How to apply for STR 2027?

If you are applying for the first time, you can choose either of these methods:

1. Manual application: Visit a nearby HASiL office to obtain and submit the application form.

2. Online application: Access the official STR portal from 15 October 2026 and follow the instructions to submit a new application.

Before submitting your application, make sure the information you provide is accurate and up to date.

Already receiving STR? Check whether you need to update your details

Not everyone needs to submit a new application. If you already have an STR application, check your circumstances first.

You should update your existing application if any of your details have changed. You are also required to update it if you have not done so for three consecutive years during STR 2024, STR 2025 and STR 2026.

If your information remains unchanged and your application does not fall under the three-year update requirement, an update is generally not necessary. The supplied guidance also states that applicants in the senior citizen and interior categories do not need to update their details if nothing has changed.

However, if you cannot find your existing application on the STR portal, you will need to submit a new application.

Forgotten your MySTR password?

If you have forgotten your password, cannot answer your security question or are having problems with an invalid email address, contact the Government Special Assistance Hotline (BKK) at (1-800-88-2747) for assistance with resetting or deleting your MySTR account.

How much will you receive under STR 2027?

The payment amount depends on the eligibility category and the government's announced arrangements. The information provided for this article does not confirm the final payment rates or income limits for STR 2027.

Applicants should check the official STR portal for the latest eligibility requirements, payment details and announcements before relying on any estimated figures.

If you are planning to apply for STR 2027, take a few minutes to review your details and prepare the information you need. Checking early can help you avoid unnecessary delays or missing an update that applies to your application.
