Do I need to submit a 90-day report if I've only been back in Thailand for 1 month after traveling?

90-day report Thailand immigration expat visa rules NON-O visa visa reporting requirements

ORIGINAL POSTER

Facts: I have lived in Thailand for several years.  In March, I did an online 90-day report for the first time.  I left Thailand for 3 weeks in April.  Today I received an automated notice that I have to do a 90-day report by June 16.  

Question: can I safely ignore the automated notice, or do I have to submit a 90-day report per the notice, even though I've been back in Thailand for only 1 month?

TLDR : Answer Summary

You do not need to submit a 90-day report by June 16 as indicated in the automated notice. Your 90-day reporting period resets upon re-entry to Thailand after leaving the country. Since you were abroad for three weeks, your next 90-day report will need to be submitted in July at the immigration office in person, as it will be your first report after re-entering Thailand.

Yes, you can ignore that.

Your 90-day counting will stop when you leave Thailand and start again on the arrival date as day 1.

90-day reporting system automatically generates a notification email from your last report online. It is not linked to your entry history.

When you travel out from and back to Thailand, you need to count your new 90-day report due on your own.

And remember, you travelled abroad since the last 90-day report, next 90-day report in July has to be done at the immigration office in person as it is the first report after re-entering Thailand.

Thank you for your response. However, in the past, I've done all of my 90-day reporting (even after taking trips abroad) by mail, and that has always been accepted. Has there been a recent change that I don't know about?

I don't think there has been any recent change regarding 90 days by post.

So, it would be acceptable for me to do the next 90-day report by post?

, You need to contact your local immigration office if they made any changes on their policy.
