poochai Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I'm on a retirement visa. What documents do I need for the 90-day reporting at the Immigration Office? Do I need to provide photos? Are there fees that I have to pay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2008bangkok Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 You need to fill out the form that they give you and your passport, no other forms needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) There's a basic set of requirements used at most Immigration offices... But then there are some that add on their own additional items... So to get the correct, complete answer, it requires knowing what office you need to report to, based on where you live? And also whether you're planning to do the report in person or via mail? The basics for in-person reporting include the TM47 90 day reporting form itself, the original receipt slip from your last prior 90 day report, and bringing along your passport with its airport departure card stapled inside. There is no fee for doing the 90 day report in person or by mail. And no photo is required. As stated above, some individual offices also are asking for other items when handling in-person reports. If by mail, you should add photocopies of your passport face page and other passport page photocopies showing your current visa or extension stamp, and most recent entry stamp into Thailand, and a photocopy of your TM6 airport departure card. Also a self-addressed envelope with a 10 baht stamp affixed for them to return your receipt. There is a recent TV thread that highlights the different things that some upcountry Immigration offices have been asking for lately.... though BKK has only been asking for the basics.

poanoi Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 How far ahead of the expiry date of that 90 day reporting can i go there for report ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Window is 15 days before to 7 days after reporting date. If this is your first report you will not have a TM.47 receipt. You can download and fill out/print with computer to have ready. Once report made be sure to staple receipt on last page of your passport so does not get lost.

I need to go in for my reporting in the next few days. I just noticed my departure card is torn in 2...1/2 is missing. And of course, it's the part with the stamp. Will I run into issues with this???? Thx!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the agent at the desk let the form just hang outside the passport, rather than folding it in 1/2 as they normally do. In my jet lagged state of mind, I probably didn't even notice and just shoved the passport into my pocket or into a bag...and when I emptied everything at home, didn't notice that piece of paper, wherever it was.

Needless to say, Lopburi's advice above is correct... I'd only add, the 7 days after timeframe only applies for in-person reporting... If reporting by mail, you need to have it arrive at the destination Immigration office before your actual deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, you do have the same latest entry stamp that should appear on your airport card on one of your passport pages as well, right? So even if your card is missing the stamp portion, they can see the same stamp in your passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I suspect as long as the serial number is there it will not be a major issue. Is it required because of a new reporting period? If yes just find your arrival stamp in passport so you can show them if asked (to prove the 90 day period). Arrivals are on computer these days so should not have to make a day search of old cards to find as did happen to some in the past. Do you have a copy of the departure card? Actually that is a valid question as it is required for each extension of stay and when eight years old, as mine is, they do get a bit fragile. And mine is the think card stock type. Many of us keep copy on computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigt3365 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Yes, I am doing a 90 day reporting. I don't have the number on the departure card. That part is missing. I do see a stamp just under the form...so looks like I am good to go. Are you saying you have a departure card from 8 years ago? You've been "in country" for a long time! I leave at least 2 times every year...so get a new one all the time. Next year I would like to do a trip to Cambodia and then one to Myanmar...but we'll see how things turn out. Thanks for all your help!!! Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelhammer Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I'm searching this forum but I couldn't find an answer yet. Do I need a special authority form if my wife is doing the 90 day report for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 No, you use the regular form and answer the questions on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
