KhunBENQ Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) I have two vague reports that there would be no more 7 day grace period for "late" 90 day reports while earlier reports would still be OK. Does anyone have first hand experiences from recent days? Edited June 27, 2014 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Sounds like a rumor. It has been the same for many years and it is allowed in the immigration act so I doubt very much it will be changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerry123 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 why do you think any leeway should be allowed for lateness it seems to me it is always the foreigners who whinge about the Thais being late or unreliable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't report, would anybody other than immigration officials notice? It's important because it has a direct and immediate effect on you. It's mandatory to report every 90 days and you will be found out next time you pass through immigration or are involved in anything where the police wants your passport. So why would you not be on time. Send from my Galaxy S4 4G LTE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 There is nothing wrong with reporting a day or two late. I don't travel so I try to keep my report date close to when my extension is due so there is no need for an extra trip. I sometimes report late to keep it that way because of the 5 day loss every year. There is never a early report if it falls on the weekend or a holiday.

KhunBENQ Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 I sometimes report late to keep it that way because of the 5 day loss every year.There is never a early report if it falls on the weekend or a holiday. Exactly that is my reason too. I have a 100 km drive to immigration and want to keep 90 day reports and yeary extension in sync. The comments about Farang "being late" are useless. As long as the rules are valid I am not late! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCM Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Have to agree, why have you to turn up late; if train or plane its gone; My Reporting date was the 15th June (which was on a Sunday) so that's why I went on the 16th, so there are sometimes reason why you (sometimes) have to report late.

jimn Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I respect all the comments about reporting late but why on earth would you do this. There is no excuse, if you cant report on the day report early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 It is a report of being here for more than 90 days - it should not even be due until that time has elapsed. The requirement is to provide report 15 days prior until 7 days after that 90 day date. You are not doing late by following the rules. The notification must be made within 15 days before or after 7 days the period of 90 days expires. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
