What is the process for 90-day reporting when frequently entering and leaving Thailand?
Information for those confused about 90 day reporting when you duck in/out of Thailand regularly. Immigration official in Hatyai confirmed to me that the 90 day clock restarts every time to come back into the country.
So, if you travel in/out regularly then you don't need to report at all.
So, if you travel in/out regularly then you don't need to report at all.
Answer summary
The 90-day reporting requirement for expats in Thailand restarts with each re-entry into the country. If you frequently travel in and out, you do not need to report unless you stay beyond 90 cumulative days. Comments from users clarify that the TM30, which must be reported by the owner of the accommodation or the expat, applies regardless of the type of visa. While some users noted confusion over reporting regulations, the consensus remains that those on long-term visas, such as retirement or marriage visas, need to adhere to these reporting requirements.

OPWasn't easy to get information on the www about how 90 day reporting works. My visa agent was not very helpful either. Now it all makes sense. If you stay 90 'consecutive' days then you have to report in.

And you have to report physically as it is considered your first 90 reporting in Thailand. Otherwise you can report on the web

Is anyone worried about a stamp-crowded passport? I know when it comes visa time, we need multiple blank pages.
Jesper *******
@Joey *******
my yearly extensions of the nonO and re entry permit is always on the same page so I use only one page per extension
Khid *****
I confused abt tm30 not 90days rpt
Jesper *******
@Khid ****
tm30 is a report made to immigration by the owner of the place you are staying in thailand it maybe your hotel, condo, apartments..etc..
Suzene *****
I am very confused. Is it not just back to 30 days now? What is the passport really?
Graham ******
@Suzene ****
Visa Exempt entry is still a 60 days entry on arrival
Mel ******
@Suzene ****
90-day reporting is for those of us on long-term visa. For example, my visa and extensions is the age 50+ nonO retirement visa. My extensions allow me to stay in the country for an entire year if I choose to do so. The 90-day reporting has nothing to do with those people that are just tourists.

@Suzene ****
What are you confused about?Jesper *******
Yes the very reason it's called 90days report is if you are staying in thailand for more den 90days once u travel back into thailand it starts at day01
Cruise ******
@Jesper ******
so if you are here on the given 60days , you do not need to report?Jesper *******
@Cruise *****
correct u dontJesper *******
@Cruise *****
90days report are for those who stays in thailand for more den 90days usually holding DTV marriage or retirement visas...Cruise ******
@Jesper ******

@Barry *********

Istvan *********
@Barry *********
Yes, doesn't matter whether you stay with friends, a girlfriend, etc You or they have to do a maximum of 24 hours after arrival because the person you stay with can get fined 6000 baht..Cruise ******
Graham ******
@Cruise *****
Technically no as he will not use Immigration servicesCruise ******
@Istvan ********
just submit online or have to physically go to immigration office to do this?Graham ******
@Istvan ********
I've never heard of anyone getting a 6k fine, it's normally 800B or sometimes 1600BIstvan *********
@Graham *****
Just because you never heard doesn't mean it doesn't exist 😉 But possibly in this case the immigration made a mistake because for a private owner the fine is up to 2000 baht and up to *****
for hotels!
Tim *********
It’s pretty simple. You stay 90+ days you have to advise the government where you are. Regardless of any visa.
