ORIGINAL POSTER✈️📄 Update on 90-Day Reporting 📄✈️
Previously, I thought that when you went abroad, like to Japan, and then came back to Thailand, you had to report in-person at Chiang Wattana Immigration Division 1 within 24 hours!
About a month ago, I even made an appointment to save myself five hours of waiting.
When I arrived and showed them that I had re-entered Thailand yesterday (February 23rd), they told me I did NOT have to report right away. Instead, my new report date is May 23, which is exactly 90 days from February 23. See the picture.
So this seems to be how it works now. When you leave Thailand and re-enter, your 90 days resets from the date you return. You do not have to rush to immigration in-person within 24 hours.
Just sharing this so nobody else scrambles to the immigration office unnecessarily.
I do think you still need to report in-person. But maybe can do online afterwards. You could try online, but I’m not sure it will work.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The rules for 90-Day Reporting in Thailand have recently changed; when you re-enter Thailand after traveling abroad, your 90 days reporting countdown resets from your return date, meaning you do not need to report in-person within 24 hours. Instead, your next reporting date will be 90 days from your re-entry date. Although in-person reporting may still be necessary, there is potential for online reporting for subsequent visits. It's important to also note the distinction between 90-day reporting and the TM30 notification requirement.

You clearly were a bit confused.. 😮
When you come back into the country you need to file/update your TM30 <- notification of foreigner in residence .. That has nothing to do with 90 day reporting.
You are however correct about the fact that when you re-enter the country your 90 day reporting count down starts over and your NEXT 90 day report (which you do have to do in person) is due 89 days from the date you stamp in 🙂
