Privilege members need to know about the TM47 form and the 90-day report in Thailand: what TM47 is, how to fill it out, how to file online, in person, by mail, or via our Elite drop-off service in Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket and Chiang Mai — plus penalties and how to fix a rejected TM47.

TM47 Form / 90-Day Report — Quick Answer for Thailand Elite Members
The TM47 is the official Thai Immigration form that every foreigner staying 90 consecutive days or more in Thailand must file to confirm their current address. The TM47 form does not extend your visa — it is simply a routine address check, required of all long-stay residents including Thailand Elite / Thailand Privilege members.
You can submit your TM47 in four ways:
• Online at the official portal — free, available 15 days before and 7 days after the due date
• In person at the immigration office covering your registered address (TM47 paper form provided on site)
• By registered mail (paper TM47 form sent at least 15 days before the due date)
• Through the Thailand Elite drop-off service in Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket and Chiang Mai — our team submits the TM47 form with Immigration on your behalf
The 90-day counter resets every time you leave and re-enter Thailand, so most members only file the TM47 once or twice a year if they travel internationally. Late filing triggers a THB 2,000 fine; failing to file at all can cost up to THB 5,000 plus complications at your next immigration appointment.
What Is the TM47 90-Day Report?
The TM47 is the legal notification required under Section 37(5) of the Thai Immigration Act B.E. 2522 (1979). Every foreigner who has stayed in Thailand for 90 consecutive days or more must report their current address to the Immigration Bureau, and continue to report it every 90 days for as long as they remain in the country.
The TM47 is unrelated to your visa expiry and does not extend your stay. It is purely an administrative address confirmation, distinct from the TM30 (which is filed by your landlord when you take up residence). See our TM30 guide for the difference.
Who Has to File TM47?
All foreigners staying in Thailand on a long-stay visa must file the TM47 once they cross the 90-consecutive-day threshold. This includes:
• Thailand Elite / Thailand Privilege Visa holders (PE and SE)
• Retirement-visa holders (Non-OA / Non-OX)
• Marriage-visa holders (Non-O)
• Work-permit holders (Non-B)
• Education-visa holders (Non-ED)
• Long-Term Resident (LTR) visa holders
Tourists and short-stay visitors are typically not subject to the TM47 because their permitted stay rarely reaches 90 consecutive days. If you leave Thailand for any reason — even a quick weekend trip — the counter resets and a new 90-day clock begins on re-entry.
When Is the 90-Day Report Due?
Your first TM47 is due on the 90th day of your continuous stay. From there, the cycle repeats every 90 days. Immigration provides a reporting window that makes timing flexible:
• Earliest you can file: 15 days before the due date
• Latest you can file: 7 days after the due date (without a fine)
• After day 7: a THB 2,000 fine applies, plus practical issues at your next extension or visa-affixation appointment
If you leave Thailand and return, the 90-day clock resets on your new entry date. There is no need to file a TM47 for trips of any length — only continuous stays of 90 days or more.
Thailand Elite members can ask the Member Contact Center to track the due date and send reminders. We also do this automatically for members who use our concierge service.
How to Fill Out & File the TM47 Form Online
Online filing is free, available 24/7, and now the most common option for Thailand Elite members staying in Bangkok or remote provinces. The official TM47 online portal is operated by the Thai Immigration Bureau:
Official TM47 online portal: https://tm47.immigration.go.th/tm47/
Information you need to fill out the TM47 form online:
• Your passport number and personal details exactly as on the passport biodata page
• Latest visa entry date (look at your most recent entry stamp)
• Current address in Thailand — must match the address registered on your latest TM30
• Valid email address (the system sends the receipt as a PDF)
• Optional: previous 90-day report receipt for reference
Step-by-step process to fill out the TM47 online:
1. Open the portal and log in (first-time users register with passport + email).
2. Confirm your personal information — name, nationality, passport number, date of birth.
3. Enter your visa details and latest entry date.
4. Enter your current address in Thailand (it must match your TM30 exactly — street, district, postal code).
5. Review every field carefully. Misspellings or address mismatches are the top cause of rejection.
6. Confirm and submit.
7. Download the PDF receipt — save it to a dedicated folder on your phone. You will be asked for it at your next visa affixation, residence certificate, or extension appointment.
Processing is usually instant. If the portal returns an error, see the next section.
Why TM47 Online Submissions Get Rejected — and How to Fix Them
The most common reason an online TM47 is rejected is a TM30 address mismatch. The portal cross-checks the address you enter against your most recent TM30 (address notification filed by your landlord). If they do not match exactly, the system returns an error.
Typical scenarios:
• You travelled to another province and a hotel filed a TM30 for you — that hotel address is now your latest registered residence, and won't match your home address.
• Your landlord forgot to file a fresh TM30 after your latest re-entry to Thailand.
• You moved house and the new address hasn't been notified.
The fix in every case is to ensure a current TM30 is on file at the address you want to report. Ask your landlord (or yourself, if you own the property) to submit a fresh TM30 — once that's in the system, your TM47 online submission will go through. See our TM30 guide for the registration steps.
If the portal still fails after the TM30 is corrected, the Member Contact Center can coordinate a manual filing at the immigration office on your behalf — particularly useful for first-time members.
Filing TM47 in Person or By Mail
If you prefer offline filing, two options exist:
In person — visit the immigration office that covers your registered address. Bring your passport (original + copies of the biodata page, visa page, and latest entry stamp), your latest TM30 receipt, the completed TM47 form (available at the office), and the previous 90-day report receipt if you have one. Some offices accept walk-ins; busy ones (like Chaeng Wattana, Bangkok) recommend a morning arrival.
By mail — download the TM47 form, fill it in, attach copies of the passport pages and your TM30 receipt, and send the package by registered mail to the immigration office covering your address. Include a stamped self-addressed envelope so they can return the stamped receipt. Mail filings must arrive at least 15 days before the due date — track delivery carefully, because the postal stamp on arrival is what counts.
In practice, Thailand Elite members rarely use the mail option — the online portal or the Elite drop-off service is faster and easier.
Thailand Elite Drop-Off Service — Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket, Chiang Mai
Thailand Elite members can hand their 90-day report to our team and let us handle the immigration submission. We offer the drop-off service in four cities at scheduled days each week. Bring your passport (or send a copy) and your latest TM30 receipt to the relevant location, and you will receive the stamped TM47 receipt back within 1 to 2 working days.
No fee, no queue, no rejected-portal frustration. Bookings are made through the Member Contact Center at least 24 hours in advance. See the table below for current days, addresses and timing.
TM47 Penalties for Late or Missed Reports
• Late filing (more than 7 days after the due date): fine of THB 2,000 at the next immigration appointment.
• Caught without ever filing (e.g. at the airport on departure or during an extension): fine of up to THB 5,000.
• Repeated non-compliance can complicate future visa extensions, re-entry permits and residence certificate applications.
There is no criminal record or visa cancellation for a missed TM47 — but immigration officers will note it, and the fine has to be paid in cash before they will process anything else for you. Set a calendar reminder for day 75 of every continuous stay, or let the Member Contact Center track it for you.

TM47 Form / 90-Day Reporting — Frequently Asked Questions
What is TM47 in Thailand?
TM47 is the official Thai Immigration form used for the 90-day report. Every foreigner staying 90 consecutive days or more in Thailand must complete the TM47 to confirm their current address with the Immigration Bureau, then repeat the report every 90 days. The TM47 applies to all long-stay visa types, including Thailand Elite / Thailand Privilege Visa, retirement, marriage, work, education and LTR visas.
What is the TM47 form?
The TM47 form (Notification of Staying in the Kingdom Over 90 Days) is the address-reporting document foreigners file with Thai Immigration. It is available as a paper form at every immigration office and as a digital form on the official portal at https://tm47.immigration.go.th/tm47/. The TM47 form does not extend your visa — it is purely an address check, and once submitted you receive a stamped receipt to keep with your passport.
How do I fill out a TM47 form?
On the paper TM47 form, complete: your full name, nationality and passport number; the date of your latest entry to Thailand and the visa class (e.g. Privilege Entry Visa for Thailand Elite members); your current address in Thailand (must match your latest TM30); your phone number and signature. Online via the official portal, the same fields are pre-filled from your previous filing where possible. Always double-check the address — a mismatch with your TM30 is the most common reason a TM47 is rejected. See our step-by-step section above for the full online process.
Where can I download the TM47 form?
The paper TM47 form is provided free at every Thai immigration office — no need to download or print it in advance. If you want to file by mail, the form is also available for download from the Immigration Bureau website (https://www.immigration.go.th). For online filing, use the official TM47 portal at https://tm47.immigration.go.th/tm47/ — there is no PDF download step in that flow.
What is the TM47 90-day report?
The TM47 90-day report is the same document referred to throughout this guide — the Notification of Staying in the Kingdom Over 90 Days. It is required under Section 37(5) of the Thai Immigration Act and applies to all long-stay visa holders, including Thailand Elite / Thailand Privilege members. It does not extend your visa — it is purely an address check.
How do I file the TM47 online?
Go to the official TM47 online portal at https://tm47.immigration.go.th/tm47/, register with your passport and email, confirm your address (which must match your latest TM30), and submit. Processing is usually instant, and you can download the PDF receipt to save on your phone. Online filing is free and open 15 days before to 7 days after the due date.
Why is my TM47 online submission being rejected?
The most common cause is a TM30 address mismatch — for example, a hotel in another province filed a TM30 for you during a recent trip, so that address is now your latest registered residence. Ask your home landlord (or yourself, if you own the property) to file a fresh TM30 at your home address, then re-try the TM47 submission. See our TM30 guide for the steps.
Do Thailand Elite / Thailand Privilege members have to file the TM47?
Yes. The TM47 applies to all foreigners staying 90 consecutive days or more in Thailand, regardless of visa type. Thailand Elite members benefit from concierge support, including a drop-off service in Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket and Chiang Mai where our team submits the report on your behalf.
What happens if I leave Thailand before the 90 days are up?
The 90-day counter resets every time you exit and re-enter Thailand. If you take a short trip abroad, you do not need to file a TM47 for that stay — a new 90-day clock begins on your next entry. Most Thailand Elite members who travel internationally only file once or twice a year.
How much is the fine for a late TM47?
THB 2,000 if filed more than 7 days after the due date. If you are caught not having filed at all (e.g. at the airport or during an extension), the fine can rise to THB 5,000. The fine is payable in cash at the immigration office before they will process anything else for you.
Can I file the TM47 early?
Yes. The reporting window opens 15 days before the official due date, so you can file early without penalty. Many Thailand Elite members file as soon as the window opens to get it off their to-do list and to have the receipt ready for upcoming travel.
What information do I need to file the TM47?
Your passport details, your most recent visa entry date, your current address in Thailand (must match your latest TM30), and a valid email address for the PDF receipt. If you have your previous 90-day report receipt, keep it handy for reference. The TM6 departure card number is no longer required (it was suspended).
