How do 90-day reports work for Non-O visas in Thailand?

Why did your friend waste money on a multi-entry Non-O then immediately go for the 12 month extension? He has basically used it as a single entry, does he have money to burn?

@Terry *******

you got your wires crossed . . . . with a multi entry Non-Imm-O visa you are not doing any 90-days reports at all. Because you will have to leave Thailand before your 90-days stay permit exspires. Thus, your 90-days clock starts at ZERO when you re-enter Thailand and get stamped in for another 90 days . . . . . .. ONLY when you changed from the visa to a "1-year Extension of Stay", you will need to do 90-days reports.

My 90 day report is due on February 9th next year after re entry. Got my visa renewed this week agent said my 90 day report will now be March 10th next year.

You also need to watch out for ‘gotchas’, like when you’re on a marriage visa. The visa expires on a certain date, so you go get an extension … that extension is a temporary 30 day extension as they verify your marriage ‘qualifications’ … they give you a date, (about 30 days from the time you applied) to return to the immigration office to get your 1 year extension … the tricky part is that the 90 day report is from the date you put in your extension documentation, not 30 days later when you go back to see them to stamp your extension into your passport (I made that mistake the first extention and was 30 days late on the 90 day report … no big deal, I just paired the 2L baht fine and was on my way)

I have an from Immigration telling me that it's from the date of the extension...he's wrong

If you have NO visa and do extension, address report should be done after 90 days and the same all the time you have extension

the schedule follows your entry. It doesn't matter about your extensions it's based on when you entered, and if you leave in the middle of your visa and then reenter under the same visa it will reset your 90 days to 0 and it counts from that entry.

Visa extension date and 90 day report date are unrelated.

What type of extension did he get?

Generally it's 90 days from the first time you're on a stay that can last longer than 90 days. A multiple entry non-O or even a single entry non-O visa only entitles you to 90 days in the country, so 90 day reporting wouldn't be relevant. But once you get a 1-year extension from a non-O, you're now on the clock for 90 day reporting. Normally when you receive your extension stamp in your passport is when they also staple a piece of paper telling you when your next(first) 90 day report is, which should be 90 days from when you receive the extension.

All that being said, each immigration office may have their own policy on 90 day reports, so it's always best to check with your local office to see if their policy is different from the standard.
