scorecard Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Can one of the experts please advise on this question. Thanks. Also, I assume if the WP holder is living with company owner then the company owner needs to report there is a foreigner domiciled in his house. Is that correct? Thanks.

chrisinth Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I think it comes down to terminology again. If the work permit holder indeed has a 1 year visa, then it will be multi-entry for 90 day visits, ie, the visa holder has to leave the country at least every 90 days. If that is the case then they don't have to do 90 day reporting. If however the work permit holder is on a 1 year extension of stay based on work/marriage, etc, then yes, they will have to do 90 day reporting if they intend being in-country for more than 90 days. Not an expert, but that's how it works for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well PR holders don't have to do any reporting at all, ever, and house / hotel owners don't have to advise anybody about PR folks sleeping in their premises. But is PR a visa?

But is PR a visa? I doubt its a visa but all foreigners (on Visa's no matter what visa elite too) have to report for 90 days if they stay more than 90 days in the country. If they leave before the 90 days the counting starts again, you only have to report if you stay here more than 90 days. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post elviajero Posted May 2, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2017 Having a work permit has nothing to do with your need to report. If your permission to stay is based on a multiple entry non-immigrant VISA you have to leave on or before the 90th day, therefore, no need to report. If you have a 1 year extension of stay you have to report if you stay in the country longer than 90 days. Reports are required every 90 days. The owner, housemaster (person named in the properties house registration book (Tabien Baan), or possessor of the property should report any foreigner living at the address using form TM.30. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Non-Immigrant O(A) allows 1 year stays on each entry and therefore you are required to do 90 day reports, same as the TE visa, and both of those are multi-entry Non-imm visas - so you are not quite correct.

Ginkas Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 2 hours ago, dinsdale said: Yes. Every 90 days. If you fail to do so and do not exit the country you will be on overstay. Nonsense. You cannot be on "overstay" for failing to do a 90 day report. You're on overstay if you stay longer than your 'permission to stay' date. You can be fined for not doing the 90 day report but that is usually 2,000 baht. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natway09 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 A work permit is totally unrelated to 90 day reporting. A work permit is issued by the Labour Dept usually for a minimum of 1 year Your 90 day reporting is all to do with immigration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason not to do 90 day report. The 90 day report is totally separate silo from the universe. Its clock is UTC time. Ignore it at your peril.

IMA_FARANG Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Not recommended but if you leave every 89 days and then reenter one or two days later with another visa you never will have to d a 90 day report as you are never in country longer than 90 days in a row. However, the trips into ad out of Thailand will be ridiculously expensive. Not really practical but in theory, possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Miller Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 So to be sure I understand, I used my re-entry visa last week on return from Hong Kong, and the ninety day clock reset to day one? Then my next duty will be renewal of permission to stay for retirement. Yay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamgeorgeallen Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 from my experience of living and working in thailand. i had a non im B and a work permit. the visa required 90 day reporting. the work permit is separate from the visa, and man what a pain in the ass it was. even more difficult and expensive than the visa.

This 90 day reporting is so outdated and is one reason a company that I know decided not to locate here in Thailand because of their very dated immigration and WP laws Ok so they only would have employed a couple of hundred people but still if they came to this conclusion then how many other companies have also decided this I wonder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIR to employ 1 farang you need to employ 4 Thais. Therefore for a couple of hundred employees you could only employ 40 farangs. When I worked here with Motorola in the 1990s our HR department run by a lovely Thai lady covered all of that and we only went to the MoL once a year where our work permits etc were fast tracked.
