Hey guys. So I just realized I missed my 90 day report. It was due Nov 1. I have a vague recollection of someone telling me that I can just show up on the next occasion, 90 days from Nov 1, and get away with a fine. I just want to check if this is the case, and what other options I might have? Thanks in advanced

Answer summary

The user missed their 90-day immigration report that was due on November 1. They inquired about the consequences and options available. Responses indicated a fixed fine of 2000 baht for failing to report on time, which remains the same regardless of when it is paid. Some users mentioned that they only report once a year during their visa extension and pay the fine then. Others pointed out that it's possible to manage without frequent reporting, but caution was given against potential complications if caught for other issues.

Elaborate as always, thank you very much Tod. I will pop in after 60 days from now and pay my dues.

The fine is 2000baht for failure to report on time, but as was said, it doesn't get any bigger than that (although it can indeed) so whether you go now or in another 90 days or just before you need your next extension it won't matter the fine will be the same.

The reason I say the fine can get higher is if you are caught out on something else and they see you've not done a 90 day report. That's when the fine can go up.

I know people who do ONE 90 day report a year (in Bangkok) and that's just before they get their new yearly extension of stay. The immigration officers here in Bangkok look at the last entry to thailand and for your 90 day reporting slip when you do an extension of stay. Those people file one 90 day report and pay the 2000baht fine for failure to have filed a report on time. They get the receipt and the failure to file stamp in their passport then they go get an extension of stay. I know people who've done it that way for 7-8 years now.

Or just wait until the next time you have to go to Immigration- the fine doesn't escalate.

Yeah that's the plan, wasn't sure if I could just show up next time, act surprised about the missed report and just pay the fine

Joseph Graham And plenty of people get away with never reporting and never paying a fine!

90 day report on which visa?

Stephen. That's correct but with the non imm O and B multi entry visa you need to leave the country every/within 90 days or apply for an extention of stay.
