You have no problem as 90 day clock stops when you leave & restarts when you return

[Ulysses G.]

I have not done it for a few years, but when I missed mine, I had to start over based on my latest arrival date.

This isn't meant to be a flame or a put down.... but !!!  After over 6,000 posts you are asking this question.

This issue has been answered a gazillion times, almost on a daily basis.

Am I missing something ???

[Tagaa]

To clarify the correct but vague posts above:

 

If you are in LOS for 90 days, you need to verify your address. If you leave LOS before 90 days is up, you do not.

 

The clock on the 90 day count starts when you enter the country and get stamped in. If you don't return for 9 months, no problem, your 90 day count starts anew when you stamp in at immigration.

Thanks for your replies ,this has put my mind at rest .

OP, you're only required to report your address if you stay in thailand for 90 days consecutively. the 90-day counter resets to day 1 when you get your entry stamp from thai immigration.

Don't forget to get your re-entry permit before you leave.

Exactly.

 

You have to report  89 days after the day you fly back in.

Just dont be away on 'Visa/Extension' due date.

 

The thing is , Im still not sure if you must report to Immigration with a completed TM30 within 24 hours of return to Thailand. You had to here if you went to the Patong Office ( which now has a sign saying so ) , same as CM  , but not if you went to Phuket Town Immigration . Now some are saying you must report to either  office within 24 hours....

Honestly this is what make TV so stupid, the same stupid request for information that is very common knowledge, and would you not ask immigration that question as you leave the country or at least when you go and get your exit permit?, The same as the request about  money in the bank, late/forgot my 90 days etc., Don't you think its time to stop replying to these questions, surly TV as pages with these details on?

I know this is the "law" but my IM office does not follow it. They keep sending me (yes this happens) my 90 day reports from the extension date even if I have been out of the country

Yes, you should plan on reporting within 24 hours of returning into the country. This will also serve for you to validate with your immigration office that you are indeed restarting the 90 day clock.

True. The search function sucks since the "upgrade" so no one bothers anymore. I contacted them about it and was told to do all kinds of combination searches with quotes and no quotes and all kinds of other crap that didn't work. It's a shit show and no one cares so we just get the same crap day after day after day. Best way to search this forum is to do a Google search for what you want and add the words "thaivisa". 

[ksamuiguy]

Upgrade has really put me off ThaiVisa. searches, following many problems with access. probably not their fault , just new regulations and rules.

You do not need to report if out of the country.

The 90 day report time starts on the day of your return.

Obviously you read Thai Visa but cannot comprehend

You are not missing anything, TV has thousands of members and posters and their answers are helping others with their questions whether he has 6000, or 60000 posts.

[simoh1490]

The things that you used to know but no longer use, you often forget those things. I'm on the sixteenth extension of my O-A visa, I haven't got a clue how a person applies for one anymore - perhaps give the OP a break on this rather than savage him for not knowing when you do!.

[zaZa9]

I dont know how anyone can say that any answer regarding  Thai Immigration is already written here and you can just search it.

Besides a woeful search engine here  , the shifting sands that are Thai Immigration 'rules'  , coupled with regional office interpretations ,  means that its a way better option to ask here the current situation at the particular office.

Of course some sad sack  respondents would rather waste the same amount of words on chiding the op than actually giving an intelligent answer.

Then theres always a few who have no idea  but cant just not say anything ...

Your immigration office sends you the reports without you reporting to them?

[smccolley]

I have lived in Thailand since 2006 and never done a 90 day report. I travel once or twice a month and don't have to worry about it.

I find it unbelievabele that you have never done a 90 day report. Do you have an extension of stay or have you been on overstay since 2006. I would have thought that if you have an extension of stay that a lack of 90 day reports would have been picked up. Or maybe you have an illegal one.

Yes that is the major point you get a re-entry permit before leaving from Emigration then your 90 day starts when you re-enter LOS no problem, i have never tried it without a re-entry permit!

If he never stays longer than 90 days in the country a report would never need to be done. His entry stamps are proof of that.

Thanks once again i did try the search facility as said it now is useless .as for my re entry form no problem there i would never forget. Sorry what was i saying? [emoji4]

I have an extension of stay based on marriage and a WP. I just travel a lot and the longest I have been in the country is 54 days.

My apologies. I misinterpreted your e mail about travelling. Although you didnt specify it, I assumed and I dont know why that you were travelling inside Thailand.

Removed some off-topic posts and the replies to them.

 

This topic is about the notification of staying in Thailand longer than 90 days, not about the notification of the arrival of a foreigner at the residence.

But the fact of the matter is that the 2 go hand-in-hand in practice in the OP's case, given the specific requirements of what appears to be his local immigration office (Jomtien) and the amount of foreign travel which he undertakes.

 

@i claudius - in these circumstances I would merely draw your attention to the contents of the following recent thread, which may also be relevant in your case:-

Yes, and on time or before the due date if there are holidays.

I find this very, very strange. Unbelievable really.
