What are the rules for 90-day reporting and border exits on a DTV visa in Thailand?

@Jackie ******

It seems normal to me that Immigrantoin will check for visa requirements when you extend your stay, just like for all extensions of stay for other visa.

Unless you're living in the shadow of the immigration office, the local post office will always be closer 😂

correct 👍

no, but it's true that doing the 90-day report isn't particularly difficult, it's free and just requires a short visit to immigration office. If you don't want to take a chance just go do it...

But not doing it will only result in a fine (no ban) IF and when you require immigration services after your initial 90 days.

If you leave and come back you can start the process again from a new entry. If you already plan to leave the country soon, and if your stay in Thailand is very temporary then you shouldn't worry about it too much it won't cause you a big problem like getting banned or deported... However if you plan to live in Thailand long term without leaving the country and you think you will require immigration services later on then it's important to do the 90-day reports in order to avoid a 2,000 baht fine in the future.

Basically once you've been in the country for more than 90 days and haven't done a 90-day report you cannot access any immigration services at the immigration office without paying the fine.

Also the fines don't stack up, if you miss multiple 90-day reports the fine will still be 2,000 baht whenever you seek services at the immigration office

I guess nobody confirmed not doing a 90 day report and leaving Thailand after 90 days and coming back and going to immigration office and not getting fined for their previous non-report. All I read here are assumptions.

@Luit ****************

the fine applies if you don't have a valid 90-day report at the time of requiring immigration services at an immigration office when you've been in the country for more than 90 days... If you don't do a 90-day report, stay more than 90 days then leave the country, then later on re-enter the country, stay 90 days and do a 90-day report this time... Then when you need immigration services at an immigration office you have a valid 90-day report this time so no fines apply... They will not tell you that some years ago you failed to do a 90-day report before you left, because you never actually used any immigration services at that time. That's what I meant

@Alexandra ************

could it be because they checked your passport number on the system and they saw that you reported?

Anonymous participant 990 correct. And if they find out all you have to do is pay 2000.

Anonieme deelnemer 990 You can always choose to ignore the law of course, but 90 day reporting is easy, free and if you don't like to do yourself you also can let do it anybode else on your behalf.

If ignoring laws is your favorite, you don't evrn need to have a visa, just enter on exempt and never leave...

I think we should not promote ignoring the law here, so just respect the TM47 allthough it seems to be useless.

Anonymous participant 990 In theory you’re correct But with all things Thai immigration things move at light speed so what you knew on Monday is ancient history on Tuesday

Good luck
