Answers on documents supporting Thai immigration matters — extension of stay (TM.7), address notification (TM.30), 90-day reporting (TM.47) — and how supporting papers should be translated and certified, based on the Immigration Act B.E. 2522 and Immigration Bureau notifications. (24+ search topics covered)
Need your documents reviewed or your case assessed? Ask our team by phone, LINE, or email. We reply within two hours during business hours (Mon–Sat 9:00–18:00 ICT).
TM.30 address notification is the housemaster's duty; the 90-day report (TM.47) is the resident's. Neither is a visa extension.
Prefer not to handle the queues yourself, or worried about a rejection? Send us photos of your documents for a free pre-check. We handle the full chain — obtaining certified copies, translation, certification and submission — and keep you updated at each step. Reach us on LINE, phone or email during business hours.
Extending, changing visa category in-country, or leaving to re-apply abroad carry very different timelines and risks.
| Route | When to use | Certifying authority | Approx. duration | Rejection risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Extension of stay at an immigration office | You are still within your permitted stay and meet the criteria | Immigration Bureau | Variable — some offices decide same-day, others place the case under consideration | Filing on the last permitted day leaves no room to fix documents if more are requested |
| Change of visa category in-country | Your purpose of stay changed, e.g. tourism to employment or family | Immigration Bureau, under the published criteria | Variable — allow time for additional document requests | Too few days remaining under the criteria forces a fresh application from abroad |
| Apply for a new visa at a Thai embassy or consulate abroad | The category cannot be changed in-country, or the profile suits an overseas filing better | Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate-General abroad | Variable by post | Each post sets its own document list and residency conditions — verify before travelling |
Timelines above are practical estimates from live casework and can change with each authority's policy; confirm with the receiving authority before booking travel. If you would rather not test routes by trial and error, our advisers can assess which route fits your case.
Our team has worked on cross-border documents, certified translation and government liaison since 2015. Most rejections we see are not caused by missing paperwork but by choosing the wrong route on day one, so we always start with a case assessment.
We look at your destination, purpose and deadline, then tell you which certification route applies — and which steps you can skip.
Name spelling, consistency across documents, document age and translation format are checked before anything reaches a counter.
We sequence the steps around your appointment or travel date and flag bottlenecks in advance.
We read the refusal reasons, identify the underlying cause, and plan a resubmission that answers what the authority asked for.

Many countries set a minimum remaining validity and number of blank pages. Verify before your appointment.
Large deposits made shortly before filing attract questions. Support them with evidence of income and use statements bearing the bank's original seal.
Visa conditions change. Check the deciding authority's latest announcement, then use our service to prepare documents and translations that match those conditions.
Photograph all filing receipts and stamps; they are key evidence in any later verification.
Civil registry extracts, medical certificates and police clearances have limited validity; old copies make the bundle incomplete.
Accepted translator categories differ by country; confirm the required type before ordering.
Dates, addresses or travel history that conflict with supporting documents are a frequent refusal ground and may be read as misrepresentation.
No provider can guarantee an outcome; only the immigration authority or embassy decides. Our role is to make the file accurate and complete so avoidable rejections are reduced.
Requirements differ by authority and destination country and can change. Confirm current conditions with the receiving authority, or ask our team by phone, LINE or email.
These topics reflect the rules and practice of the relevant authorities and can change. Confirm with the receiving authority, or ask our team by phone, LINE or email.
One document set often moves through several stages — translation, notarial certification, legalization and finally a visa filing. The links below follow that real sequence.
Authority requirements change. Verify with the receiving authority before filing, or ask our team by phone, LINE or email.
Pick a translation provider by the destination, not by turnaround alone. If the file goes to the Thai Department of Consular Affairs or an embassy, the translator must know the format that office accepts, not just the meaning. Verify three things: the certifier is named and identifiable, the destination accepts that certification format, and names, dates and document numbers match the passport character for character.
| Option | Best for | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Freelance translator | Informal use where no authority certification is required | Many embassies will not accept an uncertified translation. |
| Translation agency with certification | Visa, study and civil registry filings | Confirm the agency also handles the legalization step if the destination requires it. |
| End-to-end provider (translate + legalize) | Files with a fixed appointment deadline | Ask which steps are in-house and which are subcontracted. |
