Dear All,

Kindly suggest on this:

The son of my friend who is around 10 yrs old, studies in one of the Int'l Schools at Bkk. He stayed iwth the student visa and his mom forgot to report 90 days. What can be happen when he left Thailand on next month? Or should he or his mom report this week?

Thanking you all .

90 day reports are not part of exit of country procedure so nothing will happen. A new 90 day count will start on return.

There's also a grace period of seven days before and seven days late.

Does he need to pay any fine charges when he get out of Thailand?

No. Even if he overstayed his permission to stay he would not be subject to any fine.

No. Even if he overstayed his permission to stay he would not be subject to any fine.

Thank you very much. I will inform his mother.

Best regards,

please report back on the outcome when u find out

If it is that way for a student, then it must be that way for everyone.

So it is unnecessary to report. Just twiddle your fingers and stand around nonchalantly as you hand your passport to get your exit stamp.

It worked for me.

To summarize one of the locked threads, they count the 90 days from the last entry stamp into Thailand, not the last time you showed up to renew your retirement visa or other business at immigration. Yet, if you NEVER report the 90 days stay, they do not force you to pay the 5000 baht (recently raised from 2000 baht) fine when you are leaving the country. Or at least it appears that way.

I was at Jomtien last year and realized that I had renewed my retirement visa 88 days previously, so I went to immigration to report my 90 day stay. They pointed out that my last reentry stamp was several weeks before the renewal date so I owed 2000 baht. I refused to pay and told them I'd pay when I leave the country. A month later when I flew out, nobody said a word.

I was tempted to test it again this year, but since they raised the fine to 5000, I renewed yesterday...

The normal fine is stll 2000 baht. It has not changed.

The 5000 baht number is the maximum amount you can be fined.

Only the first extension of stay counts as a 90 day report.
