But then again the point was an O visa not OA or Elite. If you enter at anytime using a non 'O-A' visa you need to report your address if staying longer than 90 days. That applies to any entry whether it's the first year, second year or any subsequent extension of stay. Thai Elite only make the 90 day report for you if you ask them and deliver the passport to their office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overherebc Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 4 minutes ago, elviajero said: You said; "if you're doing 90 day reports it's an extension of stay, not a visa." No I'm not. I am referring to anyone that has permission to stay longer than 90 days. Example; someone entering with a 'O-A' visa needs to make 90 day reports if they stay longer than 90 days. They are clearly doing 90 day reports and do not have an extension of stay. Fine, but, you should also mention the finer points that for the second year it's no longer a visa and will require a re-entry permit if you leave Thailand and return during that second year or the extension has gone.

Clearly some offices (Udon is one) follow the thai wording others follow the English or quite possibly the complete wording of the police order. The result is that different offices have different rules, as is not unusual in Thailand. Edited August 20, 2018 by sometimewoodworker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posters understanding was totally correct. Quote Quote The first application for extension of stay by the foreigner is equivalent to the notification of staying in the Kingdom over 90 days. https://www.immigration.go.th/content/sv_90day You could easily be correct but there is nothing on that page when it is translated that has the wording you quoted He is quoting from the old immigration website. The application for an extension is considered the equivalent of an address report (90 day report) because you're reporting your address, in writing, to immigration as per the law.

They have never done that as far as I'm aware. They certainly don't do it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply put. If you want to keep any permit to stay alive you need a re-entry permit. Any visa used to initially enter the country, whether expired or not, is irrelevant.

Gets that way sometimes. ??? Similar to the sketch where Reagan wants to contact UN and his secretary asks Kofi? You can take it from there. ???? Edit Should add that since Kofi died a couple of days ago someone will be posting soon that the story doesn't apply anymore. ???
