January 14, 201214 yr Sorry if this is somewhere, the search brings up lots of threads, but none of the ones I read tell me what I need to take. I presume a form from immigration, but anything else, like a passport photocopy, photo, fee? Some of the threads mention a bank statement, but I thought that was only for retirement extension ( just done that ). I'll be in trouble if I need 800,000 in the bank for 3 months. Thanks.
January 14, 201214 yr Need to know where you are as the requirements have a tendency to be different between offices.
January 14, 201214 yr Yes the details vary by office for the 90 day reports, but have never heard of any office needing anything about your bank account simply to do an address report. Also, does any office actually demand a PHOTO for address reports? Never heard of that.

January 14, 201214 yr Author Thanks. I'll be reporting in person at the Chiang Mai office. I thought it a bit strange about the bank statement requirement, as everything else that I'd read said the money is only required for the extension, but it was mentioned in a couple of 90 day threads.

In that case, I use the CM office and all is required is the filled and signed TM47 and copy of your passport plus the departure card also signed on all copies. No proof of address has been required as with some other offices nor show of funds.

January 14, 201214 yr You can download the TM47 and fill it out in advance here > http://www.immigration.go.th/nov2004/download/tm47.doc
January 14, 201214 yr In KKC immigration wants copies of the passport photo page, last entry, last extension, departure card and a filled out form. Passport too, of course. Oh, and last reporting slip. No fee, no photo, no money in the bank. Many places accept reporting by mail. All of the above plus a stamped (10baht stamp) self addressed return envelope. By mail it needs to be on or before the due date. If in person I think you can do it up to a week after the date.
January 14, 201214 yr Did my first 90 day in Chiang Mai a couple of weeks ago. Five minutes. Freaking unbelievable. And that's with my not understanding I didn't need photocopies, or not having filled out the form in advance. The place was packed too. A very surreal experience, actually.
January 15, 201214 yr When I go to do my 90 day. I make sure I have the proper form filled out in advance.. I also have copies available of what ever I think they may ask for. On the Thai Immigration site last of requirements for paperwork for any transaction at Immigration it says. OR ANY OTHER DOCUMATION THE OFFICER MAY REQUIRE. Which is a catch all. Be prepaired but do not give them they do not ask for. Due to the floods I have had to use 2 different offices to do my 90 day reports and the requirement was never the same at any one office. My home office Pathum Thani only requires the proper form and nothing else. It is always a special adventure going to Immigration and seeing what they want other than the published requirements. So I play the game and try to be one step a head of them at all times. Also remember be polite , smile , dress properly not like a hobo which some do. If you go in with a bad attitude you will not get anything accomplished.

Can you tell me what time of day you arrived, thanks? Around 3PM. It's not entirely obvious, but when you enter the desk you want to go to is across the room on the left.
