Should I file my 2nd 90-day report if I am leaving Thailand shortly after the due date?

ORIGINAL POSTERMy 2nd 90-day report is due on 13 November, but I will leave the country on 17 November. Since it’s still within the 7-day grace period after the 13th, should I still do my 2nd 90-day report, or can I just leave the country on the 17th? Will there be any problems?
I did my first report prior 4 days before the due date,
My visa will be expired nov 18th, but my 90 days report due nov 13th. So there is no overstay

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is questioning if they need to complete their 2nd 90-day reporting due on November 13, given they plan to leave Thailand on November 17, which falls within a 7-day grace period. Responses indicate that while technically they should complete the report, there is a general consensus that leaving during this period may not cause issues at the border. However, it is recommended to do the report to avoid potential fines or complications during future entries into Thailand.

Don't worry about it. Nobody will pick it up

What do you mean? There are enough examples of people getting fined at the next interaction at immigration office.Paul *******
@Luit ****************
Don't be a total moron. When do DTV holders go to immigration. And once they've left and come back it's irrelevant. I did it for years when on OA. Never picked upLuit *****************
@Paul ******
So when you follow the law you are a total moron? Is that what you say?And when you leave and come back, your violations will certainly not be deleted, where did you get that idea?
Apart from that, DTV holders also might need something from immigration, like a residence certificate.
Paul *******
@Luit ****************
You really think immigration will be looking for old and expired 90-day reports? Come on man, get real ffsLuit *****************
@Paul ******
Fact is that there are reports of people fined for not doing TM 47, so that means they certainly are looking sometimes for missing 90 day reports.It is not about what I think or if I think that is useful, but not doing TM 47 can cause a small fine.
Everybody has to decide for himself , accepting the risk of a small fine or carrying out a simple obligation, but it is simply not true that nobody will pick it up.
Paul *******
@Luit ****************
Yep. I did it for years on OA. All this rubbish about they will check for missing 90-day reports, it never happens. You leave the country, come back in, it resets.Luit *****************
@Paul ******
The 90 days reset, but the violations do certainly not reset, that is just BS. That you did never got fined does not mean anything here, others got fined.Paul *******
@Luit ****************
Yep. DTV holders don't go to immigration, same as OA.Luit *****************
@Paul ******
Maybe YOU never go to Immigration, just speak for yourself, not for other DTV holders and OA holders, because many go to Immigration for all kind of reasons.Paul *******
@Luit ****************
Can't think why any smart DTV or OA holder would go to immigration. I didn't for six years in the good old OA days!Luit *****************
@Paul ******
Maybe for a residence certificate to get a drivers licence? Or just because not everybody is so stubborn like you and not following the law and just do TM47 reporting like they should?I know you try to tell stubborn and anarchistic people like you are smart, but the rest of the world just sees that as dumb.
Paul *******
@Luit ****************
Applying for a certificate of residence has nothing to do with historical 90-day reports. It obviously worries you sick, so do what you think is right.Luit *****************
@Paul ******
You really don't understand it, do you? For a certificate of residence you need to go to an Immigration Office and you will need to have interaction with an immigration Officer to get that certificate.
So your remark that smart DTV holders never would go to immigration is just BS like almost all your remarks.
When that immigration officer looks into your info, it becomes clear you missed a TM47, and can decide to fine you with up to 2000 baht.
In case you behave the same at that office like you behave here, it will be almost certain you will get the maximum fine of 2000 baht.
Paul *******
@Luit ****************
You've absolutely no idea. I got certificates of residence when on OA with no 90-day reporting. Let me repeat: THEY DON'T CARE. Once you've left and re-entered it resets. 😂😂😂Reply to

Anonymous participant And you have to make the report as you are 90 days inside Thailand.
That Immigration allows you to make that report between 15 days before and 7 days late if you walk into the office, or 15 days before if done by mail, or between 15 days before and due date if you do on-line, has nothing to with the fact that you are actually 90 days inside Thailand.

The grace period is strictly to report, it is not an overdue date deadline. Do your report.
John **********
There is no grace period in this sense. If you spend 90 days inside Thailand you are legally obliged to make a 90 day report. The grace period only applies to reporting, not the requirement to report. So you can make the actual report in person from 14 days before through 7 days after
Waqar ********
What do you mean by 2nd 90 day reporting? It's not usually needed unless you did first report well advanced? Otherwise, you just leave the country before 180 days clock hits. Or do you mean 2nd report within the year i.e., it's your 9th month?
Stephan ***********
Officially you are supposed to do your report... but...
Leaving the country within the 7 days after due date doesn't mean you don't have to do your report. At the border there will definitely no problem, the IOs there don't care about TM.47, not their business. But... it might be, that when you go for your next report after arrival, they see in the system that you skipped the last report. Now it depends a bit on the mood of the officer... maybe you're lucky and he ignore it, maybe he ask you for a little contribution to the Immigration piggybank (max. 2,000 Baht). But even if that happens, that's not a big drama... it doesn't give you a bad record... nothing to worry about.
So... long story short... if you have the time, go for the report before you leave. That takes you 100% on the safe side...

wrong there will no problem at the next reportLuit *****************
@Siggi ******
Why are you so sure there will be no problem? There certainly are reports from people who did get a fine for missing TM 47, and when OP is in the country at day 90 the report has to be done, day 90 is November 13. leaves the country at November 17 which is after the due date, which means next interaction at immigration office MIGHT get him a fine.Stephan ***********
@Siggi ******
Wrong? What exactly? Did I say there will be a problem? I don't think so. But, since you are so confident, you can surely prove your statement?Toni *******
@Stephan **********
for me, i didnt have problem doing the next one after skipping one with border run (on day 92). I still wouldnt recommend it, since this is thailand :) for me, it was a mistake i just forgot itStephan ***********
@Toni ******
Yes, it happens rarely, but it can bite you. That's why I said... better safe, than sorry... :-)Toni *******

Over stay is VISA related. 90 days report is for the police filing. Two different things. You are definitely violated the VISA staying limited if you stay over 180 days and the fine is on per day basis and may involve consequences to your VISA.
Stephan ***********
Anonymer Teilnehmer 614 If he did his first report 14 days before due (for example), he would still have 14 days visa left before the next 90 day due date. So... no overstay at all. But... not enough infomation here to clear that.
Anonymous ******************
That’s correct. My point is don’t mix up VISA stay and 90 days reporting.

Technically ur 2nd 90days reporting sud be before 90 days, or else it consider as over stay. Incase of dtv visa
David ********
Anonymous participant 905 it's a 90 day report. It's not a visa issue that is for overstay id you stay past your visa. A 90 day report is for the purpose of reporting your the place where you stay. After the first in person you can do it online it's easy

@David *******
in case of dtv visa u cant report two 90 days back to back ... in 180 days u have to leave the countryDavid ********
Anonymous participant 905 so what are you asking if you know the answer report your first 90 days and then leave before your next 90 days it's easy right 👍
Stephan ***********
Anonymer Teilnehmer 905 You can report 14 days before due... if he did that his next report would be due on day 166, still 14 days on his entry stamp left. So... no overstay... but there's not enough information here to clear that.

It’s up to you really
It costs nothing to do it so you’re not out any money

This is kind of a confusing question. 2nd 90 day report would mean you've stayed in Thailand 180 days. But if you leave past the 180 days you stayed too long. or you received an extension? reporting starts back at day 1 when you leave and reenter Thailand. So if you stayed 90 days then left the clock resets and starts again.
So if you leave after staying 97 days in Thailand will you be okay for not reporting? Probably?

Anonymer Teilnehmer 480 It's only 180 days if he did his first report on due date or after... not, if he did it before.

Anonymer Teilnehmer 480 well noted. it would seem he has maybe wasted his 180-days stay permit on the DTV by November 17th. However, if he did his first 90-days in person four days before due date, then the dates match, and he is not in an overstay
Anonymous ******************
@Andreas ********
i see so if you do it four days before 90 days you have to do it again in 90 days starting from the day you reported, right?Luit *****************
Anonieme deelnemer 480 Exactly, and that is why I always advise not to do the first 90 day report too soon, better just on time or too late in the grace period.
And yes this is a stupid rule, when you extend a visa or visa exempt they start the extention at the end date of the visa or visa exempt, no matter if you are weeks before, but the 90 day starts counting at the reporting date and not at due date.

@Luit ****************
it's like the "application for extension denied, you have 7 days to leave the kingdom" stamp. It starts on the same dayAndreas *********
Anonymer Teilnehmer 480 yes, and that's why he theoretically could have stayed well below the 180-days number, even on two 90-days reports
Stephan ***********
Anonymer Teilnehmer 480 Yes, they don't add 90 days to the former due date, the new 90 days start that day when you report.
