Who this applies to
Long-term visitors and residents, including Thailand Privilege members, who need to distinguish current permission to stay from visa validity and reporting obligations.
Timeline at a glance
- On arrivalInspect the admitted-until date before leaving the checkpoint.
- During the stayTrack it independently from visa and 90-day dates.
- Before it endsArrange an eligible extension or departure in time.
- After any extensionMake the latest extension stamp the current reference.
Where to find it
Look at the latest arrival stamp placed in your passport, or the latest extension stamp if Immigration later extended your stay. Use the newest applicable stamp, not an older entry.
Why it may be shorter than expected
Thailand Privilege says PE holders are generally granted up to one year per entry, but passport or PE visa validity can result in a shorter permission. The stamp is the date to inspect.
Three clocks to keep separate
- Admitted-until: current permission to remain.
- PE visa expiry: validity of the visa document.
- 90-day notification: recurring address reporting while continuously present.
What to do when a date looks wrong
Raise the issue immediately with Immigration or Thailand Privilege, ideally before leaving the airport or office. Thaimly can record and remind you about a confirmed date; it cannot correct an official stamp.
Common mistakes
- Recording the visa expiry as the admitted-until date.
- Using the next 90-day date as permission to remain.
- Failing to update the record after an extension.
- Ignoring a stamp that appears shorter or different than expected.
Frequently asked questions
Is admitted-until the same as visa expiry?
No. They describe different things and can show different dates.
Does 90-day reporting extend admitted-until?
No. The official TM.47 form states that the notification is not an extension of stay.
What if I cannot read the stamp?
Ask Immigration or Thailand Privilege to confirm it. Do not rely only on OCR or a calculated guess.
