If I leave Thailand every 90 days, am I still required to do the 90-day report?

LOL, I've given up - a pleasant 20 minute drive to the very friendly, quick & helpful Sri Racha office every 3 months is just fine for me.

@Mark *****

the new version is quite a bit simpler/easier.

The only part of that I can disagree with is "filing online is quite easy". I've never been able to get it to work in 3 years, but it's not really a problem for me anyway, I'm 20 minutes from my local Immigration office. :)

staying in Thailand 90 days incurs the obligation to file a 90-Day Report. Leaving the country within 7 days does not discharge that obligation, only filing the report does that.

You can legally satisfy the 90-Day report obligation by filing your 90-Day report every 96 days. On the other hand, filing is free, and filing online is quite easy, so I tend to file 14 days before it's due. Over time I will end up filing an "extra" report because doing it early "costs" me several days.

@Mark *****

the "wiggle room" or grace period is time in which you can still file the report, it's not additional time past 90 days that you can stay in Thailand and then leave and not file a report.

Hmm, that doesn't sound logical to me if they give you 7 days "wriggle room", but TIT, so I'll take your word for it and file that info away. :)

Ray Mansfield Correct, some people have been here for years and have never done a 90 day report
