Guderian Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Maybe this is a dumb question, but I thought I would ask it just to be sure. I got my first 1-year retirement extension last December. At the time, an advice notice was stapled in my passport telling me when my 90 day report would be due (11 March) - see the picture. Since the extension was issued, I have made three trips out of Thailand, and so never stayed for 90 days. As a result, there was no need to make a 90 day report, as each re-entry resets the 90 day clock back to day 1. Now it looks like I will actually spend more than 90 days in Thailand for a change, so I will have to make my first 90 day report. The question is this. Should I remove the notice stapled in my passport in case it confuses the guy I give the report to, or would that be unwise? I suspect that the latter answer is probably the case, but would appreciate any advice/experience. Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 They will remove and match your exits/return at your next report. If he fails to notice why just point out you have traveled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks lopburi, that's what I thought would happen, but just thought it best to check first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaihome Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 If I leave before the reporting date, I just take out the notice and throw it away after exiting immigration. I don't do my own reporting but since our visa person that does the reporting has never mentioned it, I assume there is no problem. TH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyDow Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 In the first year I was here I made the mistake of going to immigration on the date indicated on the 90 Day Reminder slip in my passport, despite the fact I had been outside Thailand during the 90 day period. The officer at immigration in Suan Phlu pointed out that my trip outside Thailand had "reset" the 90 day "clock" and the reminder slip was now irrelevant. He removed the slip and told me to come back 90 days after my last entry. He also said that if it happened again it was quite OK for me to discard the slip, it was only a reminder. I have subsequently followed his advice and never had any problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guderian Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 GuyDow and thaihome, Thanks for the replies. From your experiences, it sounds like it really doesn't matter. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
