What should I do if I received a 90-day report notification before the due date after my re-entry into Thailand on a retirement visa?

I have a very urgent problem. I am on retirement visa, and my wife following.  For the first time we had visa, we left the country around the 5 th March.  We came back the 7 th April, had re entry permit, went to immigration to confirm our adres, (not same I think as 90 days report).

Now We both do our report on line.  But today I got notification that I have to report again before the INITIAL date of 15 th May. I been told that when you leave the country, they start to count when you come back.

Now for me this is no problem, if I already have to report now, but my wife was due to report when we were in Europe, and she got a message too. So now she is late a month, when we thought she be good again 3 month after re entry.

We not know what to do now.

Just like Stuart says. When you reenter Thailand with a reentry stamp Day 1 starts all over again. BUT you have to report to immigration office within 24 hours of your arrival. Then you will get paper in your passport with the new 90 day report date.

If you entered on April 7th you don't need to do a 90 day report until beginning of July

Relax. I was 86 days late once. 2000B fine and a little stamp in my passport. Was reset and had no effect on my next yearly extension.

As Stuart said, also, I know people who have been fined up to 5k baht for missing a 90 days report, so it's not the end of the world.

As soon as you leave Thailand the requirement to report stops. It restarts at Day 1 when you return. No matter what the ticket in your passport from before says.
