When is my first 90-day report due after switching to an Elite Visa in Thailand?

A question...if the 90 day reports are ignored and just go in for the yearly report and pay the fine of not reporting quarterly is that frowned apon?

Sadly

@Armin ****

that you don't WANT to wait until you file your first 90 day report to buy the car doesn't mean anything at all in the grand scheme of things.

You can't get a certificate of residence issued in bangkok from the immigration office at Chaengwattana until you have filed at least ONE 90 day report (and that paper you have only tells you when your first REAL 90 day report is due, it is NOT a receipt of having filed one)

As I said April 25th is the soonest you can file AND apply for the COR, so that's the day I'd slog out to Chaengwattana 🙂

@Armin ****

there is NO receipt, you didn't DO a 90 day report from that paper yet, that's given when you START a new 90 day reporting cycle (change extension reasons, visas, etc) 😮

If you haven't left the country since they put that paper IN your passport on Feb 9th 2023 then your FIRST 90 day report is due on the 9th of May. 🙂

AFTER you file that 90 day report (which people pointed out you can do from 2 weeks before down until 1 week after in person OR from 2 weeks before down until the due date online) and get that receipt of having done a 90 day report

THEN

you can apply for a certificate of residence.

AND

Seeing as you have an elite visa I would say GO To Chaengwattana Section B <- and apply for the 90 day report (that's where elite visa holders do 90 day reports in person) and then as soon as you get that 90 day report receipt apply for a certificate of residence for 200 baht (which is coincidentally also at Section B) 😛 and they'll give you an EMS receipt and mail the COR to you in about 5 days.

That's how the process is gonna work out for you. The soonest you can go file that first 90 day report will be April 25th (2 weeks to the day before the report is due)

@Armin ****

yes first report is 9th May

It's pretty plain, your 90 day report is due on the 9th May. As it is your first report it will have to be done in person and you can lodge your application for residence certificate at the same time. It usually takes about a week.

If you entered on 1 Jan and you got this piece of paper on 9 Feb, there is no 90 day report as you are only 40 days inside of Thailand.

As your NEW visa let you stay over 90 days, you have to start doing 90 days reports from the moment the visa is issued and that is why you have to make the report on 9 May which is 90 days after 9 Feb.

You have to wait to register the car in your name as your first 90 day is the one that has to be done 9 May.

Yes, at CW your first extension/change in your case counts as a 90 day report too. So you did one on 9 Feb and your next one is 9 May.
