ORIGINAL POSTER

Evening all, I have a small query (apologies if this has been asked previously). I entered Thailand on the visa exemption program (45 days + extension of 30 days). And have successfully just obtained a Covid visa extension. So i'll be coming up for 90 days fairly soon. I went to report for my 90 day check in (in BKK), and was informed by two different immigration officers that I did not need to do a 90 day report on "my kind of visa"...I didn't want to question or challenge them too much, and understand each immigration has their own policy...but I just don't want to be in trouble down the line...has anyone else had the same experience? or think this is normal/abnormal? anything to worry about?...thank you all in advance!

They received mixed responses from immigration officers, with some stating that a check-in is not necessary for their type of visa. Comments suggest that immigration policies can vary by location, advising the user to consistently use the same immigration office for future visits to avoid potential fines.

Just be careful and try to keep using the same office for subsequent extensions or anything else you need because if you go to one of the offices that does require it, they will fine you. It makes no sense but it is what it is.

Different immigration offices have different policies. I think that's the policy for Bangkok. I know it's the policy of Nakhom Pathom (next to Bangkok).

Am I required to file a 90-day report if I'm on a temporary visa exempt entry that is about to expire?
