macknife Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I have a work permit and have lived here for many years. Sometimes I get a bit slack on my 90 day reporting. Since my last extension of stay, I kinda forgot to report for almost a year. Last month I traveled out of the country and have recently arrived back. If i go to report for the 90 days will i be fined for not reporting before or is that now null and void since I left the country recently? In other words is my 90 days reset as I left the country? or will I still be held accountable for not reporting in the past? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayned Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I didn't do reports for six years while I was teaching. When I quit and applied for a retirement extension I was truthful with the officer fully expecting to be fined. She gave me a new report date with the warning "don't let it happen again" but no fine. I guess that it's a case by case basis and depends on the mood of who you talk to. In my case it was a small office where the same people did it all, not big like Bangkok with different sections.

macknife Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 If Immigration notice the discrepancy you may well be fined. Bangkok immigration have often noticed the discrepancy while receiving my 1 year extension of stay. After stamping my passport for another year, they would often then tell me to go over to the 90 reporting section to pay my fine. I didn't go and simply walked out happy with my renewal. However, I would like to stay on top of it this time, so back to my original question. If i go to report for the 90 days will i be fined for not reporting before or is that now null and void since I left the country recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnydrops Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 When I went in for my marriage extension they went though my passport with a fine tooth comb. I was told then that they were looking for passed overstays. When I went in for the 90 day with the required paperwork, they didn't even look at the paperwork or look at my passport. just took out the old 90 day slip and put in a new one.

Maestro Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 It is not legally null and void, so it really depends whether the immigration officer will check on it and collect the fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 If they check their records and notice that you have not made reports before making trips out of country they could still fine you. I suggest you have 2000 baht handy as a just in case measure. Are you aware that you could be making the reports by mail.

See: http://www.immigration.go.th/nov2004/en/base.php?page=90days Thanks for you reply. I notice on the link you posted that at the very bottom it states: If a foreigner leaves the country and re-enters the day count starts at 1 in every case. So perhaps it is reset, and simply don't show them my old 90days slip and just show my new arrival card? @bunnydrops: I didn't overstay, I just didn't report.

ubonjoe Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 They do have computer records for 90 day reports. For mail in you will need copies of departure and entry stamps. I suggest you hi light the relevant stamps on copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiFelix Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Did my 90 day report on Monday and always with Mondays it was very busy. However I did notice the ladies where constantly retuning forms for the slightest errors such as 'room number/' and 'apartment or house?'. Never seen them so thorough before....seems like a crackdown. The clock for 90 days restarts when you enter the country again and you most likely get away with it...for now. However one day they may wish to scrutinize your passport and records more closley such as happened to me when I presented a new passport to have the stamps put in it. They went thru everything with a fine tooth comb, found a problem, which I still dont know what to this day, but it ended up involving everybody in the Pathum Thani office to check alongside there calenders. No fault of mine it turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacko45k Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I had an interesting occurrence recently. When about to leave a hospital after a couple of days stay, some guy came asking about my visa/ and 90 day status. He diidn't want to check anything, but I wondered whether it had any impact on my Insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had your visa been nearing expiry the hospital could have "fixed" things with immigration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mario2008 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 15 days before till 7 days after the due date. Some offices only allow you to report after the due date I done in person (not by mail). BKK immigration wants you to report at least 15 days before the due date by mail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 It is due 90 days after you got your extension. The first extension counts as a report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 More like the 27th since the 28th is on Saturday. Or the 2nd of Jan. which would be within the allowed 7 days late allowance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
