ORIGINAL POSTER

Have a retirement visa and have left country and returned before 90 day check in. Do I still need to check in with immigration or does reentry count as check in?

TLDR : Answer Summary

If you leave Thailand and then return, you need to start counting the 90-day reporting requirement anew from your latest entry date. The previous check-in period does not carry over, meaning you are required to report your address and check in again based on the new arrival date. Some immigration offices may ask for a TM30 report depending on local policies.

You are reporting 90 consecutive days in Thailand.

Each departure and re-entry restarts the 90-day clock; your next check-in will be 90 days from your most recent date of arrival.

You may have to report your address on a TM30, this year it changed that if your returning to the same address you don't have to report, however, some offices still want you to report, check with them.

@Colin *********

whether or not you need to file a new TM30 is immigration office dependent. Originally I didn't have to file one when returning from overseas, then I had to file one when returning from overseas, now I have to file one if I spend even 1 night in a hotel. Staff changes at the immigration office resulted in rule changes

No, your next 90-day report due is the 90th day counting from the latest entry date as day 1.

The system doesn't automatically update the due date according to your entry date; you need to calculate it yourself.

You may need to do the first 90-day report after new entry to Thailand in person, as most offices require, depending on your local office.
