TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquired whether they need to check in with immigration every 90 days while on a non-immigrant O-A visa, which expires on April 8, 2025. Responses confirmed the requirement to report every 90 days, with mentions of the TM47 form for the report. A discussion ensued regarding the appropriateness of asking questions about immigration rules, emphasizing that no question is stupid when trying to understand complex regulations.

Such a stupid question
Why****
One who DOES ask a question is stupid for but a minute...

... One who DOES NOT ask a question at all, is stupid for a lifetime.

Do not allow humility to stunt your minds growth !

Why is it a stupid question? The OP doesn’t know if he needs to do a report so asks. Do you know everything about Thai immigration rules and policies? Perhaps there is something you don’t know.

Perhaps if you know everything you can become a moderator. Except even if you did with your attitude to posts it probably wouldn’t work out well.

point well taken….i just think people should go to the source on the internet ie….immigration….hotels…car rentals. If you travel to a different country people should know their rules and customs….I will refrain from my comments.

The internet is a mind boggling place for correct information. Loads and loads of misinformation mixed with some good stuff. Forums like these may help users get help where needed, but for me no question is a stupid question. The OP doesn’t know so asks. If I or another member can help then that’s a plus in my book.

Can it be done online?

In theory yes. In practice probably not if it’s a first report.

Thank you for the info. Simply a matter of going to nearest immigration office with Visa and passport and letting them know I am still here?

Download a TM47 form and fill that out and bring it with you.

You go to the office your TM30 is filed at. Different offices have different requirements, but in general you may need to fill out the form TM47 and have a copy of your passport, entry stamp and visa. Some offices have a drive up window where you just show your passport.
