But if you had read the thread you would see that this is a more specific case than “ when does 90 day start “ and not the answer you replied to.

Read the thread.

This is the key to my question. Some IO’s will use applying for Non imm O as the starting point while others will wait for the first extension, which is OVER 90 days, to enable the 90 days countdown. Makes no real difference just highlights the inconsistency in IO procedures. Thanks to all.

I think the answer to my initial question is: None of those, but possibly c) ???? Entering on a visa exempt, obtaining an extension to that and applying for an O visa ………. none of these allow a stay of more than 90 days and therefore do not trigger the 90 days countdown , MORE being the key word ( although some IO’s might start the 90 day clock on applying for an O visa….. hence my c) comment above.) I indeed entered on Sept 2nd and my first 90 day report is due Feb 18th some 170 days since i entered Thailand but 90 days since i applied for retirement extension from the O visa ( Nov 21st ).

Have you tried Lazada , these things are probably a standard size I would imagine.

As i thought, you don’t know .

We bow to your infinite knowledge but you didn’t answer the question .

Not in the context of the op .

So, after receiving some confirmation from another source, @DrJack54 is correct the 90 days clock only starts ( in the scenario of the op ) when permission to stay for MORE than 90 days is given.i.e an extension or first time entry with an OA visa for example. Indeed my first 90 days report ( from this new O visa) is scheduled 90 days from application of extension and needs to be done in person at immigration. Obviously subsequent re-entries on this extension will start the clock upon entry to Thailand. Of course there will be some variations on this by different IO’s, my friend got his 90 days due date notification on application of O visa while I got mine on application of extension from the O visa. Hell will of course freeze over before all IO’s are on the same page . My successful 90 days report online certainly threw me off course and only highlights the need for online reporting and immigration reporting to be consolidated imo ……… but that’s a topic for another thread.

So if someone entered on a 45 day visa exempt, extended 30 days and after 15 applied for an O visa then an extension on day 80 of that O visa ?, that would be 45 + 30 + 80 that could be 155 days before the 90 days clock starts ? Not doubting you @DrJack54 as your post is what my immigration have done albeit in my case is less than 90 days.

It should appear obvious from the dates in my passport you would think, but actually not so in my case. Entered Thailand Sept 2nd Applied for O Visa Sept 6th Applied successfully online for 90 days report Nov 22nd, since nullified by immigration as 1st report needs to be in person.

As the title suggests a friend and myself are disagreeing on this matter, please clarify. In the case of someone entering on a 30 ( or 45 ) day visa exempt and applying for an O visa does the 90 days clock start on: a) The date of entry to Thailand b) The date of application for O visa or c) Varies from IO to IO TIA Andy

The young couple in the condo next to mine are making a porno ……….. of course they don’t know that yet ????

I also returned September 2nd and didn’t get a TM6, no problem on getting an O visa from 30 days exempt and retirement extension. 90 days report is based on 90 days consecutively in country, irrespective of what the re-entry stamp says. By my reckoning your 90 days report was due on November 30th.

Doc Martin series from 2004 has 10 seasons ( 79 episodes ) , also a French version of the series with the same name. The movies are “ Doc Martin “ and “ Doc Martin and the legend of the Cloutie “ All episodes of the series can be found on fmovies. Not seen the movies anywhere for download or stream.

I would assume the first picture is more recent as all the sales are down in the second. Expected MG to be further up the list with their ZS and EP EV’s , plus their recently released MG4 EV , maybe need to improve their freebies ?? Would like to see a bigger breakdown of car sales at the Motor Show.

BYD coming in hot !! ( motor show orders 30 Nov - 7 Dec )

Transferred some money from the U.K. at 6 pm last night, arrived at 2 pm today ….. 20 hours.

Glad it all worked out well for you. As for immigration being busy !, well you do choose to live in paradise ????. Here in Ayutthaya it only gets busy when the resident monks or Japanese workers have to do their 90 days report or extension and in general it is quiet. Next week is my next visit to Immigration to, hopefully, pick up my extension stamp , feels like weeks I have been working on this ☹️

They blocked my account a while back, never found out the reason. Used a different email address and the gf’s phone number to open a new account then changed phone number back to mine, working again as normal.

Plus a couple of posters who got the O-X visas have recently been on here seeking info on how to rid themselves of it !

Any reports of any foreigners having their young children filmed by immigration officers on a home visit ? Because it sounds like you are trying to bolster your opinion with some unlikely scenario to me.

3M ceramic coating is the way to go, look for a reputable car treatment centre, such as JS PRO near you, best done asap to retain that “ new look “. I wouldn’t attempt to diy anything like this unless you have experience in the business. If you are looking to keep your car in pristine condition on a budget then the normal rules apply. Cover it at nighttime to stop jingjock or cats making it their bed. Seek shade whenever possible but avoid parking under trees at all times. Be that guy and park at the extreme end of the car park to avoid the 8 people in the pickup parking next to you. Someone will be along with product recommendations for diy.

Like all things related to immigration these home visits will be conducted in a different manner by different IO’s. Mine came promptly and to an advance booking, took the standard photos : 2 sitting on the sofa holding open passport, 1 outside in front of the house number and 1 of me alone sitting on the bed ( bit of a surprise that one). Didn’t ask for bank book and used passport only for photos, asked for a photocopy of my partner’s id and added it to the pile of paperwork ( which already had this copy ) created when applying for extension. Questions were related to how long we lived here and where lived before, partner signed something, I didn’t. Mildly annoyed at the thought of a home visit but it was completely painless, the IO and trainee seemed embarrassed to be there. I see it as part of the immigration process, 5 years ago had a visit on 1st extension from an OA and this time 1st extension from an O visa. If it becomes an annual affair or random visits start appearing then that definitely is an “ uptick “ but at the moment I am not seeing this. A friend in another IO location is doing the exact same as me ( kill OA extension, return visa exempt, O visa and retirement extension ) and no hint of a home visit so far.

Are you sure you’re posting in the right thread because I fail to see the relevance of your post to this topic, much less quoting my question.
