SunsetT Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 (edited) A friend entered Thailand a couple of months ago with a 1 year Non O Retirement Visa and he has just this week extended it for the 1st time. I was surprised when he told me that he must do his 1st 90 day report in January which is 90 days from when he entered Thailand and not from the date of his 1st extension. I was under the impression that 90 day reports ran from the date of extension or date of any re-entry to Thailand after extension(s).

DrJack54 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 (edited) Seems that your friend entered on single entry non O visa (based on retirement) Gives 90 day stamp and then obtained a 12 month extension to that permission of stay. Indeed that FIRST extension should start his count clock for his first 90 day report.. Seems his immigration office put start clock to date of entry. After first extension, subsequent extensions have nothing to do with 90 day reports. Edited December 15, 2023 by DrJack54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At immi right now reporting for the December 15 deadline that they stapled in my passport! Thats about 60 days after your extension. So did u enter Thailand about 30 days before Oct. 16 to make a 90 day report necessary on December 15th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure there are many in Thailand who do not report. Likely your "friend" is part of the reason most of us have to report.

Popular Post rwill Posted December 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2023 Why worry about it? Just do it and it will be 90 days the next time. The first 90 day report will have to be done at the office. After that you can do it online. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ardsong Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Last time I got my last 90-day before the date of extension, I received a 90-day next report date to be the same date as my extension date. I use the online 90-day reporting system successfully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not clear how/why the "friend" did not do 90day reports. I didn't do a 90 day report for my first 7 years in Thailand due to frequent travel out/return. Only when covid hit did I do my first TM47 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression that 90 day reports ran from the date of extension or date of any re-entry to Thailand after extension(s). It's depending on the local immigration office, how the 90-days are counted. Some places continously counts from last entry date, others – like where I live – resets the count by each extension of stay. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I assume by this comment by the poster that his friend is permanently resident in Thailand and not in a situation similar to you. His frivolous comment was just an attempt to disrupt the thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPoll Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Read the title of the TM47 form. It is written in English. You report to immigration if you stay inside Thailand for 90 days. It may, at first, be 90 days from your extension but if you ever leave and re-enter Thailand then you will break that coincidental connection. In general, your extension date and 90-day report date have nothing to do with each other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joebuzzz Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Just a comment regarding online 90 day reporting. I did my FIRST online report at about 11:45 am yesterday, Sunday. I had an an approval email at 11:00 pm. last night. So, less than 12 hours on a Sunday. I'm thoroughly impressed. Wish I hadn't waited to try it.

My 90 day report is checked every retirement extension to make sure it's up to date and agrees with the TM30 address report, have to supply copies of both for the file. 90 day reports are not required if you do not spend more than 90 days in country at a time, i.e. flies out or does border hop every 80 days.
