90-Day Report, TM30 & Re-entry Permit

The application fee for extension of stay follows the ministerial rate published by the Immigration Bureau and is currently THB 1,900 per application (as at August 2026). Re-entry permits and other applications carry separate fees. Check the current schedule at immigration.go.th before you file, as rates can change.

The core set is form TM.7, photographs in the required size, copies of every stamped passport page, accommodation evidence plus the landlord's TM30 notification, and supporting documents for your reason to stay such as employer papers, marriage documents, or financial evidence. Individual offices may request more based on your circumstances.

Foreign nationals permitted to stay in Thailand for more than 90 consecutive days must notify their current address to immigration every 90 days. Reporting is possible in person, by post, or through the online service where available. The 90-day count restarts whenever you leave and re-enter the country.

Notifying immigration that a foreign national is staying at a property is the duty of the house master, property owner, hotel manager, or landlord, not the resident. In practice the notification receipt is often requested when filing extensions and 90-day reports, so tenants should always ask for a copy for their records.

Report in person at your local immigration office as soon as possible. Late notification carries a fine set by law, and the amount can be higher if the lapse is discovered during an inspection. A late report does not immediately end your permission to stay, but it stays visible to officers assessing your next extension.

You need one whenever you hold an extension of stay and intend to leave Thailand and return while keeping that same permission. Leaving without a re-entry permit ends your extension immediately and the process must start again. Single and multiple versions are available at immigration offices and airport counters.

The new house master or landlord must submit a TM30 notification for the new address, and you should update the address used for 90-day reporting so the records match. If the address on file differs from where you actually live, your next extension application may attract requests for further documents or explanations.

Permanent residence is a legal status that removes the need for periodic extensions and 90-day reporting, but it is subject to annual per-nationality quotas and stricter conditions such as years of continuous qualifying visas and tax records. A long-stay visa is temporary permission that must be maintained every year.

Overstay carries a daily fine at the statutory rate up to a maximum, and re-entry bans apply for periods based on the length of the overstay. Being arrested carries heavier consequences than voluntarily reporting and departing. Anyone in overstay should seek advice and resolve the situation as quickly as possible.

The DTV is a 5-year multiple-entry visa allowing 180 days per entry, extendable once by another 180 days inside Thailand; it suits remote workers paid by foreign employers or clients. The LTR is a 10-year (5+5) visa endorsed by BOI, with annual reporting instead of 90-day reporting, fast-track at airports and a bundled digital work permit. If your income and insurance meet BOI thresholds, LTR is usually better long term; otherwise start with the DTV.

LTR holders report once per year instead of every 90 days. The TM30 address notification duty of the house-master still applies each time you re-enter the country or change address. DTV holders staying continuously beyond 90 days must still file the standard 90-day report.

No — the DTV is already multiple-entry, so each arrival grants a fresh 180-day stay. However, if you are inside an Immigration-granted 180-day extension, leaving Thailand ends that extension, so plan travel dates around the extension window.

In practice you can file about 30-45 days before your current permitted stay ends, and you must always file before the expiry date — filing one day late already counts as overstay. Bring form TM.7, photos, copies of every stamped passport page, the TM30 residence notification receipt, and the supporting documents for your extension category. The fee is THB 1,900. We pre-check the whole bundle so you are not sent away to re-do paperwork.

TM30 is the duty of the house owner, condo owner or possessor of the residence to notify immigration within 24 hours of a foreigner taking up residence. The 90-day report (TM.47) is the foreigner's own duty to report their current address after 90 continuous days in Thailand, filed in person, by post or online from 15 days before until 7 days after the due date. They are separate obligations, and an up-to-date TM30 is regularly requested when you file TM.7.

For those who surrender voluntarily the general framework is: over 90 days overstay means a 1-year ban, over 1 year a 3-year ban, over 3 years a 5-year ban, and over 5 years a 10-year ban. Those arrested face longer bans starting at 5 years. A fine of THB 500 per day applies up to THB 20,000. If you already have an overstay, get advice before flying out, because the order of steps affects what is recorded in the system.

A re-entry permit preserves your existing permission to stay when you leave Thailand; without it the extension is void the moment you depart. Single costs THB 1,000 and suits one trip before your next renewal, while multiple costs THB 3,800 and pays off from roughly four departures within the same permission period. You can apply at an immigration office or at the airport counter before check-in.
