What happens if I miss my 90-day report while on a DTV visa in Thailand?

There are people on annual extensions for longer term visas that NEVER do 90-day reports. It's not worth their time or effort, so they just pay 2000 baht each year at their extension and consider it a cost of their extension. Missing a 90-day report is not a big deal.

I love it when people mess up then try to game their way out of it. Take some accountability, bud, and be an adult.

Just fly out before the 6 months stamp runs out. Come back to Thailand and get to do the next 90 days report. If you are lucky they won't charge you for the previous one at all since you basically started the clock of 90 days again with your re-entry. If you got a bad luck, they will charge you 2k THB. Have never seen immigration asks you about your 90 days report when you fly out.

Don't worry about it :)

I'm Thai, so I am able to understand the law but I am by no means a lawyer but in layman's understanding......

Your understanding of "Max is 2000 per missed report" is incorrect.

As per the law "พ.ร.บ.คนเข้าเมือง พ.ศ. 2522 - มาตรา 76" Which pretty much translates to Immigration Act 1979 Section 76:

"ค่าปรับกรณีต่างด้าวรายงานตัวเกินกำหนด (แจ้งอยู่ในราชอาณาจักรเกิน 90 วัน) มีค่าปรับเบื้องต้น 2,000 บาท หากเจ้าหน้าที่ตรวจพบก่อนหรือถูกจับกุม จะมีค่าปรับสูงถึง 5,000 บาท และบวกเพิ่มอีกวันละ 200 บาทจนกว่าจะดำเนินการให้ถูกต้อง"

"You will be fined 2000 baht. But if they find out or you have been arrested you will have to pay 5000 baht plus 200 baht per day until you have correctly filed the report".

You can risk it if you want but, I want you to try and ask yourself whether it's worth it, AND whether you really think they would design it so that you can think in the following way (incentivising you NOT to report). If it is as you say I'd say the Thai Law is really flawed but from my experiences I doubt it's the case.

Ofcourse, there might be cases immigration let you go easy and fine you less than the worst, but by the extent of the law you could be fined a lot more than 2000.

I hope the people who said categorically that there are no fines whatsoever for non reporting on a 90 day check are reading this.

Actual evidence from people's experience. It can - and does occasionally - happen.

I probably say it's always better to come clean rather than wait till the next 90 day, because it shows intent to do it properly and genuine mistake. Get it sorted before the country exit or 6 month renewal because this might cause issues when you do that. 50 pounds is not worth potentially being denied re-entry.

You had one job haha! Tell your story to immigration and pay whatever they charge or it will only get worst

I missed a 90 day report. I went in to immigration and apologised and they only charged me 300thb.

If you do get caught it's actually 4000 so I would just go pay the 2000

As you allude to they might catch it and they may not. Depends how eagle eyed the IO is. A pal of mine on the B never does his 90 Day Reports. Fine is paid once a year upon renewal through the lawyer his company uses.

IF you wait and report after your next entry and the Immigration Officer fines you 2.000 Thb it does NOT help to show Facebook comments made by anonymous animals.

Gamble and see what happens.
