TM30 & 90-Day Reporting

Mandatory address notification (TM30) and 90-day reporting handled on your behalf, online or in-person, every cycle — never miss a filing.

  • TM30: the property owner/landlord must notify Immigration within 24 hours of a foreign national arriving at their address; late filing risks a fine of up to 2,000 THB.
  • 90-day report (TM47): required for anyone staying 90+ continuous days on a long-stay visa; file within 15 days before to 7 days after the due date.
  • Missing the window risks a 2,000 THB fine, rising to 5,000 THB plus 200 THB/day if caught non-compliant by an officer.
  • An up-to-date TM30 is often required before a 90-day report or extension will be accepted.

Summarized from Thai Immigration Act guidance as of July 2026 — your case manager tracks your specific due dates.

🔁

Re-Entry Permits & Visa Runs

Single and multiple re-entry permits to protect your visa status while traveling, plus escorted border/visa run arrangements.

  • Leaving Thailand without one voids your existing permission to stay — a re-entry permit is required first if you plan to come back on the same visa.
  • Single re-entry: 1,000 THB, valid for one exit, up to 3 months or your visa's remaining validity (whichever is shorter).
  • Multiple re-entry: 3,800 THB, unlimited exits/entries for up to 1 year or your visa's remaining validity (whichever is shorter).
  • A re-entry permit does not extend your permitted stay — it only preserves your current "admitted until" date.
  • Available at Immigration offices or major international airports before departure.

Summarized from Thai Immigration guidance as of July 2026.
