Well, at least now you've admitted your ignorance. That's a start.

Another lame attempt to hide your own ignorance. You are on a roll...

Nope. I understand the term. You don't. I will admit, I have no clue what Fortnite is. Doesn't bother me though.

I won't click any shady link you post because you are suss as hell. I suspect you googled the term "exponential multiplication" and linked the first hit. Exponential multiplication exists, but it's simply multiplying exponents. In your lame attempt at humor, you were using the term "exponential" as if it were a greater form of multiplication, which it isn't. You will not understand this explanation, just like you didn't understand the link you posted. If you understood "exponential multiplication" you wouldn't have posted any link.

"...exponential multiplication..." I guarantee this guy never graduated from high school. GED also unlikely... What's going through his mind when he's deciding to post nonsense like this? Aren't there forums on Reddit where this guy would feel more appreciated and at home?

Horsesh!t Meanwhile some knucklehead over at some Russian language forum is typing... It will take a heck of a lot of patience to deal with Americans in Thailand. But we have to bear in mind that they have a very difficult history in terms of tolerance and oppression (slavery, Jim Crow laws, Native American land theft). Their government treats them like <deleted> and they can do the same to other people. Physically, Americans resemble Europeans, but psychologically there are tremendous differences. Be patient and try to explain things. Probably, you will find them isolationists at first sight. But show an appreciation for their history and, especially their famous writers. Tolerance is a keyword, but don't accept chauvinistic bull<deleted>. Hemingway is probably the best, and most readable, American writer. Remember he suffered tremendous alcoholism, depression, paranoia and was admitted to a mental institution more than once. But he got out of it. We can get out of it too! This shouldn't surprise me, but still, I'm a bit unnerved by the idea that there are expats among us who believe this nonsense and want others to believe it too.

Thanks Dr. Jack. Your support has always been very helpful over the years. I appreciate it!

This is what I would like to do. My renewal date is in June. I would prefer it to be January. I want to spend less than 180 days in Thailand, but be able to spend at least 170 uninterrupted days in Thailand. A retirement visa is the only way I know to do that. Just to confirm, if I want have a recurring renewal date in January, I have to leave without a reentry permit and return in early October. I would enter in a visa exempt status and then immediately apply for the change of visa to the 90 day Non-O. The Non-O would expire in January at which point I can apply for the annual extension in January. I will have kept my 800k THB in my account the entire time, if that matters. Additional question... Can I leave Thailand during the initial Non-O 90 day visa period, as long as I get a reentry permit? Thanks, in advance!

Went to IO. Paid the fine. In and out in 10 minutes. New date, Christmas eve. Should be easy to remember, but just in case, I will set up several reminders using different media. Hopefully the redundancy will help prevent this from happening again. Will set the reminders for the earliest possible day to give myself leeway if anything comes up that might delay me. I need to find some way of incorporating this rhythm into my life since I might be doing this every 90 days until I die.

Ok, glad I checked back in at the forum. Will show up in person today, pay the likely fine, and report online in the future. Thank you to everyone who kept commenting despite the fact that I appeared to sign off.

Thank you for the advice, everyone. This is the first of three 90 day reports for this extension. Since the general consensus is that this is not a big deal, I have decided to report online today. I will report online again the next two times as well and then see if they catch me when I do my next extension. Maybe I will intentionally file on the 5th or 6th day for the next two, so that this 9 day slip is less obvious/glaring. I appreciate everyone taking the time to respond!

I'm on a Non- O retirement visa extension. As the title says, I missed my report date. 9 days overdue. First time this has happened. Will go into the office today to report. What will be the likely response from the immigration officer. I assume there is a fine. How much money do I need to bring? What's a realistic worse case scenario? Thanks in advance...
