thailen Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I'm leaving LOS on Monday, September 4th. What happens if I fail to report? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 If you do not do the report before leaving you could be fined 2000 for not doing if they notice it when you do your next report after your return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsve Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 It is nearly like Ubonjoe says, but an overstay of 5 days are normally accepted, but the big question is, why not report in time and you will have no future problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would only be a late report not an overstay. Overstay is staying longer than your permit to stay date. There is a 7 days late allowance to do the report. Leaving the country is not the same as doing a report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsve Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Well, I would say that leaving the country is the same as to say, I am not living here anymore, but ok, I am not sure about what the thai laws say about this. Still I can not understand why "Thailen" can not report, it could be done up to a week before expiring day, and by this he get rid of the problem.

Also unless he's on a multi don't forget the re-entry permit (if I'm correct ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not the way that it was explained to me when I asked the same Q at immigration. You need to report 90 days after you re enter Thailand The very act of meeting with immigration officers at the airport (or any other exit port) qualifies as 'a reporting to immigration' You will need a re -entry permit. This can be purchased as you exit Thailand or an immigration office. I paid 1000 Baht on my last exit. My personal experience confirmed the foregoing procedure was valid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Meeting" an IO at the airport does NOT qualify as a 90 day report. Airport IOs are not interested in or involved with the 90 day report process.

chickenrunCM Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 there will not be any problem if you leave the country on the 4th, jus twhen you come back you need to report after 90 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novo58 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 The OP doesnt make it clear if he/she plans to return to LOS at any time. If you do return at any time in the future .......when you are next required to do a 90 day report they just might notice that you have failed to do a report previously and a fine may be applied. This will not prevent you from returning as airport immigration do not care about 90 day reports...........but your next visit to your local immigration office just might be a different story. The choice is yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewsterbudgen Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 If you report by post, 90 days after returning to Thailand the missed report is unlikely to be an issue. I've been in exactly this situation a number of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbolino Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 go sign in one week before you need to sign in ....problem solved I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcpoutre Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Is August 31 the 90th day since your last report? IMHO in that case you have to report ultimately on September 7, so the fact that you have not reported yet on September 4 should not be a problem. If August 31 is the last day you can report (so August 24 is the 90th day since your last report) there's legally no other choice than to do the 90 day notification.

fcpoutre Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Oops.... mathematics were never my biggest talents. But when Thailen leaves on the 4th, it fortunatelly does not make a difference for my reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 7 day grace period is just that, a period during which you can still make a valid report. It does not provide the option of not reporting. Leaving after the actual 90 days is up leaves you liable to pay a fine next time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it not be better to talk about the available window for 90 day reporting which extends from 15 days prior to the due date to 6 days after? ( I say six days because many count 7 days beginning the day after the due date and are then surprised when they are told they are late!)
