Re-entry Permits
TM30 /90 Days Report
Single/Multiple Re-entry Permit
A re-entry permit is essential for those who need to leave Thailand temporarily but wish to maintain the validity of their current visa upon returning. Without this permit, the visa would be canceled upon exit, and the holder would have to apply for a new visa to re-enter Thailand.
There are two types of re-entry permits:
- Single Re-entry Permit: Allows one exit and re-entry.
- Multiple Re-entry Permit: Allows unlimited exits and re-entries during the visa's validity period.
This permit is particularly useful for those on long-term visas, a Non-Immigrant B Visa, Non O Retirement Visa who may need to travel frequently.
TM30
The TM30 is a form required in Thailand for reporting the residence of a foreign national. It is part of the Immigration Bureau's efforts to keep track of where foreigners are staying while in the country.
What is the TM30 Form?
The TM30 form is an official document used by landlords, property owners, or hotel managers to report the presence of foreign nationals residing in their property to the Thai Immigration Bureau.
Who Needs to Report?
- Property Owners/Landlords: If you own a property and are hosting a foreign national, you must file a TM30 report.
- Hotels and Guesthouses: Managers of hotels, guesthouses, or any establishment providing accommodation to foreigners must also file the TM30.
- Foreign Tenants: While the obligation primarily lies with the property owner or manager, foreign tenants should ensure that this requirement is fulfilled, as it can affect their visa status.
When to Report?
The TM30 form must be submitted within 24 hours of the foreign national's arrival at the property. If the foreign national changes their place of residence within Thailand, a new TM30 must be submitted within 24 hours of their arrival at the new address.
How to Report?
The TM30 can be reported in several ways:
- In Person: At the local Immigration Office.
- Online: Through the official Thai Immigration website or the TM30 mobile app.
Required Documents:
- Completed TM30 form.
- Copy of the foreigner’s passport (identification page and visa page).
- Copy of the property owner’s ID (for Thai nationals) or passport (for foreigners).
- Copy of the property title deed or rental contract.
Keeping the TM30 updated and in compliance with Thai immigration laws helps avoid unnecessary complications and ensures a smooth stay in Thailand.
90 Days Report
The 90-day report is a requirement for foreign nationals staying in Thailand on a long-term visa. It involves reporting your current address to Thai Immigration every 90 days.
What is the 90-Day Report?
The 90-day report is a process that foreign nationals must complete to inform the Thai Immigration Bureau of their current residential address. It is required for anyone holding a long-term visa, such as a Non-Immigrant Visa, staying in Thailand for more than 90 days.
What Happens If You Leave Thailand?
If you leave Thailand and re-enter, the 90-day count resets. The first report after re-entry must be made 90 days after the new entry date.
When to Report?
- Initial Report: The first report must be made 90 days after your initial entry into Thailand.
- Subsequent Reports: Every 90 days thereafter. You can report 15 days before or up to 7 days after the 90-day mark.
How to Report?
- In Person: TVS Visa Services will visit the nearest Thai Immigration Office and submit, on your behalf, the TM47 form (90-Day Report form).
- Online: You can submit the report online through the Thai Immigration Bureau’s official website. The online system is not always available, so it’s advisable to check in advance.
Why is the 90-Day Report Important?
The 90-day report is crucial for maintaining compliance with Thai immigration laws. Failure to complete the report can lead to fines and potential complications with your visa status.
Ensuring that your 90-day report is on time helps to maintain a good standing with Thai immigration and avoid any unnecessary issues during your stay in Thailand.
