Hello all, my 90 day notice was due on 24 Aug 2020 and I just remembered it today and I have missed it by 2 months. Can someone explain me how bad this is?

Answer summary

If you miss your 90-day report in Thailand, it's generally not a severe issue, as confirmed by community members. You can go to the immigration office in person to file the overdue report. Be prepared to pay a fine of 2,000 baht, which results from being overdue. A remark will be stamped in your passport, but this mistake is easily correctable. One user reported no fine at all after addressing the issue, indicating some variation in enforcement. It's advised to set reminders for future reports to avoid similar situations.

Not too surprised they didn't fine you. Things were particularly confused regarding exactly how the amnesty for doing 90-Day Reports would end. It turned out that some offices required people who took advantage of the 90-Day Report part of the amnesty to file a 90-Day Report in August to get back with the program. Seems to me that your Immigration Officer took a very sensible approach to the matter in not fining you for what was a bit of a confusing situation. Now things are back to normal for you in terms of your 90-Day Reports.

The advice I gave to people staying a long time (advice I followed myself) was to simply ignore the 90-Day Report amnesty entirely. That is, continue to file when due because then you always know when you need to file the next one. The trouble with the amnesty is that people were told they didn't have to file 90-Day Reports without being told at the time how they would be expected to get back into compliance. I correctly guessed at the time that whatever pleasure was to be had in not doing a 90-Day Report would disappear in trying to figure out and complying with whatever scheme would eventually be announced to get people back to filing 90-Day Reports. I think I was right.

Yes I think your explanation makes sense. I was kind of expecting this as well due to the whole amnesty thing during COVID.

It's not that bad. Go to immigration and file a 90-Day Report in person (online likely won't work since you are overdue, but you could try that anyway). When you do that it will very likely be discovered that you were overdue on filing your previous 90-Day Report and you will be fined 2,000 baht. A remark will be stamped in your passport indicating the report was overdue. You will be given a new notification date to make your next 90-Day Report. There are no further consequences. It is in no way comparable to overstaying. It's a mistake that is easily corrected by paying the fine.

Suggestion for the future: put your next 90-Day Report notification date - 14 days in your electronic calendar. This will give you the first date you can file your online 90-Day Report. When your calendar alarm goes off, file the report online.
