90 day report, for the first time ever - when do I need to do it?
Details:
- I was on ED visa, that lasted until 13 June 2021.
- On June 10 went to Samui immigration, closed the ED visa and got the covid extension. This is my first ever 60 day covid extension, it is valid to 8th August.
- About to go to Phangan imigration to get my second 60 day extension.
Question: when do I need to do my first 90 day report? People keep telling me conflicting information. Am I understanding it right that it should be one month from now? (90 days from when my ED visa ran out)
Heard that Phangan immigration is fining pretty much everyone for missing 90 days reports, does anybody have experience with that?
Thanks in advance for any clarification.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The first 90-day report after switching from an ED visa to a COVID extension is due 90 days from when the ED visa expired. Since the individual received the COVID extension on June 10, 2021, the report should be filed by September 8, 2021. However, it is important to note that the process can vary by location, as seen with Koh Phangan's immigration office, which confirmed that those on a COVID extension must still complete the 90-day report as usual. Experiences shared in the comments indicate that while the first report might count as done at the time of switching visas, future reports must be completed separately. It is advisable to check with local immigration offices to ensure compliance and avoid fines.
