@Kim ********

yes because anyone who wants to keep their actual location clandestine can either not do the 90 day report or provide a fake address. Why should I be required to report every 90 days when I have lived at the same address for 14 years.

@Erica *******

the report can be mailed to Thai immigration offices instead of in person as an option.

I think the Thai 90 day report is ridiculous but here is what ChatGPT lists as the reasons

The 90-day reporting requirement for expatriates in Thailand is part of the country's immigration control system. It serves several key purposes:

1. Monitoring Foreign Residents: The Thai government needs to track the presence and whereabouts of foreigners residing in the country for security, regulatory, and administrative purposes. Regular reporting helps ensure that expats are complying with visa rules and not overstaying or living in the country illegally.

2. Preventing Overstays: The system helps authorities prevent foreign nationals from overstaying their visas, which could lead to fines, deportation, or blacklisting. By requiring frequent checks, the government ensures that people who are in the country on long-term visas remain compliant with their visa conditions.

3. Updating Records: Immigration officers need to have up-to-date information about expats' addresses in case they need to contact them for any legal or official reasons. This could be for security reasons, emergencies, or legal matters like work permits or visa renewals.

4. Regulating Foreign Employment and Stay: The requirement helps the government maintain control over the number of foreigners living and working in the country. It also ensures that expats are abiding by the terms of their visa, such as working or staying within the scope of their permitted activities.

By mandating periodic address reporting, Thailand can keep better track of foreign nationals living in the country, ensuring compliance with immigration laws and maintaining national security.

you can apply for extension inside Thailand at Thai immigration

You need to apply for extension. It is not automatic.

I am a retired person living in Thailand, I live very comfortably and have too many pennies to count. You need to adjust your point of view. Most retirees in Thailand have good savings and investments.

if you stay in Thailand 180 days or more per calendar year, any monies you bring into Thailand are subject to taxation depending on their source. Thailand is considering taxing worldwide income, but there is nothing official yet.
