Payanak212 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) My 90 day report is due but I am planning to leave Thailand for a couple of weeks 30 days after my 90 day report due date. Is it necessary to report? Will I incur some kind of fine for late reporting? Edited July 9, 2015 by Payanak212 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 If you stay for 90 days you need to report. You can try to report online or othewise by mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowretired Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 A 90 day report is required when 90 days is spent in the Kingdom. Your 90 day report should be done. When you return from the trip the 90 clock is reset your day of arrival being Day 1 The penalty for failing to make a day report is 2-5000 Bht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payanak212 Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 so just to clarify I should report now even though I am leaving the country in 1 months time? the immigration person in my place of work told me otherwise but past experience has taught me i should check myself on Thaivisa thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) the immigration person in my place of work told me otherwise "strange" info or lost in translation. Legally there is no doubt: at day 90 you have to report, whatever your future plans are. Maybe its a "secret" info behind: when you return to the country sometime and you do a 90 day report the missed report from last visit might go unnoticed? Not sure, just speculating.

glegolo Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Dont listen to that "immigration.guy" he is wrong!!! You will have a penalty when leaving the country, amount as per above poster. Glegolo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 You will have a penalty when leaving the country Sure? I can not remember reports about that. Missed 90 day report is not overstay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payanak212 Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) My immigration guy has told me that the airport don't care about the 90 day report. You only pay a fine at the airport if you overstay your visa. If you report late for 90 day report at immigration then you will be fined. There is no fine for late 90 day report at the airport. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks Edited July 9, 2015 by Payanak212 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Immigration at the airport do not look for 90 day reports. You can ever take the slip for it out of your passport and they will not care. You will be fined at an immigration office for late reporting 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55bulldog Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Can't you just pay for a re-entry permit? When you come back I think it is considered like reporting because they stamp in a new date for you to report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Re-entry permit is unrelated. And the poster did not describe his visa status. One possible case would be a Non-OA multiple visa (not expired), which could explain staying longer than 90 days and NOT needing a reentry permit. If he is on extension then he needs a reentry permit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55bulldog Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 oooops, my mistake haven't had a coffee yet! Misread it.......but really just skip the 90 day.......some of the thoughts that people entertain. "Oh, I'll just not report because I am leaving in 30 days it won't be a big deal will it?" LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL "...but really just skip the 90 day ..." Not sure what this means. Maybe you need a second cup of coffee. Whether or not he has or needs a re-entry permit is irrelevant. If he stayed in Thailand for 90 + 30 days without reporting, he would be fined at immigrations. As said by others, when leaving at the airport there won't be a problem, but after returning to Thailand when reporting to immigrations for the next 90 day report or whatever, the omission of the previous 90 day report will be noted and a fine will be imposed. Maybe the immigrations officer who misspoke thought the O/P meant he was leaving Thailand for good and not returning, in which case the skipped 90 day report would probably go unnoticed.

peterb17 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Why is it that everyone seems to want to bend the rules- your 90 day is due- just go and do it. Not exactly difficult to understand . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gchurch259 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 What happened to the reporting at a 7/11 ? To me it is simple do the report or expect trouble. The 90 day does not cost anything but time to do it. We ExPats should do what is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delgarcon Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Never has so much been said about so little and nobody thought to ask Payanak if he is coming back! If not, don't bother to report, if yes, just get on line and do it and don't forget your re-entry permit at the airport on the way out. As the wise old owls have told you on here, stick to the regulations and you'll be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJAS Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 What happened to the reporting at a 7/11 ? That particular facility was, unfortunately, discontinued at 12:00:01pm on 1st April 2015 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercman24 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 reading Richard Barrow today, he says they are clamping down on 90 day reporting wanting more information, ie a copy of your rent gook, place of abode etc, anyone hear anything,? only in 2 weeks i have to do mine and i dont want to waste time-- queing up and when i get to the desk, "oh sorry we need more information " i just generally take my passport the 90 day slip of paper and the filled in form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many offices have asked for those copies for years. The comment by a local immigration officer cannot be taken seriously. Some offices have made it easier to where all you need is your passport and the receipt. Why would they make it harder shortly after starting the online reporting?

Payanak212 Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 To all those that have contributed constructive advice thank you so much. To those jumping to conclusions assuming I do not wish to report - at no point did I ever state that I did not wish to report. I was asking for advice on my situation after being given potentially bad advice from the immigration person at my place of work. Please help TV a positive constructive forum by considering all facts carefully before assuming someone has negative intentions. Some further info: 1. I will be returning after a two week visit back home. 2. I'm in. Non-b visa with work permit 3. I plan to buy a re-entry permit at the airport It does look as though the immigration person at my place or work is advising me to to take advantage of a loop hole in the system. My only concern is like someone said about getting fined the next time I report for 90 day. If that's the case my place of work will be responsible for that fee after I followed their advice.

Does your place of work employ Immigration Officers ? Perhaps you mean the place of work employs ill informed HR personnel?
