90-Day Report & TM30 Notification

Two small obligations that cause big headaches

Foreigners staying long-term in Thailand have two recurring reporting duties:

• The 90-day report (TM47): every 90 days of continuous stay, you confirm your current address with Immigration.
• The TM30 notification: whenever a foreigner stays at a property, the owner or landlord must notify Immigration of that residence.

Neither is difficult, but both are easy to forget, and a missing TM30 can hold up your next visa extension. NomadNest files both for you in Chiang Mai.

Who needs this

You need a 90-day report if you hold a long-stay visa or extension, such as a DTV, an education visa, a retirement extension or a Non-B visa, and you stay in Thailand for more than 90 days without leaving.

You need a TM30 receipt whenever you move or return to an address, and Immigration will usually ask for it when you apply for an extension or a change of visa.

How our service works

Your first report: door-to-door

The first time you use our 90-day report service, a team member comes to your residence in Chiang Mai to collect your passport and TM30 receipt. We file the report and return your passport and the new receipt to you on the same day the report is completed. You do not need to visit Immigration.

Reports after that

Once we have your details, keep them up to date with us (for example, if you move or travel) and we will complete each 90-day report at the right time.

TM30 for your address

If your landlord or hotel has not filed a TM30, or you have moved, we can file it for you. We usually need your passport, your address and the property owner’s details; a copy of your rental contract helps.

Key dates

• The 90-day count starts from your latest entry into Thailand or your last report.
• You can usually file from 15 days before the due date until 7 days after.
• Leaving Thailand resets the count. Your next report is due 90 days after you come back.
• Late reports are fined by Immigration, so tell us early if you are travelling around a due date.

Why it matters

A missing or late 90-day report leads to a fine, and a missing TM30 can delay an extension or a change of visa. Keeping both in order is the simplest way to make your next visa application go smoothly.

Travelling around a due date

If you plan to leave Thailand close to your report date, tell us before you go. Leaving resets the 90-day count, so a report may not be needed at all. If you hold an extension of stay, remember you also need a re-entry permit before you leave, or the extension ends at departure.
