90-day report by mail – EMS your passport to the immigration office
Certain Immigration offices are now accepting the TM 47 by mail, It must be mailed seven to fifteen days before
reporting is due. When sending in your TM47 application there is no need to mail your original passport. If applying by post you need to send the following documents:

- Previous notice of staying over 90 days
- Completely filled in and signed form TM. 47
- Envelope with ten baht stamp affixed and return address so that they can send back the bottom part of form TM. 47. After receipt of the bottom part of the TM47 back to you this must be inserted inside your passport. It is always advisable to send your notice by EMS Registered mail. Likewise, have the return envelope affixed with an EMS mail stamp then you can track the whereabouts of the application throughout the process.
