carrot34 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Hi, I'm leaving Thailand on 15May but my 90day report will be expired on 9May. People say I can get Re-entry visa on airport, I'm wondering do they provide 90day reporting too? Anyone knows how it works? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 90 day reporting is not done at airport. You can get re-entry permit 0600-2400 if outbound pax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I have to get 90day report before departure? The day I'm leaving is in 14days window period , so can I just leave the country without it? Thanks for the info.

retiredusn Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 You can leave and then pay your fine when you do report. Just go and do it. simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbk Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Departure resets the reporting, so if its in the allowable window don't you think they would just let it slide? Not sure, just asking as it seems the more likely outcome but then, as always, guess it depends on the officer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, depending on which Immigration office you deal with, you might just able to snail mail in the 90-day report. Chang Wattana, yes; Pathum Thani, no, for example.

It is not a 14 day window any more but a 21 day window. 14 day before and 7 day after the 90 day notification date to do the reporting thing. So if you leave within the 7 day ( after the notification date ) you should be fine. But with the immigration officers you never know for sure.

beano2274 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 When I left Bangkok last year I just took the 90day reporting slip out and put it in the bin, the Immigration officers at the Airport are not aware of such things. Then the day you return is day one, before the 90days are up again go to Immigration, make sure you show them your re-entry permit and new Arrival and Departure card, so then they can work out the 90days.

lopburi3 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 The window is 7 days after the date; if you report within that time frame. Expect you could face a 2,000 baht fine when making next report if they take the time to check carefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tod Daniels Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) So if you leave within the 7 day ( after the notification date ) you should be fine. But with the immigration officers you never know for sure. I must beg to differ from the above piece I snipped! I had an acquaintance 'caught out' on this exact scenario earlier this year. His 90 day report was due a few days before he was flying out of Thailand. He too mistakenly thought the 'reporting window of opportunity' was open for him. Once he returned to the glorious "Land 'O Thais" and went to file his following 90 day report; much to his chagrin, the Immigrations officer noted his departure stamp and saw it was AFTER the date she had in the computer as far as when he was to have previously reported. She fined him the 2000baht "standard fine" for failure to report on time. He didn't get pissy with her and thus wasn’t given the "maximum fine of 5000baht", which from personal observation seems to be reserved for the people who “piss and moan” about the injustice of it all. He just paid the fine and then turned in the new 90 day report. It's you're choice and after all it is only 2000baht IF you're caught on it during your next reporting; BUT why not just report before you leave? Unless I am mistaken the “window” of reporting up to 14 days early or 7 days late does NOT come into play at all, if you leave the country AFTER the date you're supposed to report. I believe it’s merely a grace period given for people TO report; and NOT designed or interpreted as a way for people to get out of reporting, no matter how close after their report date they leave the country. It would also appear from another thread on here that there could possibly now be a mandatory 200baht ‘service fee’ imposed by Immigrations at Suvarnabhumi to purchase a re-entry permit added to the 'regular cost' of the permit. Yet another incentive to go report and buy your re-entry permit at Changwattana. Oh and FWIW: they do keep a remarkable amount of data on foreigners in the 90 day reporting room at Changwattana. Passport number, Nationality, DOB, Sex, current address, Last entry into - Last departure outta, current departure card number, the kind of visa you originally came in on, the type of extension of stay you’re currently on, when that extension of stay expires, stuff like that. I mean really, it’s all on the screen when they key in your passport number. Edited May 4, 2011 by tod-daniels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micky Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 My uncle will be applying for the retirement visa soon. And after that he will be applying for a multi-re-entry permit. The problem is the 90 days reporting. Because every two months or so he has to leave Thailand, and will return back later to Thailand again. In doing so, he would not have the chance of staying more than 90 days until the one year extension expires. Will he face any problems? Will it effect his retirement visa? Your kind advice please. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 No problem with that - he only has to report if here 90 days from date of last arrival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Yes. Report after being in the Country for 90 days continually. As he will not be, there is no requirement to report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micky Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Thanks, lopburi. Assuming he leaves Thailand every two months, then he need not have to do the "90 days" reporting for the whole one year - right up to his expiry date? Am I correct? Thanks again, lopburi.

Mario2008 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Correct. 60 day is shorter than 90 days, so no need to report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
