FOR MY FIRST 90 DAY Visa Extension Check-in, do I have to go to Immigration exactly on the 90th day? Or are there a window of days grace to check-in around the 90th day?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The first 90-day check-in for foreigners in Thailand does not need to occur exactly on the 90th day. There is a grace period where you can report your status between 14 days before and 7 days after your due date. It's important to differentiate between a 90-day report and a visa extension; the 90-day report is a notification, not an extension of your visa.

Interesting question is my passport clearly shows my reentry date but doesn’t show that I left 5 days bf first 90 day thing at immigration. Do I need to bring proof of my flight date out of thailand or was it recorded by a scan at the airport and inputted in my immigration record ? like it’s an interesting question. Nowhere have I seen anybody talk about how u prove the date u left country was just before the 90 days had expired, and not give them chance to suspect u actually left just after for example. Do people bring flight records to immigration. Does that suffice? Or do they have other means of determining that they can access the info internally when u appear at the 90 day ?

I wanted to clarify what i was asking - u did a great job answering that 14 days bf to 7 days after works. Thanks for that. I left to US 5 days bf my 90 days expired and came back on multi reentry permit….. Which I assume bought me a new 90 days bf I need to report to immigration.

I’m already on 1 year extension of stay expiring next spring. issue is that I haven’t gone in yet for my first 90 day whatever the nomenclature is: “check-in” “report” or “notification” to immigration. The every 90 Day reporting all expats on Extension of Stay must fulfill. I’m just wondering since first 90 day thing needs to be in person, is there any flexibility or do is the 90th day the one and only day to appear or can I go a day or 2 before the 90th day.

“FOR MY FIRST 90 DAY Visa Extension Check-in”

What a terrible terminology.

“visa extension check in” ???

You can’t extend a visa. You can only get a stay permit extended. The 90-days Non-Imm-O visa you entered with became invalid when you entered Thailand. It can’t get “extended”

WHAT do you want to know?

***Do you want to know from how many days before your 90-days stay permit expires, you can apply for the 1-year Extension of the Stay Permit?

ANSWER: you can apply for the one-year extension as soon as 30 days are left on your 90-days stay permit. On some Immigrations you can apply 45 days before

*** or do you want to know how to do the 90-days report on Immigration?

ANSWER: you must do your first 90-days report in person. You can do it up from 14 days before due date until 7 days after due date

To be clear. A 90 day report is not an extension.

@David ********

a ‘90 day’ is to report, nothing else & as long as you stay in Thailand, it’s for life unless mistaken with Elite.

Noted. But since this is my first 90 day report, i know i need to show in person. I just wanted to know if i need to go report to immigration exactly on 90th day, or is their any flexibility to report a few days before, or even a few days after the exact 90th day.

I can confirm it’s for either your 1st 90 day report or even 50th when doing it in person.

the annual renewal of the "1-year Extension of the Temporary Stay Permit" can be applied for up from 30 days before the current Extension of the Stay Permit expires
