Missed my 90 Day Report :o{

[rexall]

Just realized that I did not do my 90 Day Report on 21 Jan when it was due.  Never did that before. I am usually scrupulous about that stuff. As I did my annual extension in December, possibly I was confused and thinking that the report was due  in March, 90 days from the extension.  Anyway, my bad.

 

My question is are there any advantages to trotting my sorry ass down to Imm immediately and clearing it, or would it amount to the same thing  if I just show up when the next report would have been due, on  20 April, 90 days from 21 Jan?

Anyone have and first-hand experience or first-hand info with this?  It is it just a routine matter of showing up, paying the B1,900 fine, and leaving?  Do they expect an explanation or apology or anything.  I am in Khon Kaen, BTW.

Thanks, lah!

The fine for late reporting is 2000 baht not 1900 baht.

I suggest you go to your local office as soon as possible to do the report. Thay may start a new 90 days on the date you do it.

Normally it is a routine manner since people forget them or get confused on when they are due all the time.

Usually when you do your annual extension, your new 90-day reporting starts from the date of extension.  Please check the next reporting date on the slip in your passport.

Unfortunately, this is not generally the case, except with a first extension. For subsequent extensions, it is only true if  the report date is due within 15 days and the immigration official who handles the extensions helpfully does  it automatically; or if you specifically do it as a separate step.

In Phuket, I always do my annual extensions within 30 days of end date and they always give me a new 90-day report date.  So OP should check his notification slip.

Pay the 2000 THB and rack it up to experience.  I keep my dates on a wall calendar.

If you are a Farcebook user, do what I do, create a private event and it will start reminding you about about a week before.

That may be the case at some immigration offices, but that certainly is not true in Bangkok at Chaeng Wattana. I've done 11 extensions there (and Suan Plu) and never has my 90 Day Report day been reset from the day that I did an extension.

That is not the case. Some offices/officers will reset the 90 day report when you renew an extension, some don't. 15 days doesn't come in to it.

Rex All, relax the same thing happens to me on January 23rd, I did my extension on Dec,12, when I was in front of the IO just look at the camera and l realize I was overdue 7 days on my 90 days report, never happens to me before.The IO did not bother at all, just stamp me out. It was a short trip to Myanmar came back the next day.......no problem. as much as I respect Ubonjoe knowledge, you should be ok, good luck.....

Thanks for all the replies, guys.  I have never missed one before and I have been doing this for more than a decade at various Imm offices in different provinces.  Yes, I am familiar with the concept of writing events on a wall calendar, as well as various electronic notification devices. I just <deleted> up, that's all.

I have had extensions where the 90 days started as of the extensions date and they stapled a little note in my passport without having to fill out the usual TM47.  Other times, I just reported at the next report date. To the extent that I was thinking at all, I must have been erroneously assuming the report date was 90 days after the extension.

Thanks.  I am not concerned about it. I would prefer not to pay the B2,000 but I am not complaining,a nd virtually no chance they will let me slide.   I was just wondering if there was a downside to postponing it until the next due date which would have been 20 April had I done the one on 21 Jan.  I'll just bite the bullet and get it out of the way, then won't have to worry about it.  

Tks, lah!

UPDATE

Sent my assistant with 90 Day Report paperwork and 2,000 bahtski. All was routine except that the poor kid waited nearly one hour as the boss had to sign-off before it was approved.  

Thanks for all the helpful replies to this question.

That was lucky. Immigration usually insist you report yourself when reporting late.

"Usually" is not relevant in Thailand!
