What should I do about my 90-Day report if I'm currently outside of Thailand on a retirement visa?
I am on the retirement visa. I left Thailand about a month ago to spend two months in USA. I just received a reminder that my 90-Day report is due November 22. I will still be in USA. I am correct that I do not need to worry about this at all, right? Not sure why Immigration sent it to me. They should know l left the country.
Answer summary
If you are currently outside of Thailand on a retirement visa and have received a reminder for your 90-Day report while away, you do not need to worry about it. When you leave Thailand, the 90-Day reporting requirement stops and resets upon your return. Essentially, your 90 days starts anew when you re-enter Thailand, and you can safely ignore the reminder. It is also noted that the immigration system sending the reminder may not be synchronized with current departure data.

To consolidate previous answers… when you have an approved 12 month “extension of stay” non-immigrant visa, you are required to report every 90 days. If you leave during that period you need to file a re-entry permit at Immigration or at the airport (at BKK this is a desk right before you go through the gates on floor 2)
You have a choice of single or multiple re-entry. Leaving stops your current 90 day reporting requirement, and it resets to 90 days when you return.
When you return you still need to file a TDAC and go through the same immigration line as everyone else (no kiosk). You will get a new entry stamp and they will denote the end date of your original 12 month extension.
Please correct me (without being a jerk). Anyone behaving that way should be banned from this forum for that matter.

Does your visa reset the clock for your 90 day reporting when you leave the country? On some visas, the clock resets when you leave. Find out if that’s the case for your visa.

Adriane Lew he doesn't have a one-year visa. He has a one-year extension of the stay permit, for which he bought a multi re-entry permit. The 1-year extended stay permit is not a visa. The re-entry permit keeps his stay permit alive and active when he exits Thailand. The 90-days report duty becomes void when you leave Thailand. The 90-days clock restarts at day 1 when you re-enter Thailand

Greg Alexander, there is an underlying visa. Far most visas requires you to do 90-Day reporting, but a few (underlying) visas dont (like Non-OX).
Greg ***********
Henrik JN the 90-days reporting duty has nothing to do with any visas. A 90-days report is for reporting 90 consecutive days of stay inside of Thailand. Furthermore, if he started out on a 90-days Non-Imm-O Retirement Visa, the visa itself became invalid when he entered Thailand on it. He now holds a stay permit, not a visa.

@Adriane ****
has nothing to do with visas. A 90 day report is for reporting 90 consecutive days inside of Thailand. If you leave, you're no longer consecutively in Thailand. You have nothing to report if you leave

Please

No worries. You will have another 90 days when you arrive. To report

and if you do try to do the 90 day report online while you're out of the country you get rejected with this in the email

@Tod ********
the other moderator said the systems aren’t linked but based on your email they are? Or is it using the IP address to determine you left Thailand? I doubt that @Brandon ***********
Brandon ************
BreezyGiraffe4639 the immigration officer that processes the report has to manually check the systems. The one that does the reminder notification is not linked.
Marshall *********
Don't worry about it, it restarts when you return.
John *********
OPThanks All for confirming for me.
Graham ******
It's an auto reminder from your last online report which does not know you've left as it not synched with the Immigration database
Peter ***********
Yeah dont worry 90 days starts once u arrive

Like the other posters mentioned, when you go through immigration, that’s a report in its self.
The 90 day report is to know that you’re OK, you’re whereabouts in the country, etc.
So, when you present at immigration, those questions are answered.
When you return, you’re on the 90 day clock again.

TruthfulCr***********
James Allen They do not give a shit about whether you're ok. If you miss a report they are certainly not going to alert anybody.
It merely reports where you are on one particular day.
Unfortunately those questions are not answered when you go to immigration, because for all reasons you roll up, you have to answer the questions again, and again.
There might be an exception, but I cannot think of one at the moment.

James Allen "Like the other posters mentioned, when you go through immigration, that’s a report in its self." . . . . . .🤓 that's wrong, buddy. . . . Going through exit-Immigration just voids the 90-days report duty. The exit doesn't get detected by the online 90-days report system, it is NOT a report in itself
BreezyGi*********
James Allen going through immigration isn’t a 90 day report.
If this helps your simple mind then that’s OK but it’s not correct

Did you make re enter before you left Thailand
Charlie ***********
If you have a one year visa you can make a re entry that allows go out Thailand and come back with no problem
Greg ***********
@Charlie **********
watch your wording . . . . He doesn't have a one-year visa. He has a one-year extension of the stay permit, for which he bought a multi re-entry permit. The 1-year extended stay permit is not a visa. The re-entry permit keeps his stay permit alive and active when he exits Thailand. The 90-days report duty becomes void when you leave Thailand. The 90-days clock restarts at day 1 when you re-enter Thailand
Dave ******
@Charlie **********
I was half expecting a no answer or what's a re-entry?Greg ***********
Dave Owen this is called "re-entry permit", if you plan to exit Thailand during the 1-year extended stay permit, you need to buy a re-entry permit on Immigration (or at the airport) so your stay permit remains active and alive when you exit Thailand. A single re-entry permit costs 1000 THB, it allows ONE exit and re-entry. A multi re-entry permit for 3800 THB allows unlimited exits and re-entries during the 1-year extension of stay

OP@Charlie **********
I have multiple re-entry. Never needed to do anything in the past.Charlie ***********
John Pollins so you are ok
Brandon ************
Yes, you can ignore it. That system isn't linked to any system that knows you left Thailand. When you return, you start counting again from day 1.
