Important: This guide provides general information, not legal, immigration, tax, employment, or nationality advice. Requirements and local procedures can change. Confirm the current rules with the responsible Thai authority, embassy, consulate, immigration office, or qualified professional.

Immigration Jurisdiction Usually Follows Residence

The office responsible for an extension or report is generally linked to the applicant’s current address. Moving provinces or districts can therefore change where future filings must be made.

Before the Move

Keep copies of the current extension file, receipts, under-consideration documents, 90-day reports, and accommodation notifications. Ask whether a pending application should remain with the original office.

After the Move

Update accommodation reporting and any other required address records. Prepare the new lease or ownership evidence, house-registration copy, owner identification, map, and spouse documents as requested.

90-Day Reporting

A change of address can affect reporting details and sometimes the accepted method. Confirm whether online reporting remains available after the move and whether an in-person update is needed first.

Next Annual Extension

Contact the new office well before renewal. Local copy counts, photographs, witnesses, bank evidence, and appointment practices may differ from the prior office.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I renew at my old immigration office after moving?

Usually jurisdiction follows the current residence, but confirm with both offices.

Should I keep my previous extension file?

Yes. A complete copy helps show continuity and resolve questions.

Does a move require new accommodation reporting?

Often yes, depending on the circumstances and current reporting rules.
