What is the fine for not submitting a 90-day report in Thailand?

@Daniel *********

Says the numpty who is telling people the maximum fine is 2000. 🤣 Oh youve only got 180 days in the country. So tell me how you can miss it 10 times. 🤣

@Andrew ********

You only pay at immigration, you don't pay at airport

@Daniel *********

You can be arrested at the airport and pay.

@Andrew ********

it's not a crime. Its a civil offense...hence only 2,000 THB fine

@Daniel *********

Honestly. Do everyone a favour and stop posting garbage.

@Andrew ********

yeah you're right, it's 5,000. But you can't be arrested for it

@Daniel *********

You can be arrested and deported... A random police check and that can happen to you. And the penalty is up to immigration; check the law. If you're planning not reporting once within the next 5 years, they will see it and they definitely can decide to do so... They don't need to catch you 3 times before. Deportation is valid for any repeated offense; it's not only about the 90 days report, it's for any immigration rule.

Anonymous participant 615 I did check the law. Maximum penalty 5,000

@Daniel *********

You need to check the rules on deportation... Not only the ones about 90 days. Deportation can be decided for repeated violations over multiple years that create a pattern of non-compliance... That's a general law that covers any offense and immigration related issues. It's certainly not common but possible; most likely if you get into troubles for any other reason (willingly or not). In Thailand you're fine until you get caught for something, they will then try to find whatever to charge you at the maximum.

Anonymous participant 615 yes, it's about money. Civil offense. Not criminal. Is it possible you could be deported? Anything is possible, anywhere. Has it ever happened. Highly unlikely. But happy to see evidence to the contrary.

@Daniel *********

What's it say there. Yes you can be arrested deported and banned.

@Andrew ********

no it says you can be penaliZed during an arrest or at immigration

@Dan***

, but that doesn't mean the fine is always 2,000 THB.

The immigration infographic makes this clear.

@R**

, in 19 years, they've only asked me for my passport once, and I voluntarily hand it over along with my driver's license at every checkpoint. But no police officer, high-ranking or otherwise, in Pattaya, Bangkok, Chaiyaphum, or Surin, has ever taken an interest in my 90 days. It should be noted that the fine isn't necessarily 5,000 baht, but 5,000 baht is the maximum amount you could be fined.

@Steve ******

Deportation can be decided for repeated violations over multiple years that create a pattern of non-compliance... Not reporting for 5 years could be considered as multiple violations. I'm not saying it's common, but if you have other issues (whether you're wrong or not) at the same time, they will love to use it.

I'd rather Pay 2,000 than waste hours of my time.

@Daniel *********

It is this disrespectful behaviour of some, that gives expats a bad name. When you don't like the rules in a country, just don't go there.

@Luit ****************

you've never broken any law ever in your life? Did you always fully stop at a stop sign? Never exceed the speed limit on the road? Stop judging others for behavior that the government only penalizes mildly for.

@Luit ****************

so if my breaking of the law is disgusting, it means your breaking of laws is also disgusting? We're all disgusting because no one follows all the laws all the time

@Luit ****************

right, when you are speeding or don't fully stop behind the line in the traffic, you accidentally did it.

Many judges will agree with your defense!

@Luit ****************

you accidentally drove your vehicle illegally. You accidentally attacked your wife but you didn't have the intention or attitude to do it. Ok...

@Luit ****************

you are the only person accusing other humans of being disgusting

@Luit ****************

you made my point for me. You cannot accidentally commit traffic or criminal offenses...

@Luit ****************

are you blind? You can't see a stop sign? No, it's because you didn't pay attention. This wasn't an accident.

@Daniel *********

There are a lot of things you have to pay attention on when you are driving, when you miss one of the things it is an accident, you cannot sya that is intentional, but you don't seem to get this simple logic.

That has nothing to do with being blind or not, accidents happen, In your opinion an accident cannot occur because when it occurs you did not pay attention, ridiculous.

But I don't spill anymore time on you strange opinions.

@Luit ****************

thank you.

In my opinion, I
