This guide will provide you with an overview of the 90-day online reporting in Thailand.

One of the duties of foreigners holding a Thai visa is reporting at the Immigration Bureau every 90 days. In 2015, reporting had to be in person at a designated place, however, it is no longer necessary as foreigners can now do the reporting online.

Let’s see how it’s done.

What is 90-day reporting in Thailand?

Foreigners who are staying in Thailand on a long-term non-immigrant visa or extension of stay are required to report your current address to the immigration every 90 days, which is called the 90-day reporting.

Deadline for the 90-day reporting

You should file the report 15 days before, or seven days after the 90-day period expires.

The 90-day reporting can be made in person, by an agent, by mail or online.

Filing the 90-day reporting online

To be able to file the 90-day reporting online, you must have reported your current visa or visa of extension in person or by mail at least once in the past.

You will not be able to complete the filing online if it is your first reporting or you have recently changed your passport. Before submitting the online reporting, you must check the expiry date of the stay permit in your passport to ensure that you have not overstayed.

The online application must be submitted within 15 days of the due date. For example, if the due date is 18 March 2020, you can submit the application from 4 March 2020.
