Tourist Covid Extension + 90-Day-Reporting?

[zackebuh]

Today my local IO wanted me to fill out the 90-Day Reporting form.

 

I told them several times that I'm here for the 60 Day Covid Extension but they insisted.

 

They gave me the 60 Days Extension stamp (as usual) but on top of that handed me the 90-Day "Extension of stay letter".

 

My feeling is they don't know what they are doing because it's a new Immigration Office and they opened only a couple months ago.

 

They tried the same thing two months ago by handing me the "wrong" form to fill out but this time they didn't listen to my objection.

 

Do I have to do the 90 Day Reporting from now on?

Seems useless since I'm at the IO every two months anyway.

I assume you entered on tourist visa or visa exempt and are now obtaining 60 day covid extensions.

90 day reporting is not required.

If you have stayed in the country longer than 90 consecutive days in the country you can be asked for a 90 day report unless it is your first extension application and then you next report will be due 90 days from that day.

Not all immigration offices ask for them when doing covid 19 extension but they can ask for one under the rules.

What you given was a receipt for the 90 day report and it has the date your next report is due.

OP, which immigration office.

At CW for my second covid extension I was asked me to fill in a 90 day report form whilst with the immigration officer.

What visa did you have previously. Tourist Visa?

I'm really angry with myself now that I gave in so easily.

 

I'm fairly sure that they would have given out the extension anyway since that's what they did two month ago.

By law you are required to do 90 day reporting. Some immigration offices don't want them from people who are getting covid extensions, but afaik there is no official exemption, so if they tell you to do it they are just acting in accordance with the law.

I am on a STV and in Chiang Mai. After the first 90 days i posted a 90 day report (can't do any harm) It was returned with a polite note in English complete with smily emoji saying no report needed for Tourist Visa

Angry that you complied with the law?

what's the problem?

It's not as though you have to pay for it.

I entered with a 60 day tourist visa which I had initially extended 30 days. 
 

They didn’t want a 90 day report during my first 60 day covid extension but did ask for one whilst I was at CW arranging my second 60 day extension.

Interesting. Seems some do and some don't.

Anyway good that you got the covid extension.
