farangene Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 I have been living at same address in Bangkok for the last several years on a retirement visa. I am moving later this month to a another location in Bangkok and wonder about the procedure to report the change of address to Immig. My next 90 day report date is next week. Can I just show up and tell them I am at a new address at that time with no other paperwork required? OR Do I have to get a notarized certificate of the new address from my embassy? I legally have both new and old addresses as my residence during the month of January. My visa expires in April so can I wait until then to change my address which will coincide with my next 90 day report?. If so, will a notarized statement from the embassy be required or can I just report it as part of the paperwork? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo H Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Just go along to the immigration and complete the relevant form. Last time I went there was no need to bring along any notarized certs etc, just obviously your passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Careful with the date you give for change of address. It should be reported within 24 hours. (See point 4 of your TM 6 -card) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went yesterday (Jan 31) to the Bkk Suan Phlu immigration office to report an address change effective Jan 20. The kind lady in room 401 generously reminded me that I must report address changes within 24 hours, or pay a 2,000 baht fine. She then allowed me the change the new address date on the form to Jan 30 so that I complied with the regulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thetyim Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I have just had to do this and agree with all of the above. I do it thru the post so it is very easy. Exactly the same as a normal 90 day report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astral Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Your landlord will also need to inform immigration of your arrival at the new address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny Valentine Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 What happens with the 90 Day rule in such a case? Say, I report change of address on Day 45. When do I have to report again? At the old 90 Day date, or 90 Days from report of change of address? Sunny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess would be 90 days from the report of the change of address but I don't have personal experience of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Simple rule: no report due if outside of country; otherwise it is due 90 days (plus/minus 7) from date you last reported on TM.47 (address report) or TM.6 (entry card). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The visit to immigration to pick up your extension has nothing to to with the 90 day report time period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
