4.1) 1-year Reporting to the Immigration bureau at the One Stop Service Center for Visa and Work Permit

1. Smart Visa holders staying in Thailand for a period longer than 1 year consecutively are required to report the current address to the Immigration at One Stop Service Center for Visa and Work Permit (OSS) either in person, or by authorizing someone to report for you on your behalf. This report must be done on a yearly basis counting from Smart Visa issuance date (15 days before or 7 days after the date specified on 1-year report notification card). However, in the case of re-entering the Kingdom, the report will be due in 1 year from the date of the latest arrival.

The documents required to be submitted to the immigration are as follows.

• TM.91 Form (completely filled out and signed)
• Passport
• T.M. 6 Card (arrival/departure card)
• 1-Year report notification card (if any) *
• T.M. 61 Form (For authorized person reporting on behalf of smart visa holder who lives in Bangkok)

* If Smart Visa is issued at Royal Thai Embassy/ Consulate-General, Smart Visa holders will not receive a 1-year report notification card. In such case, the report will be due in 1 year from the latest arrival date specified on the arrival stamp.

Remarks: Smart Visa extension is NOT considered the same as Smart Visa issuance. Therefore, even Smart Visa holders have recently extended their Smart Visa, they are still required to refer to the 1-year report notification card for the date of 1-year report (except in case of re-entering the Kingdom). For example, an extension from 6-month Smart “S” to 2-year Smart “S” does not mean that the 1-year report is due in 1 year from the Smart Visa extension date.

4.2) Online 1-year Status Reporting to the Smart Visa Unit

In addition to the above 1-year reporting requirement, Smart Visa holders must SEPARATELY report their status and eligibility for Smart Visa to the Smart Visa Unit by filing STATUS REPORT FORM OF THE SMART VISA HOLDER with supporting documents and email to smartvisa@boi.go.th on a yearly basis counting from the issuance date of the notification letter.

The required documents are as follows.
