Number 6 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I'm scheduled to leave the country on the 91st day counting my latest plane flight in to the day of departure. Jan 1 to Apr 3 to be precise. If I don't do a 90 day, is this an issue? Could I have any trouble returning (non O marriage)? Or, the preceding 90 day report (fine). I'd like to start mailing my reports in as well. Sick of the time and expense Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. As long as you leave before day 97 there is no fine or punishment that can, under immigration rules, be applied in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. There is a few days grace period for which no future penalty for late filing the 90 day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A report is not considered late unless you stay in the country and report on day 97+. So if you leave before day 97 you cannot be fined at any point in the future because you didn't stay in the country long enough for a report to become late and a fine due. It is a report to update your address because you are staying in the country longer than 90 days, however, if you are leave within 97 days immigration aren't bothered whether or not you report because you're leaving. If you were to stay in the country longer than 96 days and not report a fine becomes due, and could potentially be charged in the future. Although, IMO, that's unlikely to happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grace period is for people who actually make the report, the OP will not do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lopburi3 Posted March 12, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2018 Believe if you stay more than 90 days and fail to report you can and likely will be fined when next making a report. The grace period is for those making reports - it does not remove the requirement for a report if staying longer than 90 days. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called 90 day report, not 97 day report. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a deadline to report our address within 97 days, and a fine for anyone staying in the country longer than 96 days without reporting or who reports late. The OP isn’t staying longer than 96 days so they cannot be fined. Immigration aren’t interested in the address of someone leaving the country within the time given to report their address Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you link a report from a member that has left within 97 days without reporting and been fined for not reporting when making a future report?

The OP is not reporting, he is leaving on day 91, totally different. And you are totally wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one report, we all know different rules vary from office to office Also interesting to see on that thread that UbonJoe says you can be fined On that thread you advised the following Section 37 : An alien having received a temporary entry permit into the Kingdom must comply with the following : 5. If the alien stays in the Kingdom longer than ninety days, such alien must notify the competent official at the Immigration Division , in writing , concerning his place of stay , as soon as possible upon expiration of ninety days. The alien is required to do so every ninety days. ... Well that seems clear enough to me, you must report every 90 days, yes there is a grace period however it does not say that you will or will not be fined Can you provide official proof of what you are saying?, It would certainly clear a lot of things up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorSucker Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Basically it's up to the immigration officer next time, get fined or not, so I'll advice to do the 90 day report. Not that difficult. If you get fined, good luck explain to the IO, I read on Internet that I don't have to do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number 6 Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 It's a huge hassle but I'll do it. When I return I'll mail it in. Rather not risk it prior. Love to do it online but imagine that's still not working, how long has it been? Years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchega Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Helloe OP did you report in the end or just fly 1 day later, yet again I find myself in this position, I will be flying on day 95 or 96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As said before immigration does not look for 90 day reporting since it is not their responsibility to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchega Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Thanks again, such an annoyance, but an annoyance with a max fine of 5k baht as opposed to deporting and banned for 1 year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
