What should I do about my 90-day visa report if I travel before the due date in Thailand?

Topic: Transfer from old to new passport + 90 days

Good evening ladies and gents,

* I recently (Friday 8 March) transferred my visa extension from my old passport to my new passport at Chaengwattana Immigration.

* I got told to head to my local immigration in April with the TM47 document to renew my 90 days.

*My days 90 expires on 16 April.

My eventual problem:

* I am flying out on Sun 7 April and returning to Thailand on Fri 19 April.

My questions:

* Do I need to head to my local immigration before flying?

* What is the correct procedure to do this?

* How to avoid penalties?

I know it is maximum 14 days prior or 7 days after due date but feel like this process might be slightly different from what I am used to. I feel like I might have to go twice. Once before flying, and once after flying. Or is this not necessary? I don't wanna end up paying a 2k fine.

Thank you in advance for your wise and helpful comments!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user recently transferred their visa extension to a new passport and is concerned about their upcoming travel plans. They need to report their 90-day stay before a scheduled flight out of Thailand and want to avoid penalties. Comments clarify that since the user is departing before the 90-day report due date, there is no need to visit immigration before leaving, and they can complete the report upon returning to Thailand.

The report is only if you stay 90 consecutive days in Thailand.

As you depart Thailand April 7th...BEFORE the actual DUE DATE of your 90 day report of April 16th

You DON'T have to do anything .

Safe travels ...

and when you arrive back into Thailand .. April 19.

The 90 DAY COUNT STARTS AGAIN.

File a TM30 address registration with your Thai immigration office after you return to Thailand.
