Can I skip my 90-day reporting requirement in Thailand before leaving for Malaysia?

DTV Visa 90-Day Reporting Visa Rules Thailand Immigration Expat Life in Thailand Thailand Exit and Re-entry

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hey all! I'm coming up on my first 6 months in country on DTV, with passport showing March 1 as exit date. My plan was to fly to Kuala Lumpur Feb 28 and return March 2 for another 180 days. However, my 2nd 90-day reporting date is Feb 25.

Can I ignore the Feb 25 90-day report and just leave on the 28th? It will reset the 90 day report to when I arrive back on March 2nd right?

Edit - [members only]/

Can do 90 day report up to 7 days after due date for no penalty. Thanks for the responses.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is concerned about their upcoming 90-day report required by Thai immigration, which is due on February 25, as they plan to leave the country for a short trip on February 28 and return on March 2. Although some responses indicate they could technically disregard the report because of the grace period, risks such as fines upon return were emphasized. The consensus is that while they can leave without filing the report immediately, it's advised to stay compliant with immigration rules to avoid potential penalties.

thought about it, but meeting friends there and it didn't line up. But it should be fine, looks like there is a 7 days grace period after 90 day date

You can ignore everything you want, but why not just respect the rules of the country you visit.

Ignoring might result in a 2000 baht fine at your next interaction with Immigration and it shows your disrespect.

"Notification must be made within 15 days before or after 7 days the period of 90 days expires." You're safe theoretically.

LongTimeLivingInThailand What do you mean with "safe" ?

Not reporting is breaking the rules, you can report before day 90, or only in person after day 90, but NOT reporting is not a legal option.

Nope. If you spend 90 consecutive days inside Thailand you are legally obliged to report. It won't affect leaving and returning but the next time you interact with an immigration office inside Thailand you can be fined 2k baht for failing to report
