The 90-day report applies when you stay in Thailand for more than 90 consecutive days on one entry. That covers most DTV, retirement and Non-Immigrant O family stays. The count starts at your entry or last report. Some special programmes have lighter reporting, so check your category, and note that an extension can change your due date.
People often ask whether a long-term visa makes the 90-day report disappear. For most, it does not. The visa lets you stay longer, and the report confirms where you live.
Figures and procedures in this guide were checked at the time of writing and can change. Always confirm with the official source or in your free pre-check.
DTV holders
A DTV allows long stays per entry. When you stay more than 90 consecutive days on one entry, you are generally expected to report. Counting restarts when you leave and re-enter. Confirm the current rule for your DTV with the Immigration Bureau, as practice is still developing. See the DTV visa service for the visa itself.
Retirement stays
Retirement extensions of stay and long-stay O-A or O-X visas require regular reporting while you stay. Missing it can slow your annual renewal. Our retirement visa service includes tracking of the report together with the renewal.
Non-Immigrant O family stays
Stays based on a Thai spouse or child follow the same 90-day logic. Keep the report slip together with your extension documents, because both are asked for at the renewal.
Reporting by visa type
Rules and practice differ. This is how guides and consulate pages describe it.
| Visa | Reporting | Where to read more |
|---|---|---|
| DTV | The 90-day report while you stay more than 90 consecutive days on one entry, so at least one report within an entry of up to 180 days | DTV key facts |
| Retirement extension | Regular reporting alongside the yearly renewal | Renewal timing |
| Marriage-based extension | The same 90-day logic after the yearly extension | Marriage visa guide |
| LTR | Reported once a year | LTR visa |
| SMART | Reported as a yearly check-in | SMART visa guide |
What can change your due date
- A new entry after travel abroad restarts the count.
- A new visa or an extension can reset what the office records.
- A change of address needs a report that matches where you live now.
Where the TM30 comes in
Reporting your address is not the same as the residence notification (TM30) made by your landlord or hotel. Both exist, and the offices sometimes ask for both. See the TM30 explained.
One person for the whole calendar
If you hold a long-term visa, you also have an annual extension and possibly a re-entry permit. Our 90-day report service tracks all dates in one place, so nothing slips.
Papers to keep together
Keep the latest report slip, your extension page and the TM30 confirmation in one folder. Offices ask for the slip at renewals, and the extension page proves which date you are working from.
We check your case first and handle the paperwork, so you avoid wasted trips and fees.
