Visa extension does not count as 90-day report

[bamboozled]

This is surely all over the forum but I missed this info somehow. So I'm repeating it here in case it benefits somebody. I got a visa extension about 3 months ago and thought that would count as a 90 day report. When I went to do my 90 day report recently, surprise to me, I had to pay 2000 baht for overstay. My last entry into Thailand was in August and that's when the 90 days started. My visa extension in September had no bearing on it. It doesn't really make sense to me as the visa extension goes a lot further in proving where you are and what you are doing. But alas, it seems the two systems operate independently.

 

Take heed.

It does count as 90 day report because when you do extension they also report your address.

 

But please do tell where you obtained it because this might be one of those special offices outside Bangkok.

Chiang Mai. It didn't count for me. Hmm, I might have dug my own grave, as it were. I put my date of entry as August (the true date of entry) and not the date I got the visa extension. The officer told me the extension doesn't count but perhaps it wouldn't have been an issue if I had put the extension date. But that would not have been a truthful answer to when I entered Thailand.

 

I'm 2000 baht lighter now. That much I know.

I understand the date you apply for your very first extension does count as day 1 of your 90 day period.  But thereafter not on subsequent extensions.

In Korat I recently did a residence report after returning to Thailand they gave me a 90 day date close to my non O renewal date and told me to do the visa extension renewal on (or near I presume - I never leave anything to the last minute) the 90 day date.

Post above @Upnotover is correct.

The only time 90 report has anything to do with extension is for first extension from the non O.

From then on unrelated. 

As usual immigration offices vary.

It's possible few offices may do the TM47 when obtaining an annual extension as a  courtesy.

Some years back I went for a Type-OA one year extension at same time my 90 day report was due. This was at Phuket Immigration. 

 

I didn't have to say anything. 

 

The IO immediately noted this, he entered some things in his computer,  and handed me a slip of paper when next 90 day report due.

 

So perhaps as suggested this is Immigration office specific or maybe even individual IO specific.

Nothing strange there.

The io was assisting you.

That is an anomaly.

Happened to me once at my annual extension.

The io started to do 90. Report .

I stopped him as I had mail report in 🚂

Take heed.

You were not on overstay. Overstay is when you remain in Thailand after your permission to stay has expired.

Here's the stamp in my passport from 2016 when the same happened to me at the One Stop in Bangkok.

Just to add/clarify, it is for the first extension from any non-immigrant visa, not just a non-o

Ah ok, I just don't see anywhere that the op mentions retirement extension? (maybe you dug into his old posts, but that does not change what you wrote on this thread, that does not mention retirement).

 

Also you wrote "The only time 90 report has anything to do with extension is for first extension from the non O", notice the use of the word "only", that intimates that it is "only" a first extension from a Non-O, (that is what you wrote and that is what I as a native speaker of English understood it to mean).

 

That is why I mentioned that it is a first extension from any non-immigrant visa, surely any extra correct information is valuable to the members of this forum?

I didn't need to dig into his old posts.

I recall the OP making excellent report of his extension retirement at CM.

Take heed.

Have you got a 90 day Slip showing the next Report Date from the IO at the time you have done your Extension? I guess not so why you think he has done a new Report for you?

There are reports of some immigration offices doing 90 report when obtaining extension.

Rather than post a link to threads here is a cut and paste from random thread .....

"did  my last 90day in November.    just did my extension and got my stamp on Dec25

I/O also reset my 90day count for March  ( Hua Hin )"

Yes, I get also a new Report done by the IO when I do my Extension at Hua Hin. But I also get always a new Slip showing the new next Report Date, means if I don't get one nothing is done.

Exactly.
