Service Knowledge Base
Thai immigration paperwork — questions foreigners actually ask
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)
What if the officer asks for more documents?
Ask for the missing items to be stated clearly, then supply them within the deadline given. We prepare the additional bundle and translations in the specified format so the application continues rather than restarting.
Which law governs immigration matters in Thailand?
The Immigration Act B.E. 2522 (1979), together with ministerial regulations and Immigration Bureau notifications. Detailed criteria sit in published Royal Thai Police orders that are amended periodically, so the current version should be checked before every filing.
Must the financial evidence be seasoned?
Extension categories based on a deposit require the funds to sit in the applicant's own account at a bank in Thailand for the amount and period set by regulation, both at filing and afterwards. Funds transferred in days before filing are normally not accepted.
Do foreign documents filed with immigration need translation?
Documents not in Thai or English normally need an accompanying translation, and officers frequently require the certification chain applicable to your nationality — your embassy in Thailand and/or MFA legalisation — before acceptance.
Can documents for an extension be submitted by a representative?
Practice varies by office and category. Some immigration offices accept a filing by an authorised representative with a power of attorney and copies certified by the applicant; others require the applicant's personal attendance, photographs at the residence, or a biometric step. Since attendance rules are set locally and change, we confirm with the receiving office before the appointment rather than assume.
How are foreign degrees certified for a work permit?
Generally they are certified in the issuing country and legalised by the Royal Thai Embassy there, or attested by that country's embassy in Thailand and then legalised by the MFA, with a Thai translation attached. The exact chain depends on the issuing country.
How should foreign documents supporting an extension of stay be prepared?
Foreign marriage certificates, children's birth certificates and financial confirmations are normally authenticated under the issuing country's system and by the Royal Thai Embassy there, or by apostille once the Convention enters into force for Thailand on 28 February 2027 where accepted. A Thai translation is then legalised by the Department of Consular Affairs before the document is attached. Check the validity period applied by the office, since some categories must have been issued within a limited window before filing.
Can an overstay be undone?
No. Overstay carries fines and can trigger statutory re-entry bans. We cannot remove those consequences, but we can prepare supporting documents and assist with contacting the authority through the correct procedure.

Service Playbook
Thai immigration compliance — TM.30, 90-day reports and re-entry
TM.30 address notification is the housemaster's duty; the 90-day report (TM.47) is the resident's. Neither is a visa extension.
Documents to prepare
- • Passport with the current entry stamp and departure card
- • Proof of address such as a lease or a housemaster letter
- • The housemaster's house registration and ID for TM.30
- • Your previous receipt for the next 90-day report
- • Re-entry permit application if you plan to travel
- • Power of attorney if someone files for you
Step-by-step process
- 1. File TM.30 on arrival at the address — The housemaster or landlord files within the statutory window.
- 2. Report at 90 days — In person, by post or online within the permitted window.
- 3. Obtain a re-entry permit before leaving — Single or multiple, depending on your travel plans.
- 4. Keep every receipt — Receipts support your next extension filing.
Pitfalls and rejection causes
- • Leaving without a re-entry permit ends your permission to stay.
- • A missing TM.30 can stall an extension.
- • The 90-day report has a fixed window — diarise it.
- • Overstay carries fines and future travel consequences.
Tips from our team
- • Set a reminder seven days before each deadline.
- • Photograph the entry stamp and every receipt.
- • File a new TM.30 whenever you move.

Practical Q&A
Practical questions · Near me / DIY / Required documents
Where do I lodge a visa application — must I go to the embassy?
Many countries outsource intake to visa application centres (VFS Global, TLScontact, BLS) with offices in Bangkok and some provinces; others accept lodgement at the embassy or fully online. Channels change by embassy announcement, so confirm the current route before booking. We can pre-check your document set and arrange appointments from any of our three offices.
Can I apply myself, or do I need an agency?
You can always apply yourself; no country requires an agent, and no agent can guarantee approval because the decision is at the consular officer's discretion. The value of assistance is assembling the file exactly to the official checklist, correct translation and certification format, and a focused cover letter.
What are the baseline documents?
Typically a passport with the validity and blank pages the destination requires, the completed application form, photos to the destination's specification, financial evidence for the stated period, proof of employment or study, travel and accommodation plans, and health insurance where required. Always follow that embassy's official checklist, as requirements differ by country.
Practical advice & cautions
Visa and immigration matters: advice and cautions
Before you start
Order documents to the authority's checklist
Assembling the bundle in the required order with an index speeds up assessment and reduces requests for more documents.
Read the official conditions first
Visa conditions change. Check the deciding authority's latest announcement, then use our service to prepare documents and translations that match those conditions.
Plan around expiry dates
Extensions, reporting and re-entry permits should be handled well ahead of the deadline; queues and public holidays can make last-minute filing impossible.
Keep every receipt and acknowledgement
Photograph all filing receipts and stamps; they are key evidence in any later verification.
Common reasons documents get rejected
Believing guaranteed-approval claims
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.
Translations the destination does not accept
Accepted translator categories differ by country; confirm the required type before ordering.
Ignoring post-approval obligations
Periodic reporting, address notification and work conditions are ongoing duties that affect the next extension.
Form data contradicting the attachments
Dates, addresses or travel history that conflict with supporting documents are a frequent refusal ground and may be read as misrepresentation.
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.
