My first 90 day report after retirement visa.. Do i have to go or is their an Amnesty?

[Bell1234]

I'm confused as if i have to go or not and if i don't have to report because of Amnesty then when is the next time i have too? Thanks.

There no amnesty for 90 day reporting. You have to do the report.

Since this is the OP's first report after a 'retirement visa', what's the opinion on the OP being able to successfully use the new-fangled, online 90-day reporting system?

 

There was always that grey area under the old online system where the first report after re-entering the country with a new TM7 would fail (for some or most) and the walk-in, personal report was required.

 

Unless the OP can clarify if he is on a new visa acquired recently overseas OR on an new extension of a previous retirement extension issued locally, it's even harder to give precise answers.

It has been a requirement for some time that the first report has to be done in person. The problem is that immigration would not have a record of a previous 90 day report.

After entering the country they would see on the online report that recent entry to the country and the could verify that in their records.

Since the OP wrote amnesty in his post I don't think he was referring to his first report. I assumed he thought that 90 day reports were not required now.

There have never been an amnesty for 90d reporting. The first report you have to do in person, the next you can do online and now this is working perfect and very easy to use. Piece of cake.

There was one last year from April to September. I skipped 2 reports then and did a report to get caught up without a problem.

You have to do the 90 report, no amnesty and certainly reason not too.

However if it's the first report after your ext'n you may well have to do it in person, rather than online.

So for my first report after entering and being granted a fresh non-O extension in early Dec., should I even bother to check out the online system?

Yes, costs you nothing.  Also feedback on success will be useful to others similarly situated.

Unless it is your first extension of stay you can do it online. Count 90 days from the day you entered the country to get your report date and do it up to 15 days before that day to to that day.

All of you are wrong, there is an amnesty until 31st December:

There are only 12 days of it left though, so you can also just do it now then you are done with it.

If somebody makes use of this amnesty, the following report probably has to be done in person because the online system probably doesn't know of this amnesty and might reject a 90 day report.

I am aware of that as you well know but the big question is every immigration office aware of it and is it worth the risk of not doing one and being fined 2000 baht.

[rwill]

Can you do the first one by mail?

Read the thread, several posters including Ubonjoe have said no.

[Foxglove]

Just go and do it. It's no big deal.

[The Hammer2021]

Please! Just do it! What is the problem?

Not only that, but if you go when you are supposed to go (on the day that your next appointment/receipt indicates) you know exactly when that date is.  If you take "advantage" of the amnesty you have to carefully follow the news when they tell people who used the amnesty when they need to go do their next report.  I simply don't see the attraction of not doing a report when it means I don't know (now) when my next report is due.

Yes this is correct answer! Also you can do 90 report 7 days early.

I did read the whole thread.  Not one of them mentioned mail.  And I was just wondering.

The same I was told by my immigration officer on my first 90 day report. First in person, and the next online if I could or wanted. The same after my first renewal.

They normally will accept the first one after applying for the first extension of stay done by mail since you have to send copies of your passport that would show your approved extension of stay.

But I would suggest doing it in person to insure it is done without a problem.

I see not reason why you could not do it by mail or online.
