Hi everyone. I am on a visa extension non b and forgot to do the 90 days reporting due last month. (I’ve tried and failed to do it online and the. Forgot about it...) I’m leaving thailand for a holidays in 15 days. Would you go to the local immigration office and pay for your fine (2000thb apparently) or try to pass the border and hope no one notices? Then hope it starts fresh with a new 90 days when coming back...

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user missed their 90-day reporting for a Non-B visa and seeks advice on whether to pay the fine of 2000 THB at the immigration office or risk passing the border without reporting. Comments suggest that while one might avoid immediate consequences at the border, the fine will still be incurred when reporting upon return to Thailand. Paying the fine is advised to officially clear the missed report before leaving.

To be completely honest, it's not going to make any difference if you go to the immigration office now and file a 90 day report and get fined the 2000baht failure to file on time or not.

When you come back from your trip your next 90 day report will be due 89 days from the date you stamped back into the country. When you go to do that 90 day report they'll see you missed the earlier one and you'll be fined the 2000baht then.

The reason I say it doesn't matter is that the fine doesn't increase.

good to know :) I guess one trip to immigration office is better than two though...

usually if you missed one 90 day report (and need to show up in person to pay the fine) the 90 day online reporting won't work ;)

Thank a lot for that. I suppose I’ll just leave the country and see if I can do the next 90 days report online or pay the fine if I’m asked... it will save me a trip to immigration now and several hours of frustration ...

Did you go to Burma in February? If so your 90 days starts upon reentering Thailand.

, If he used his seaman book he does not have exit and entry stamp in his passport, so the 90 day clock continued.

if they didn't stamp out of thailand on their passport they didn't 'leave' (even if they did) :O

I'm no expert on Thai Immigration. Just saw that you had been outside of Thailand in February.

Yes but not on my passport (on a seaman book as I work on a boat).

Starting fresh not an option. Paying the fine is the only way to clear the missed 90 day report

Nobody care when you pass the border. But you get a fine when you do your next 90 day report, better is to do it before you leave.
