Do I Need to Do a 90-Day Report if I Haven't Applied for My Year Long Extension?
Just sat a chaeng watthana for 5 hours (I managed to miss my first number be called 🙄😂) to do my first 90 day report. Then when I was seen I was told I don’t need to do a 90 day report because I haven’t applied for my year long extension of stay yet and it’s only for those on an extension. I arrived in Thailand 28 November on a tourist visa and extended before obtaining a non b which runs out in April.
Due to family circumstances I am going home next week and despite going back and explaining this and checking again with the officer I am worried that I will get fined at the airport for not reporting as my school and friends are certain that I needed too.
Can anyone shine a light on whether it was correct for them to turn me away? Has anyone else had a similar experience?
My school have assured me they will cancel my permit before I leave Thailand. Is this right? They have kept the permit in their possession but I have got a copy of it to keep in case I need it. Could anyone advise whether there anything else I need to take care of before I leave Thailand?

Answer summary
The user discovered that they do not need to perform a 90-day report because they have not yet applied for their year-long extension of stay. They are concerned about potential fines at the airport despite being informed by an immigration officer that a 90-day report is unnecessary in their situation.

when you get your extension they will give you THIS paper
THEN you will do a 90 day report.

You don't understand the process
The tourist visa doesn't count towards the 90 days reporting.
You got a NEW 90 day Non-B and you don't do a 90 day report until you get your FIRST extension on that.

The Immigration officers at the check point when leaving Thailand are not interested if you did or did not make any 90 day reports. They will not give you any fines.

it looks like you are inside Thailand on the 90 days you got with a new stamp with Non Immigrant B visa from immigration Office and that you have a Work Permit?

I came on 28th nov, extended once and then swapped to non b. I have gone over my 90 days as I didn’t know about reporting so was worried about getting fined today but then they said no need. Activity
