ORIGINAL POSTER

I arrived BKK on 8th June 2022 on 30 day visa exempt and extended this to 6th August 2022. I then obtained covid extension for 60 days expiring 5th October 2022. Because Jomtien immigration require bank funds to be seasoned 2 months BEFORE applying for Non O over 50 visa and not the extension of stay relating to that visa I will have to wait until 20 September 2022 {2 months since deposit of funds from O/s} before I can apply for the Non O visa. As 90 days will fall on the 8th September 2022 am I obliged to file a 90 day report or does this only apply to people on a long stay visa. Any advice appreciated

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking clarification on the requirement to file a 90-day report after arriving in Thailand on a visa-exempt entry, having extended it and obtained a COVID extension. They have noted that they must wait until September 20, 2022, to apply for a Non-O visa, but are uncertain whether they need to file the 90-day report on September 8, 2022, since they are not currently on a long-term visa. Responses indicate that generally, the 90-day report is necessary only for those on long-stay visas, although some immigration offices may require it under new COVID guidelines.

As a general rule you only file a 90 day report if you’re on a visa/extension that allows you to stay longer than 90 days within Thailand.

However since the covid extensions some offices are requiring those that have been in Thailand for over 90 days to file one.

I’m not sure how Jontiem interpret the rule. Perhaps someone with direct experience of that office can advise - or pop in and ask them yourself.
