ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi ,

Wanted to share an update and looking for suggestions.

Recently applied for 90 days reporting online but received an email that it has been rejected.

And the mail says that “ For first-time requests of a 90-day notification in each country visit, in-person presentation at the immigration office is required”.

Does that mean every time after 180 days period is over or travel outside country before 90 days , reporting has to be done face to face?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The original poster's request for a 90-day reporting was rejected, indicating that first-time requests require in-person visits at the immigration office. The conversation clarifies that after the initial 90-day notification, if an expat stays in Thailand for 180 days, they must report in person. Furthermore, re-entering Thailand after leaving resets the 90-day reporting timeline, but it's uncertain if this also resets the in-person requirement.

Good question ie does the 90 day is reset when returning from outside country does the requirement for in-person also "Reset"? The online reporting always seems to have issues so I just do it personally locally as it is easy.

Correct (y) the very FIRST time you come in from abroad and go to do a 90 day report you have to go in person 🙂

Since they updated the online 90 day reporting program they made that rule

So yes, if you're going to stay here 180 days you will go in person and do a 90 day report once OR you leave before the 90th day and come back (because that resets the count down)

or they just don't do it 😮 .

The officers at passport control when you stamp out of the country don't care in the least if you EVER did a 90 day report or not (it's not their job)

@David *******

nope, 90 day reporting has NOTHING to do with exiting or entering the country AT ALL

@Tod ********

so if you don’t get picked up by the cops for some random reason you can just exit at 180 days and re-enter no dramas without reporting at 90 days

A similar level of disinterest when entering the country as well.

The worst thing that happens if you don’t file a 90 day report is that when you want something done at an immigration office they notice you haven’t done one and fine you ฿2000

Correct ✅

I've always thought that, but never tested. Cheers
