Popular Post Tagaa Posted March 29, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2018 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. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irwinfc Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phetpeter Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 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? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will also serve for you to validate with your immigration office that you are indeed restarting the 90 day clock. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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". 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natway09 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simoh1490 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 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!. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post zaZa9 Posted March 29, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2018 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 ... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smccolley Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

Maestro Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 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:- Edited March 30, 2018 by OJAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
