What are the correct procedures for 90-day reporting on a Non-O visa in Thailand?

Hi Guys,

I have a 1-year Non-O (multiple entry) based on marriage, which expires in May 2018.

I've either been misinformed or I've misunderstood the process for 90 reporting so I'm hoping someone might be able to clarify for me, please?

When I got my last 90-day stamp at the Laos border, the Thai Immigration officer told me that there is no reason to leave Thailand just to get a 90-day stamp. He said I could simply go to the Immigration Office in Roi Et to get my next stamp / do my 90-day report.

My current stamp runs out on Monday next week so I went to the Roi Et Immigration office today but was told that it isn't possible to get a 90-day stamp / do my 90-day report there and I need to do a border run.

The immigration officer told me that to get another 90 days from the immigration office in Roi Et I would need to provide all the same requirements as a full visa application (marriage certificate, proofs of funds in a Thai bank, etc, etc).

I'm confused! Is this correct?

Thanks as always.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking clarification on the 90-day reporting process for their Non-O visa based on marriage, which is due soon. They were informed by a Thai Immigration officer that they could complete the reporting at the local immigration office in Roi Et, but upon visiting, they were told a border run was necessary and that they would need to provide extensive documentation if extending their stay. The comments reveal confusion among users regarding the difference between completing 90-day reports and the requirements for border runs or extensions.

I have the same Visa and a very nice lady at Thai Immigration explained.

If you have a stick on page Visa, ie a paper visa stuck on to a page in your passport, you have to leave Thailand every 90 days. Multiple entry.

If you have a stamp, ie an ink stamp O visa , you can do a 90 day report at your local immigration.

It made it really clear and simple, we for me any way.

Hope it helps.

This is all very simple. You enter Thailand on day X. Your passport is stamped via various means with date Y that you must leave the country by. If the difference between X and Y is less than 90 days you do not have to report. If the number of days between X and Y Is greater than 90 days, you have to report to immigration every 90 consecutive days you are in the country. These dates have nothing to do with the enter by date on the Visa. Date Y Is the date stamped into your passport on entry or extension that you're permitted to remain in the country until. You must leave before the permitted to stay date or get an extension of stay stamp permitting you to stay longer. Also if you are on an extension of stay and wish to leave the country and re-enter on that same extension of stay, you need a re-entry permit.

Great introduction, it is indeed very easy.

only extension of stay can check in 90days at immigration. if its just a non o multiple, you have to do a border run every 90
Bobby ****
for immigration check in? you are right. just assumed OP didnt have either of those.
Robert *******
Also Non Immigrant O-A Visa, Thai Elite Visa and the new Non Immigrant O-X visa

And this is an example of an Extension of Stay:

When you have a Visa you get this stamp at the border with a date:

I also have a NON 'O' visa base on marriage and I have always done my 90 days reporting at immigration office in Bangkok. Please take proper advice.

If you're doing 90 day reports at an immigration office then you have an extention of stay based on marriage, NOT a visa.
Dominique **********************
No you have an extention of stay based on a non o visa
Jovelyn *******
Just bring your passport and fill up the form for 90days report. You can do this at any immigration office.
Steve *******
The OP has a visa NOT an extention of stay. He doesnt do 90 day reports.
Robert *******
His Admitted to Stay stamp allows him to stay till next monday. Does Immigration just extend and give him a new Admitted to Stay period just by showing up with a passport. I do not believe. 😥
Jovelyn *******
Every foreigner staying in the Kingdom with any types of visas, need to do the 90 days report which means you have to get a new stamp and it's given on a piece of paper. This is when you didn't get out the country for 90 days . But if you did go out before 90 days of your stay and then you do not need to report to immigration. Just count the days and this start when u enter the country again.
Steve *******
This is incorrect. With a multi entry non imm o visa based on marriage you need to leave the country every 90 days. You only do 90 day reports with an extention of stay.

Roi ET office are good. Check with them as to what you need as it may change.

My last application was submitted with passport, marriage cert, wife's ID and Blue Book,my yellow book, photos of us inside and outside house. Bank statement(some document within 24hrs of appliction showing balance required.) and photos of me.

Photo copies of all doc's.

Ok thanks.

You still have a choice.

Either go out/in for another 90 day entry.

Or, if you can get your papers in order by Monday, you can extend in-country. You can extend based on marriage or based on work.

It's more technical in the country, so some cannot do it. They are doomed to repeat border runs and visas. For those that can, immigration extensions are possible, which is when the border runs stop and the 90 day reports start.

As you already know: (marriage certificate, proofs of funds in a Thai bank, etc, etc).

Thanks Robert, what are the requirements for an extension of stay?
Robert *******
Your mixing this with the 90 days reports which are done if you're longer than 90 days inside the country, normally when having an Extension Of Stay from local Immigration Office which is valid for 1 year.
Clint *********
This is correct. You don't need to leave every 90 days. You can do the reporting online or at your local immigration office.
Steve *******
I got the same visa, doing my run tomorrow.

Thanks. Guess I'm off to do a border run this weekend then!

You need to leave every 90 days with multi entry non imm o based on marriage. You can only do 90 day reports with a yearly extention of stay. The OP states he has a visa not an extention of stay. He needs to leave every 90 days or apply for the extention
Robert *******
With a Visa, you only allowed to stay 90 days and have to leave. Can not just report online, you need a new Admitted to Stay stamp in your passport.
Robert *******
Mixing up two different things. As I understand you have a Multiple Entry Non-0 Visa based on marriage valid till May 2018. This means when you enter Thailand you will get an Admitted to Stay period for 90 days. Than you leave Thailand, come back in again and get another 90 days till the Enter Before date on the visa.
