With a Thailand Elite Visa, you can stay in Thailand for several years and enjoy numerous benefits. However, you are still required to report your address to the Thai immigration authorities every 90 days. Fortunately, thanks to the Thailand Privilege Bonus Program, this reporting requirement is significantly easier for holders of a Thailand Elite Visa.

How to report to the immigration authorities every 90 days

You must register with the Thai Immigration Bureau no earlier than 15 days before the 90th day of your continuous stay in Thailand. This is mandatory for most foreigners, including holders of an elite visa, as they formally hold a tourist visa. Fortunately, the days when appearing in person at the Thai Immigration Bureau was the only option are over.

Here are the ways you can report your current address to immigration authorities:

  • In person at the Thai immigration office on Chaengwattana Street
  • via an authorized representative
  • Via the online system

    • Please note: If you miss the 15-day deadline, you must report in person to the immigration authorities no later than 7 days after its expiry. Failure to comply with this deadline will result in a fine of 2,000 THB.

    Alternatively, if you wish to avoid the hassle, you can leave Thailand. Upon your return, your 90-day period restarts at 1 day, and you only need to fulfill the requirement after you have stayed in the country continuously for another 90 days.

    Get support for your 90-day report

    As a Thailand Elite Visa holder, you enjoy an advantage over other visa holders when it comes to reporting. Others may have to either pay fees or obtain a power of attorney for a representative to receive assistance. With a Thailand Elite Visa, however, you only need your Thailand Privilege Points.

    With one point, you gain access to the 90-day reporting service of an Elite Personal Liaison (EPL). The EPL is an official Thailand Privilege Agent who gathers all the necessary documents for the process and submits them to the immigration authorities on your behalf. EPLs have the expertise to complete the reporting on your behalf and ensure the process runs smoothly. You can rest assured that your 90-day report is in expert hands.

    Please note that this service is only valid for the respective reporting period. If you wish to commission an external service provider (EPL) to prepare your report after a further 90 days, you will need to complete an additional step. To commission an external service provider, simply call the Member Contact Centre (MCC), which is available 24/7, and ask for assistance.

    What do you need to provide?

    As part of the registration process, you will need to fill out a number of forms and submit certain documents, including:

  • Completed and signed 90-day reporting form (TM.47)
  • Registration form for the residence of foreign nationals (TM.30)

    • Once you have gathered all the required documents, send them to your EPL representative, who will then forward them to the Thai immigration authorities responsible for your registration. They will provide you with information on how to submit the documents. Alternatively, you can also submit the documents in person at Thailand Privilege's main office in Sathorn (please refer to the monthly newsletter for submission dates).

    EPL will contact you if any documents are missing or if the Thai immigration officer requires further documentation. Once your registration is complete, you can collect your passport from the Thailand Privilege office on weekdays between 9:00 AM and 4:30 PM.
