90 Day Reporting In On Retirement Visa

[cpitc00]

I needed to report in by october 14 on 90 day....I assumed I could do this at BKK airport when I applied for my re-entry permit....but immigration officer would not deal with 90 day report form...so I needed leave without reporting in....but ...I departed before the 90 days were up so , in my thinking, i do not need to report staying over 90 days because I left thailand before 90 days are up and obtained a re=entry permit.

As other times, Thai immigration has confused my understanding of their requirements, I do not want to return in november and have problems about this dam reporting in form.....my questions are......" did I need to report in if I left before the 90 days elapsed" or "did obtaining the re-entry permit suffice and fill all required of me upon my departure and the 90 days begin again when I return since i departed before 90 days were up and therefore not need to report in for I did not stay over 90 days and form not required.....I hope I stated my concerns clearly here...lol

When you left and returned you in effect 'reported'

You reset the clock when you leaf Thailand. The 90 days start ticking from zero the day you re-enterd Thailand.

Scroll the text down. The rule is at the bottom, in the notes.

Yes, I agree with the above and have done it this way myself in Jomtien, but bizarrely I have read reports from Bangkok of a certain officer fining people for not reporting after arriving from a trip.

I have not seen any such report, Jingthing.

I heard about this on another forum. Which we can't mention. Cheers. I suspect it was a fluke with a new officer gone haywire.

There was a post here abut an officer in another immigration office, not Bangkok, having acted funny about the 90-day address report but nothing came of it. The rule is clear: new entry restarts the 90-day clock .
