For the online extension the online approval of address says to apply on 7 August.

The email reminder says to apply “on or before”

So which is it ? Apply on the 7th or apply before the 7th?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking clarification on whether to apply for the online extension on August 7th or before that date. There seems to be confusion regarding the difference between applying for a visa extension and the 90-day reporting requirement.

Are you referring to 90 day reporting (rather than extending a visa)?

Ok. I thought so. As you’ve had a reminder email you must have done one online before.

With the online system you can file again with a window of 14-7 days prior to it being due. Some offices (it gets routed to your office) may allow up until due date but seeing many reports of not being the case.

When is your due date? Not the date to apply but the due date. If it’s between 14-7 days out apply online and see what happens. If it gets rejected for whatever reason at least you have 7 days after due date to apply in person.

It's officially 15 days early until due date when reporting online.

So,you have 4 days from today to do it online. If it doesn't work, you can do it in person 7 days after the due date,counting from the due date.

@Graham *****
Since when is that official?

early this year

@Graham *****
Show me the official statement,please. I can of course find it myself if it exists. Because at Jomtien immigration on the counter it still says 15 days early until the due date.

@Max ************
in person yes but not online

@Graham *****
Can you even read? In person it's 15 days before and 7 days late. Online, still according to Jomtien immigration, 15 days before until the due date. Do you even do your reports yourself?

I give in with you, you cannot accept being corrected

@Graham *****
Seen some reports of it being accepted after the 7 days prior. Like anything here probably office dependent.

@Steve ***
You can do the online report up to 15 days early until the due date. If it's your first 90 days report, you can't do it online.

in detail it says: the personal report can be done up from 15 days before due date until 7 days after due date . . . . . . However, the online report can only be made between 15 days before until 7 days before due date. If it is his first 90-days report, he has to do it in person
Graham ******
@Nongnuch *******
Yes, I know!

@Nongnuch *******
He got a reminder email which indicates he’s already done at least one online report.
