Is it acceptable to skip the 90-day reporting requirement in Thailand?

ORIGINAL POSTERBoys and girls, is skipping the 90 days reporting still ok or...?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The 90-day reporting requirement for foreigners residing in Thailand raises mixed opinions among expats. While some believe that skipping this requirement is relatively safe due to low chances of fines, others stress the importance of adhering to legal obligations to avoid future complications. The fine for missing this report is 2000 baht, which some expats view as a minor issue, while others cite it as a potential risk that can lead to more serious consequences, particularly with changing immigration enforcement. Overall, compliance is advised to prevent any legal issues.

Welcome to Thailand, if you're going to come here play by the rules, and don't shame your passport.

Why play that game? With the way immigration loves to randomly crackdown on visa holders of all types for different things, it isn't that far-fetched to expect to see a time where they start messing with DTV holders, and making their lives hell for things like missing TM30s and 90 day reports. Do your best to stay away from any extra scrutiny.

even if I get fined once a year , 2k baht is a bargain for not having to do that reporting nonsenseLuit *****************
Anonieme deelnemer 956 Maybe they just should start getting people with r=this attitude out of the country...

Anonymous participant 956 lol take 3 min to have my agent do it for 500 baht. There are more potential risks to breaking the rules than just a 2k fine….

Its a legal requirement that you file a 90 day report if you spend 90 consecutive days inside Thailand. The fine for not doing so is 2000 baht but you will only be fined by an immigration office, not when entering or leaving

Let idiots do what they want, do come crying when you start have a record. Remember you are only a guest in the Kingdom, nothing more

Pure laziness and entitlement. Easy and quick process. They wouldn’t dare do it in their own country, but here it’s just "Mai Pen Rai". They’re the first ones to whine when issues arise and stricter rules are applied.Reply to
