LTR Visa Unit reply on LTR annual reporting requirements below.
"Dear ____,
Greeting from LTR Visa Unit.
When you are outside of Thailand, there is no requirement for reporting. However, once you return to Thailand, you must report annually, starting from either the date of visa issuance or the most recent arrival into Thailand (whichever is later).
To clarify, you are only required to report to the Immigration if you stay continuously in Thailand for a period of 1 year without leaving.
If you leave Thailand before completing 1 year, based on the entry stamp in your passport, there is no obligation to report.
Additionally, if you are unable to personally go for reporting, you can authorize someone else to do it on your behalf.
LTR Visa holders residing in Thailand continuously for more than 1 year are required to report their current address to the local Immigration office of their residence. This report can be done either in person or by an authorized representative and must be completed annually from the LTR Visa issuance date. However, for individuals re-entering the Kingdom, the report will be due 1 year from the date of the latest arrival. LTR Visa holders can submit the report 15 days before or 7 days after the due date.
The necessary documents for this report include:
1. Passport
2. TM.95 Form (completely filled out and signed) [Download link: https://www.immigration.go.th/?avada_portfolio=คำสั่งสำนักงานตรวจคนเข-3 (Page 14)
3. T.M. 6 Card (or arrival/departure card if applicable)
4. 1-Year report notification card (if available)"
The following suggests I do not have to report because I travelled internationaly in December 2023 -- 2 months before planned annual reporting.
