When does the 90-day reporting period start after leaving Thailand?
RE: 90 days report
I always thought that if you leave Thailand and return, then 90 days starts from the date of return.
So in my case, my last 90 day report was March 9th 2017 - and my next date was supposed to be June 6th 2017. However, I left Thailand in April and came back on May 9th 2017. So all along I presumed that another 90 days started on May 9th and that I'm due for the 90 day notification sometime this month (August).
However, someone just told me that that's not the case anymore and that I should've gone in June. Is this correct???

Answer summary
The 90-day reporting period for expats in Thailand resets upon re-entry into the country. If you leave Thailand and return, your next reporting date is calculated starting from the date of your re-entry. This means if you re-enter Thailand on May 9th, your next report would be due 90 days later, despite any prior 90-day report dates.

90 days starts the day you re enter the country.

That is correct. It starts from the time you come back to enter Thailand. Your 90-day Visa cancelled when you left. You have to start all over again

Ok thanks u kind peole but extremely surprised

I've always gone 90 days from when I arrived back in Thailand. The only thing I had to bring extra was a TM30. It's basically notifying your address again. I didn't bring it originally and the immigration officer said he couldn't accept my 90 day report without it.

I just happened to always keep my contract , passport , and all other official stuff in my ' Man bag ' .. 😉👍🏻Noel *************
I wish I had known it before that day. I went early to get it done quickly and then had to go back home and by the time I got back there was a queue and ended up waiting 3 hours. Nonthaburi Immigration :/ Small and crowded. I've been in and out 3 times since and I've always remembered to bring it. Lesson learned I guess.
Martin *********
Correct , this happened to me last year .. luckily , I had the info with me , and sorted it at the same time .
Daniel ************
your entry day is day 1 - you can go 15 days before and 7 days after ... :-) without the 2000 thb penalty.
John ******
So what is a re entry permit for then?
Noel *************
I guess they see you as arriving at the airport as they know you are here or whatever so it restarts another 90 days to let them know you are still here :/
John ******
Tod's the main man Christine but if u have any doubts check with your Immigration Office and sometimes on certain things they can differ, but yes this did surprise me being able to move the 90 day reporting on for another 89 or 90 days and as Tod states and he knows, but if in doubt just check no harm and some u send a message as well as telephoning them also
John ******
Yes as I thought thank you, Todd same original date of 90 days. Yes easy for all u guys with experience and frankly amazed one can move the 89 or 90 days forward from the existing next 90 day report that is all. Will check it out nearer the time THANKS all
Tod *********
@John *****
, the extension of stay you have based on being over 50 (retirement) has nothing to do with your 90 day reporting at all. You're obligated to do a 90 day report when you've spent 90 days in the country. Your extension also doesn't have anything to do with you exiting/re-entering the country either. If you want to do that you buy a re-entry permit. It doesn't ADD any days to your current extension all it does it let you get stamped in until the expiration of the original extension date.
John ******
@Steve ******
Thanks mateJohn ******
Thanks and just a bit surprised one can move dates and thanks all. Really surprised and that saves a lot of hassle working out dates then
Martin *********
@John *****
yes if you leave the country for any reason .. nothing to do with your visa extension . Then on your return , your 90 days start again
Steve *******
@John *****
. You need a re-entry permit to keep your extention of stay alive. If you leave the country without one your extention of stay will be cancelled.John ******
What I am claifying so onee can move tjhe date forward 89 or 90 days when u come back in the Country then?
John ******
I just have an extension under reirement, but still need an reentry peermit?
John ******
@Martin ********
That's what I meant and u get this reentry permit, but the 90 days count from when one returns. Stange reallyMartin *********
In my case I have a multi , but you need to obtain a re entry if your going OUT the country ...
John ******
It was funny but thinking of taking my Family out in 2 years time, but things change so fast. Yes very very surprise and was trying to work out dates in between my 90 days . Thanks all.

This is a useful tool. Enter your most recent entry date and add 89 days to find your next 90 day reporting due date:

John ******
That is news on me and one has to go every 90 days but Tod knows, but they do seem to have their own rules. I have never travelled out of Thailand and in any case don't u need a re entry permit.
John ******
Yes I know u are the man thanks and surprised. Very interesting though!!!
Tod *********
@Jo**
, you use the receipt from the previous 90 day report when you go file the new one (even though the date it says to report on it is wrong).I know people who live her but travel so much they have NEVER done a 90 day report in years and years :O
John ******
There is no receipt just the new 90 day report?
John ******
Cheers and not been out of Thailand in 9 years and unaware of this?
Tod *********
as other posters have said, when you exit/re-enter the country your 90 day reporting count down clock starts again, and your next 90 day report is due 89 days from the day you return to thailand.
Christine ******
OPGreat! Thanks everyone!
Joe ***********
I do know of cases where people have been lectured because they didn't report on the scheduled report date - even though we all know the real rule. It happens - the I/Os sometimes have their own rules.
Christine ******
OP@T**
alright, will do.Tod *********
@Chri*****
, you won't but do take the old receipt of you having done your previous 90 day report with you too.Christine ******
OPYeah you just never know sometimes. I've been here for a few years now & always knew 90 days start again on date of re-entry. Hope I don't have any issue when I go there!
Martin *********
You are correct .. actually to prove that I went for my 90 days a week ago , and the guy next to me who had been away like you was told , you never needed to come in because your 90 day starts again from your arrival , point proved 😉
Robert *******
The person that told you is wrong. You need to do the next one 90 days from your last entry on May 9th, and remember to count that day (May 9th) as day number 1.
Joe ***********
90 days from the date of reentry
Troy *********
umm it's on the stamp in your passport

I think it's been answered 10 fold

Bennie, many times these break out into cat fights and off topic
Bennie *******
@Troy ********
Not the point. She only wants to know true or notTroy *********
not hard to count 90 days is it? lol
Nick *******
Yes and you have to work out yourself when the 90 day report is . They only stamp the date the visa expires
Troy *********
the date of entry back into Thailand is there
Nick *******
They don't stamp your passport with date valid until if you're on a 1 year visa, you have to work it out yourself
Mike *******
Yes your right.90 days start.from entry date.in to los.
