Do I need to perform a 90-day report with a non-immigrant O-X visa in Thailand?
Hi
I have a non immigrant O-X visa and go back and forth to the UK roughly every 6 months for 6 months. Last time I turned up to do the 90 report I was advised not required and come back in 5 years. No issues on leaving or returning.
I am due a 90 days report in early January for this trip but don’t want to waste my time again in immigration.
Does anyone know if I do or don’t need to report ?

Answer summary
The user inquired about the necessity of performing a 90-day report for their non-immigrant O-X visa, given their travel habits and recent advice from immigration officials. Responses indicated that typically, only a valid 90-day report (TM47) and TM30 are needed when interacting with immigration. Since the user's visa type generally doesn't require regular reporting if there are no significant changes, they may not need to report every 90 days.

You only need a valid 90 day report (TM47) and TM30 when you do something with immigration. Given your visa type, you have no reason to interact with immigration and therefore don't need to worry about these things.

hello, this really makes me curious and confused. If he is here for a 6 month period after 90 days does he not need to do a report?Brandon ************
@Jo *********
the immigration office wouldn't accept his TM47 so what else can he do?

only here for 3 months after the 90 requirement but if family requirements change then I will stay. Just don’t want to be in the bad books as like hoping aroundNeil ********

@Neil *******
yes agree. for how long is your O-X?Neil ********

thanks for this. If I wanted you to secure a Thai driving license ( although I have a 3 year international driving licence ) would I then need to do the 90 day report or is this still outside of interaction with immigrationJohn **********
@Neil *******
be aware that even though your international driving permit may be valid for 3 years it's only good for 3 months from the date you enter Thailand, after that you need a Thai driving license.

trust me,when the policesee your IDP they will tell you that you need a Thai licence ...and fine you 500 bht.John **********
@Neil *******
checked where? The insurance is the real problem, I'm not aware of any that will honour an IDP beyond 3 months. I'm sure it will be fine for cursory police checks but you don't want an insurance claim being denied.

yes that's the problem, the international driving permit is valid for ayear, but in Thailand you must have a Thai driving licence after 3 months or insurance is invalid. The driving licence is easy to obtain with the international permit.

OP@John *********
just checked and it states 1 year if from the UK although some insurance may become void after 3 months. I have the time so perhaps just get it doneBrandon ************
@Neil *******
technically yes you'll still need a residence permit from immigration. But if they're the ones who told you that you don't need to do it then difficult to do soNeil ********
OP@Brandon ***********
cool. Then might just keep my head down and see what happens
