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.

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

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.
