What does a stapled paper in my passport indicate after extending my ED visa in Thailand?

Is this a valid 90 day report? Yesterday I extended my ED visa and found this paper stapled in my passport. Looks like they did a 90 day report for me. However I left Thailand last month with a re-entry permit and came back on Nov 23. I thought a 90 day report can only be done 15 days in advance? My 90 day report shouldn't be due until Feb 21.

Answer summary

The paper you found in your passport after extending your ED visa is not a valid 90-day report. Instead, it is a notification of the next 90-day report due date, which is calculated from when you applied for your initial extension. You are allowed to report your 90-day status 15 days in advance. In your case, since you returned to Thailand on November 23, your next 90-day report is due on March 13, 2024.

No, it's not 90 days report. It's a notification for your next 90-day report due date. Your 90-day counting usually starts when you apply for the first extension. Your next 90-day report due date is on 13 March 2024. you can report from the day 15 days in advance.

If they really did your 90-day report with your other application (sometimes they do), they would give you a 90-day report receipt (sample attached), instead of a notification like that.

Thanks for the info. What if I get another re-entry permit and leave Thailand again? Will my first 90 day report still be due on Mar 13? Or will it be 90 days from the day I come back to Thailand?

frankly you are at risk of being questioned by Thai Immigration Officers upon arrival back into Thailand. And possibly DENIED entry.

As you have an Ed Visa in your passport you are expected to be attending classes and pass tests.

Already we have several reports of those with the Ed Visa being seriously questioned by Thai Immigration Officers and some DENIED entry.

I suggest you NOT 🚫 leave Thailand again until your full course of study is completed.

Here is a recent report this year about one who had an Ed Visa and reentry permit...

If you keep leaving and re-entering while on an ED Visa you're going to get quizzed on why you're not in classes. Get a letter from your school to say you have been attending and that they are ok with you leaving for a short time.

If you leave Thailand before 13 March, your 90-day counting will start again on your arrival date as day 1.
