The 90-day report is a mandatory notification of address every foreigner staying long-term in Thailand must file every 90 days. Retirement Visa holders file online, in person at Phuket Immigration, or by post. Late filing can trigger a fine up to 2,000 THB and complicates the yearly Retirement Visa extension. Final approval rests with Thai authorities.
What is the 90-day report?
Section 37(5) of the Immigration Act requires every foreigner staying continuously in Thailand for more than 90 days to notify Immigration of their current address. The clock resets every time you leave Thailand and return. The report is free when filed on time; late filing triggers a fine and an entry in your record.
Who must file it?
- Holders of a Non-Immigrant O retirement visa with an extension of stay.
- Holders of a Non-Immigrant O-A long-stay retirement visa.
- Other long-stay foreigners who have been continuously in Thailand for 90 days or more.
- Re-counts after every international entry — a short trip resets the 90-day clock.
90-day report for Retirement Visa holders
For retirees on the standard Non-O extension or Non-OA path, the 90-day report becomes the most frequent Immigration touchpoint between yearly extensions. We help retirees set up the online account on the first visit so subsequent reports can be filed from home in a few minutes.
Online reporting
The online system (TM47 online) is the simplest route for retirees in Phuket. You can file your next report in the window of 15 days before to 7 days after the due date. The system returns a confirmation that should be saved — we recommend keeping both the PDF and a screenshot.
In-person reporting in Phuket
Phuket Immigration accepts in-person 90-day reports at the office in Phuket Town. Bring your passport, the most recent TM47 receipt or confirmation, and your TM30 address record. In-person is sometimes the only path if the online system rejects your record because TM30 is missing.
Late filing and fines
Late 90-day reports trigger a fine up to 2,000 THB per occurrence. Repeated late filing can complicate the next yearly extension. If you miss a report, file as soon as possible — do not wait for the next due date. Phuket counters can clear the fine and the filing on the same visit.
90-day report vs TM30
TM30 is filed by your landlord when you move into a property. The 90-day report is filed by you on a 90-day cycle. The two are linked — the 90-day report uses your TM30 address — but they are separate filings. See the TM30 guide.
90-day report vs re-entry permit
A re-entry permit keeps your retirement visa valid when you leave Thailand. The 90-day report tracks where you live while you are still in Thailand. They serve different purposes and are not interchangeable. See the re-entry permit guide.
Notice: A short international trip resets the 90-day clock. The next 90-day report is due 90 days after the re-entry date, not 90 days after the previous report.
