90 Day Reporting

[andy1308]

Hello all. Background info first: I have a Non-Imm B and Work Permit. My passport is currenly being renewed (expected back next Monday) but I am due to do my 90 day reporting tomorrow. I have the white piece of paper (saying I need to report tomorrow) and a photocopy of the old passport. Is that enough or do I need to physically have my passport? And what can I expect to happen if I miss my 90 days reporting (by five days at most)?

Any help is much appreciated.

You have a +/- 7 day window to submit your 90 day report. I would think you need the actual passport. You should be ok at 5 days late.

2000 baht fine. Could be more now but that was what it was a year ago.

You could do the reporting by mail. Imm will take a copy of the passport when done that way.

If I were more than 7 days late (and would leave the country before my next renewal application) I would take my chances that it would not be detected upon exit (they do not seem to check for this on departure). Worst that could happen is the fine anyhow.

I did my 90 days reporting by mail recently. I just sent a photcopy of my passport and the white slip and everything was OK

They dont even check at immigration in SuanPlu, why would they check at the airport...

From my experience they certainly do check at Suan Plu f you apply for a visa renewal/extension (and,of course, if you submit the 90 day report more than 7 days late). I have seen it happen more than once.

I do my 90 days reporting by mail, have done now for 4yrs. I just sent a photcopy of my passport and the white slip by EMS + inclose a 10 baht self addressed envelope.

10 - 14 days later you receive your new 90 days white slip + the new reporting TM47 form + the return of the photo copies [use for next time]

If you do not have a TM47 form then they are here http://www.immigration.go.th/nov2004/en/ba...p?page=download

From my experience, 3 times now, they do not.

Maybe I just lucky, fourth time out.
