What happens to 90-day reporting for a Non B visa holder who is currently outside Thailand for an extended period?

Question for the brains trust regarding 90 day reporting when not in the country - on behalf of someone who isnt a member of the group.

Visa status: Non B (work permit attached)

Re-entry permit: Yes

First 90 day report: No

The 90 day report deadline is coming up, but the Visa holder is held up outside Thailand (currently been away for approx. 2 months) due to unforseen personal reasons. My understanding is that there is a late reporting fee/fine to be paid if the person doesnt return by the reporting deadline, but further to that, if they end up being delayed by a futher month or so, what would be the impact on their visa, if any?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

TLDR : Answer Summary
For a Non B visa holder who is currently outside Thailand, the 90-day reporting requirement stops upon leaving the country. The reporting obligation resumes when they re-enter Thailand, counting from day one after their return. If the visa holder is delayed and cannot return before the reporting deadline, there is no obligation for 90-day reporting while they are outside Thailand. However, they must ensure they re-enter before their visa expires to maintain its validity.

You departed from Thailand, no obligation of 90 days (address of living) report, because you are not living in Thailand.

When you a came back, make a TM30 address report, and after when 90 days passed, make the 90 days notification report,

the 90-days countdown stop when you exit Thailand, and the 90-days clock begins to run again on day number one when you re-enter Thailand. you are allowed to remove the 90-days clipped receipt from your passport (normally Immigration on exiting Thailand would remove it)

You're reporting 90 days continual stay in Thailand.

They must enter before the visa expires or it’s back to square one applying for a new Non B.

Thanks Stuart, and assuming they re-enter prior to the visa expiry, there are no other foreseeable issues?

The requirement to report 90 days ceases the moment you leave Thailand.
