Just to let others know if you didn't already know, ref you Retirement visa stamp or other stamps and the 90 day report.

I got my retirement visa stamped in my passport dated 2nd July 25 ok. Put the small bit of paper they give you to tell you your next 90 day report was dated 19th May 25. Now this confused me as I thought the stamp in my passport was the time the 90 days would start from (Wrong) it's the small bit of paper that was dated 29th May that the 90 days works on. They told me you need to go by this date and not your visa stamp. So as you can see my next online report now is the 16th Nov.

Hope this helps anyone out as it was a bit confusing for me.
Answer summary
A user shares their experience regarding the timeline of the 90-day report after obtaining a retirement visa in Thailand. They initially thought the report date started from the visa stamp in their passport, but were informed that the 90-day reporting date is noted on a separate piece of paper issued by immigration. Clarifications in the comments suggest that the 90-day report should be counted from the date of entry into Thailand, not from the visa stamp, and emphasizes the importance of adhering to this process to avoid confusion. Additional advice about renewals and the handling of reports at different immigration offices is provided in the discussion.

Do I have to report to immigration within 24 hours of reentering on a retirement extension?

@Yu-Li ***
in theory yes, but many immigration offices do away with reporting when you come back to the same address you reported prior to your trip (via TM30)

Jomtien must be very special 😁😆 My Immigration is different - they will change the 90-days report due date according to my visit in their office. Been doing it like that since 17 years. The advantage of these upcountry Immigrations are, I will always be done and dusted in 20-25 minutes after entry into the office: for the 90-days report, a new 1-year extension of stay and a single re-entry permit. When I lived on Jomtien Beach for 2.5 years, I never reported my stay, I kept my TM30 in upcountry 😉

Nothing special with Jomtien immigration.They're doing it the correct way. Sorry,but I don't believe your immigration office "changes" anything.90 days should always be counted from the day you're submitting the report.

as I said: My EOS expires on January 4th every year. I entered October 4. So my 90-days report is due on January 3. If I apply for the extension on December 23, They put a new 90-days report slip into my passport with the next 90-days report due date as March 22. That's how they have been doing it since 17 years

what a joke: on the contrary, Jomtien Immigration is known for undermining the official police orders. They make their own rules, their own interpretations

The day number 90 after your entry would be July 11. (It’s easy to calculate as the one-year extension begins on July 12 - the day after the expiry of your 90-days stay permit when you entered on a Non-Imm-O visa)

***Normally your visit on Immigration on July 2 could be looked at as being an early 90-days report (9 days early)

***but since the due date is July 11, your next report should be on November 10

*** Instead, they stamped November 16 as the next due date. I bet they just set the stamp roller wrongly – a “6” instead of a “0”. Still wrong, but this is Thailand.

Whenever I show up at Immigration to apply for the yearly extension, I chose a date that is within a 14 days period until the expiry of the previous extension.

Immigration will always give me a new 90-days report slip and count the 90-days from the day I visited them for the EOS application.

***In your case it would mean they count the next 90 days from July 2 onward, that would make November 1 the next due date.

I have no idea where they dug out the extra 15 days

Actually since the real due date is July 11, the 90th day after your entry, your next report should be on November 10

So it still is wrong. I reckon they mistakenly set the stamp roller to “6” instead to “0”

At Jomtien immigration they never add or subtract anything to the 90 days reports, even when it comes to the first 1 year extension.It's 90 days counting from the arrival date and that goes on forever as long as you're in country.The printer the guy behind the desk is using, is spitting out the next receipt and it's always correct.

When you entered Thailand on a single entry Non-Imm-O Visa, you were stamped in for a 90-days stay permit.

Check your entry stamp, I guess it says “admitted until July 11, 2025” with that date in blue ink

***You visited Immigration on July 2 and received a “1-year Extension of the Stay Permit” until July 12, 2026. The one-year extension normally begins to count on the day after your “admitted stay” expires

You did not receive a “retirement visa”. This stamp is not a visa. This stamp is a stay permit

***your first 90 days report was supposed to be on day number 90 after your entry. You went to Immigration on July 2, so I don’t understand why they wrote November 16 as the next report date, because it is neither 90 days away from July 2, nor 90 days away from July 11 which would be day number 90 after your entry. Your next 90-days report normally should be on November 10

*** they clearly made a mistake, probably took a “6” for a zero “0” in the stamp roller.

I wouldn’t worry too much, just report again on November 16

check the stamps in your passport. Don't confuse the visa validity with the period of the stay permit

If you renew it online it seems to adopt you into the system and you will receive a reminder e-mail close to renewal time.

As I reported in to renew my visa with all the required information and photos, do you not think this is enough to restart the 90 day report so it ties in with next year retirement visa

@Gerald *******
No mate I don't. You got a 90 notice sheet that gives the date? Also.. 90 day report is not linked to to renewels. If it's close enough you do it at the same time, but if you do it early the next couple of times it's 'out of sync' again...

I always want my 4th 90 days report to be submitted a couple of days before my 1 year extension.Meaning, I always do the first three reports 5-6 days late to move due dates a bit. 👍

If it’s your first extension from a Non O then they’ll usually put a small piece of paper in your passport notifying you of your next due date like this.

If it’s not your first extension then your 90 day requirement doesn’t change from the previous one. That’s due 90 days from your last report regardless that you’ve just got a new extension. Or 90 days from entry if you’ve been out of the country

90 days after you entered the country is the correct date.

Looks to me like they did you a 90 day report without you applying for it. First class service from Samut Prakan immigration office.

Yes you are correct your next report date is 16th November.

Already well known in expat circles. The 90-day report is made when a foreigner has been in the country for 90 days. It has no connection to visa or extension

The day for the next 90 day stamp is 90 days after the last stamp or 90 days after the last arrival in Thailand, whichever is later. It’s not connected to the visa or extension dates.

@Ludwig **********
it is connected to your extension date if it is your first extension as prior to that, while on a Non-O, you did not have to do 90 day reporting

@Graham *****
At some offices it's still 90 days from arrival even when doing the first 1 year extension.

@Max ************
yes because the first stamp on a Non-O is 90 days then extended for 12 months and do the first 90 day reports 90 days later i.e. 180 days after entry
