If you have a report of staying longer than 90 days in the country due when leaving the country after the 90th day you would need to do the report. If you are on an extension of stay you need a re-entry permit to keep it valid when your return to the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A single re-entry permit costs 1000 baht and a multiple 3800 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not getting a single entry tourist visa would be best since the 60 day entry from it would allow more time get a non-o visa entry and with visa exempt you might need a ticket out of the country within 30 days to board your flight. To apply for a conversion to a 90 day non immigrant visa (class O) you must have at least 15 days remaining on your entry to app ply at an immigration office. Note that not all offices can do the conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris1010 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 you say if I get a 30 day visa exempt I might need a return ticket has anyone had this problem? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Yes people have had the problem and had to rush to buy a ticket to board their flight. Some have been forced to buy a unneeded return ticket when all that is needed is a onward ticket. If you don't want to get a tourist visa then the best option is to buy a low cost one way ticket to a nearby country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gtto Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I have a similar situation. I had a non B visa and got an extension of stay based on retirement. B visa is no longer good. Arrived from US yesterday and was supposed to report on Aug 7. Am I also ok for 90 days? When you have an extension is a visa no longer necessary? Thanks.

Unless you have stayed in the country for 90 consecutive days you do not need to do a a report of staying in the country for longer than 90 days. It does not matter what type of visa or extension you have, Your report will be due 90 days from the date you enter the country including that day in the count.

You can then apply for an annual extension in the normal way at your local immigration office within 30 days (or 45 days at certain larger offices) of the permission of stay granted under this visa expiring. In this way you would avoid purchasing an air ticket which would then be wasted, as well as enduring the cumbersome non-O visa conversion process referred to by ubonjoe!

If that is correct, is it possible to fly out within 97 days without making the 90 day report and without penalty? I have a flight scheduled on day 91 and do not want problems at the airport but do not want to unnecessarily make another report. Thank you very much.

The 7 days after is to do the report and that includes the report date in the count. Leaving the country is not equal to doing a report. Immigration on departure from the country are not interested in 90 day reporting. If you don't do the report before leaving the only problem that can occur is when you do your next report would be if they notice you failed to the report. If they noticed you could be fined 2000 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
