Thailand forms
Immigration forms come from multiple agencies. The right form depends on whether your process is consular or handled in-country. VisaMind provides guides, checklists, and common pitfalls based on official sources — not legal advice or eligibility decisions.

Most common forms
General
The TM.7 form, officially known as the 'Visa Extension Application,' is issued by the Immigration Bureau.
- When you need to extend your current nonimmigrant status before it expires
- When you want to change from one nonimmigrant classification to another eligible status
- If your current status allows extension or change under the official instructions
- Tourist — Extend tourist visa/exemption by 30 days
- Non-immigrant-b — Extend Non-B visa to 1 year
- Non-immigrant-oa — Annual retirement visa extension
- When filing TM.7 alongside TM-6 (TM.6 required for extension)
- After filing TM.7 — VISA-APPLICATION may be the next step (Extend stay after arrival on visa)
- Incomplete form submission.
- Missing photographs.
- Inconsistent information with previous entries.
TM.47 is an official Immigration Bureau form known as the "90-Day Notification of Staying Report."
- NON-IMMIGRANT-B: Non-Immigrant Visa B (Business/Work)
- NON-IMMIGRANT-OA: Non-Immigrant Visa O-A (Retirement)
- NON-IMMIGRANT-ED: Non-Immigrant Visa ED (Education)
