Thai Immigration Holidays 2026/2027: Don't Get Caught Out
Visiting Thai Immigration for visa applications, extensions, or 90-day reports requires planning.
Offices are closed on official holidays, and failing to account for these dates can result in missed deadlines, late fees, or extra trips.
This guide lists the Thai Immigration holidays for 2026 and 2027 and offers practical advice to avoid delays and stay compliant with reporting requirements.
Why You Should Plan Around Holidays
Immigration offices are closed on official public holidays. If your 90-day report, visa extension, or other submission falls on or immediately after a holiday, you risk being late and may incur fines.
Planning ahead allows you to submit forms, pay fees, and avoid long queues after holidays when offices reopen.

Tips for Planning Around Holidays
- Check your 90-day report or visa deadlines early
Don’t wait until the last day. Holidays can fall immediately before or after your due date, so plan submissions a few days in advance. - Submit forms early if possible
If your reporting period overlaps a holiday, submit your TM47 or visa paperwork a few days early to avoid office closures. - Keep official receipts and proof of submission
If you submit before a holiday, retain receipts and stamps in case Immigration questions your timing. - Use online reporting when available
Some provinces allow online TM47 reporting. Check if your local office offers this, especially around holidays, but note that online submission may close on the official holiday itself. - Plan for queues after holidays
Offices often see heavier traffic immediately after a public holiday. If you must submit around that time, allow extra time for waiting. - Check for substitution dates
Some holidays are moved to a weekday if they fall on a weekend. Make sure to confirm the actual closure date for your local office.
Final Words
Knowing Thai Immigration holidays in advance helps you avoid missed reporting deadlines, fines, or unnecessary stress. Mark your calendar for 2026 and 2027, plan submissions early, and keep copies of all forms and receipts.
Have a great year
