I came in on a SETV, did 1 month on that and now have a 3 month Ed visa. When do I start the 90 day reporting? From the first date I entered Thailand (on the SETV), or from the date of the Ed visa? I will be extending the Ed visa for a year after the 3 months.

Immigration didn't say anything, so if anyone knows, would be great.

• When you apply for the extension of stay it will count as your 90 day report. So nothing to do between now and then.

When you are granted the 1 year extension they will give you your first report date which will be 90 days after the application date.

You as yet are not required to make 90 day reports.

Unless you are undertaking a university course a one year extension of the Ed Visa stay is unlikely.

If you do obtain a one year extension then 90 day reports are required every 90 days from the date the extension is issued.

It is a university course - thanks for the information

From what immigration officer has told be and from there website.

90 Day reporting starts from the day that you enter the country and has nothing to do with extensions.

Up to you which info you wish to adhere to. I always find that it pays to ere on the side of caution.

• The notification of staying in the Kingdom over 90 days is in no way equivalent to a visa extension.
• If a foreigner staying in the kingdom over 90 days without notifying the Immigration Bureau or notifying the Immigration Bureau later than the set period, a fine of 2,000.- Baht will be collected. If a foreigner who did not make the notification of staying over 90 days is arrested, he will be fined 4,000.- Baht.
• If a foreigner leaves the country and re-enters, the day count starts at 1 in every case.

What you have written is correct, but is not relevant to the OP's question.

At the moment he does not have permission to stay over 90 days, therefore, he does not need to make a report. If he stays over 90 days he has overstayed and simply required to leave the country. Once he applies for his 1 year extension of stay the 90 day clock starts and he has to report every 90 days thereafter. The first report date will be given to him by the IO when his extension has been granted.

Notification of staying in the Kingdom over 90 days

Procedure and notification

5. The first application for extension of stay by the foreigner is equivalent to the notification of staying in the Kingdom over 90 days.
