spambot Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Last time I did a 90 days report was on the back of a retirement extension and after being in Bangkok continuously for five years. However I have just returned from UK with an new O-A Visa and I am not sure if this changes what is needed for my first report. 1. While technically I am actually changing to a new address - I am not changing from a Thailand address to a new address in Thailand - So Do I need to complete a TM 28 (change of address) form? 2. Since I am renting a condominium do I need to take my rental agreement ? > If so.... Do I also need to take a signed photocopy of the owners ID card and house book? > If so.... Which house book (Blue / Yellow)? 3. Is there a report form I am supposed to complete and take? > The only form I can find is the TM30 form, but this seems to be the responsibility of the condo owner - Is there any repercussions if this has not been done (prior to my reporting)? 4. My passport was stamped into Thailand 10th Oct 2018 and by my calculation the report date will be 8th Jan 2018, but as I understand the 90-day reporting can actually be done up to 14 days prior or 7 days after the reporting date - Is this correct? 5. Do I need photocopies of my passport ID and visa page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontious Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I thought you had to leave the country every 90 days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muggi1968 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 (edited) I only fill out the TM47 formular, show the original passport and TM6 arrival card.... Done or you can try online:https://extranet.immigration.go.th/fn90online/online/tm47/TM47Action.do (If you have a 1 year visa) Edited October 30, 2017 by Muggi1968 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not with a non-oa visa that allows unlimited a one year entries for 1 year from the date of issue. You are confusing it with a non-o visa that only allows a 90 day entry.

Muggi1968 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 The Non-O (90 days visa ) can be extended for 1 year if you have work, are married, study etc. without leaving the country.. Did the military not stop for the "Visa runs" so you can not just leave and come back ever 90 days ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 At Bangkok immigration you will likely only need to complete a TM47 ( TM47 Form Fillable.pdf ) form for the first report. Take some proof of address with you incase they ask for it. They don't require a TM30 form. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only tightened up on visa exempt entries and now only 2 per calendar year at land borders can be done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mnnnn the online option sounds like a good idea, but can you do this on your very first report? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just passport, TH47 and departure card. I did take a copy of my rental contract but it wasn't asked for.

Thanks OJAS I guess the rationale for your suggestion is that if there are any problems I can identify them in real time and should focus on getting the right data into the system. The reporting (online) then is just simply confirmation nothing has changed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only ask because I will be arriving in BKK with a non-imm O-A and will have no flights or journeys booked to leave Thailand so theoretically I won’t have a departure card, will I?

Yes, you will have the departure portion of the TM.6, immigration will keep the arrival portion, you will need the departure part when you eventually leave.

There are two parts of the TM6 card one for arrival and the other is for departure. You don't need to complete the flight number space on the departure card until you leave the country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wont have an arrivals card because you hand that in as you go through immigration. You will have the departure card as that is the part you are left with. I do believe they are soon to change the card and 2 become one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it works it will save you a trip to immigration and if it doesn't, you have to go anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure regarding the online reporting, but I did postal reporting from the very first time on the non O/A, no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
