What happens if I miss my 90-day TM47 reporting in Thailand before flying out?

@Michael *******

yes, that's what i said, and that's why I corrected you.

"...applies to visas FOR a minimum of one year"

"...applies to visas OF a minimum of one year"

See the difference ?

"...only applies to visas FOR a minimum of one year". This suggests that 90 day reporting only applies to visas for a minimum of 1 year. That you will need to do 90 day reporting, on ANY and ALL long term visas, for at least the first one year of the visa, maybe more.

"...only applies to long term visas OF a minimum of one year". This says that only long term visas that are valid for a minimum period of one year require 90 day reporting. Any visas of a shorter duration do not require 90 day reporting. Which is what you've just experienced, which is why I try to explain the fine difference.

So what everyone was telling you was CORRECT and TRUE, for all visas requiring 90 day reporting.

But you've said "You are all wrong", like they are all idiots and you on your own have trumped them all.

@Michael *******

you speak more languages than I do, but I can see where you went wrong, and hopefully we can prevent it happening again. So yes, anything less than one year, including your 3 month visa - no reporting required. And if you get a 12 month extension of stay, then that WILL require 90 day reporting, continously, for as long as you are on that visa. Do it no less than 14 days in advance online/post, or upto 7 days after in person, or 2000 baht fine.

To get the most accurate answers, you should start by stating your passport/citizenship, and the visa you are currently on, and what you are trying to achieve and why. It will us all time, and money, and prevent people banging their heads against a wall continuously.

@Elisa ******

Believe it or not... there is no "per day" or "maximum"... the fine is fixed, it doesn't matter you are late one day or 10 month. But yes... on a good day they might give you a "discount"... as usual it's all up to the officer.

Only if you get arrested, then this 200 baht come on top... but that's not what we are talking about right now.

@Stephan **********

OK I am leaving this conversation. You can be right if that makes you happy.

@Elisa ******

I am right... just take it... 🤣

@Michael *******

Laws are always flexible... kind of... and the other thing is the enforcement... 😁

@Elisa ******

a bunch of middle aged men itching to belittle someone... sounds about right here 😞

@Selena *******

Oh my... it's not about that... but what she tell is just wrong. That's all...

But what do I know...? I'm just one out of the bunch... 🤣

Have a nice day...

@Stephan **********

🥱 same old rethoric within these groups...

@Michael *******

oh I'm very much in love so therefore my day is wonderful. Thanks for asking ✌🏽

@Michael *******

I know... wasted time... but somehow I'm in the mood today... 🤣

@Elisa ******

Well... maybe then you should also edit your definetely wrong statement about the "200 baht per day" fine... there is no such thing!

@Michael *******

I'm serious... a friend was charged just 1,000 bath for three days late... he was a the hospital after an accident. Even the IOs have a good day... sometimes... 😎

@Stephan **********

I am in Samui and I guess immigration here is nicer ?

@Elisa ******

Compared to Phuket? Not in my knowledge... we are quite blessed here with our guys.

@Michael *******

Nah... I don't think so... not even the guys here at Phuket are that nice... a broken leg or arm would count... on a good day... 😎

@Michael *******

can be done on- line,

Years ago many prob with on line , now ok.

My immig is close so I like to visit myself, they see you often enough your yearly can be bearable.

@Michael *******

that's why suggested " he get down there "

@Roberto ********

just caught that...sorry.

@Michael *******

Can you provide the actual link to this screenshot please?

@Michael *******

I can't access that, but I can only assume if a person is arrested for some other offence and hasn't notified, the fine increases. Trust me, you are not arrested for not filing a 90-day report. I know several people who can't be bothered with the process and simply pay the 2000 baht for THREE missed notifications when they go for visa extension

@Michael *******

It's very possible! On a 12-month extension you need to report three times, but you can only be fined once. I know people who do it. They reckon it's cheaper than the taxi/train fares to immigration!

@Michael *******

Elite

@Michael *******

Just over 4000 bahts a month for 20 years of no hassle, some believe it's worthwhile. I agree though with the new price that went up 5 times

@Michael *******

ED visa generally is not a 12-month stamp, you have to extend every three months. Non-O visas are usually 12-month extension stamp

@Michael *******

I know. 15 years living here you get to know how the system works

@Michael *******

This is an open forum, and the admins do not like PMs. You can ask me anything right here

@Michael *******

You can try doing it online. Your location is irrelevant. Otherwise do it by conventional mail, but you must post it 15 days before it's due. Otherwise get your hotel to file a TM30, and then go to your local immigration office and file the 90-day

@Michael *******

You have to do it in person. Get a screenshot of your TM30 from hotel or lodgings where you are now and then go to the immigration office

@Michael *******

Your friend can do it. In fact your friend is required to do it by law. Get your friend to register online, and then add you as a guest

@Michael *******

It's only when foreigners visit.

@Michael *******

then you can only do in person as others have told you

@Michael *******

When is it due?

@Michael *******

It's no big deal for immigration. They're more concerned with overstays. The 47 and 30 are just administrative processes which get them extra dosh in fines

@Roberto ********

I know there is leeway. You asked how much more did I want. I don't.

@Lynnette ******

Ah ok. You said you "thought" - I didn't know that you already knew that

@Roberto ********

lol. Sorry, it was meant as "I thought so. . "

@Michael *******

everytime you change living locations a new TM30 must be filed of your location within 24 hours by the hotel/landlord/owner where you are staying. The local immigration office corresponding to this location of your current TM30 is where you file in person, no exceptions.

@Brandon ***********

I am sure you are correct, being so knowledgeable Brandon, but I read somewhere that online reporting was 14 to 7 days before the due date. Is that incorrect or like many things, does it vary?

@Stuart **********

varies by office. And Bangkok seems to change their approval policy from week to week

@Brandon ***********

to be expected I guess. I will stick to my method of applying online about 8 days before the due date, as it seems to work (so far).

@Michael *******

when the window for online reporting closes.

@Michael *******

yes I have 1 year visa. It seems to vary from office to office, some only allow online between 14 and 7 days before the due date.

@Michael *******

no idea why, but presumably they are processed by the office that holds your records and their rules apply maybe🤔

@Michael *******

no, you must do that 14 days before your due date.
