What this document is
TM.14 (ตม.14, “คำขอเข้ามามีถิ่นที่อยู่ในราชอาณาจักรตามเดิม”) is an application to the Thai Immigration Commission asking that a foreigner keep the permanent residence granted to them earlier.
It is filed by a holder of a certificate of residence (ใบสำคัญถิ่นที่อยู่) who left Thailand and did not return within the time allowed by the re-entry permit, or left without obtaining one at all. The Commission decides — filing does not guarantee that the status is restored.
What the form asks for
- place and date of writing (Buddhist Era year, พ.ศ.);
- title (Mr./Mrs./Miss), family name, first name, middle name, age and nationality;
- TM form, number, place and date of issue of the certificate of residence;
- re-entry permit number, place and date of issue and the valid-until date — if there was one;
- transport, where you arrived from, port and date of arrival;
- the statement to the Commission: reasons, ties to Thailand, request;
- who wrote the application and their address;
- a 4×6 cm photo and the applicant’s and writer’s signatures — by hand.
Documents usually attached
- passport and copies of the data page and departure/arrival stamps;
- the certificate of residence and, if any, the re-entry permit;
- a 4×6 cm photograph (the form has a box for it);
- documents explaining the delay (e.g. medical certificates) and evidence of ties to Thailand — family, work, home.
The exact document list, fees and processing time are set by immigration — check with the office before filing.
