Date Considered For 90 Day Reporting

[Stef]

The last time I reported (90 day reporting) was on 30 November 2011.

I applied for an extension of stay based on marriage on 22 December 2011.

The extension was granted on 19 January 2012.

I assume that I will have to report again 90 days after my last visit at Chaeng Wattana on 19 January 2012. Am I wrong?

Can anyone confirm?

Thanks

Yes you are wrong.

If your application for extension was your first application your next report will be 90 days from that date.

If not it will be 90 days from 30th November.

You apparently were on an extension of stay on November 30 if you had to do a 90 day address report so the next report would have been due in 90 days unless you departed Thailand. Only the first extension of stay visit to Immigration counts as an address report - after that you must submit a TM.47 every time. Expect a 2,000 baht fine for late reporting.

Thanks to Lopburi3 and Lite Beer. I guess it's already too late to do anything and I'll have to pay the 2,000 B fine just before this year's extension.

If I travel out of Thailand in the meantime, will the Immigration restart counting from the new arrival date?

Yes but at the next 90 day report they will likely catch the non reporting and fine will be imposed. They do have computers.
