Does the 90 day stay start at the application day or the end of the under-review period? (I did this a few years ago but I have forgotten.)

@Tod ********

Yeah, I know it's a silly example. Just wanted to make sure that I understood that the exit can happen anytime until the "Valid Until" date.

@Tod ********

An extreme scenario for this permit: theoretically you could leave Thailand on April 5, 2024 and come back the same day (and no later, of course), correct?

Thanks

We have the correct answer. Close the thread.

I did it last year - got back the day I had to return to immigration. (I normally wouldn't have waited until the last day but I was dealing with a sick family member while I was gone.) For unknown reasons, the immigration officer at BKK airport sent me to a higher-level officer, with mild surprise from both of them. But no issues other than the extra time it took there and having to run to make my flight to CNX. As

@Ellie ******

mentioned, talk to your local immigration office to make sure your absence will cause no snafus.

Uhm, just a few months ago I went out of the country during the under consideration period and was back by the day I had to get the stamp for the rest of the year - no problems. The re-entry permit was only good while my visa was still current - i. e. the under consideration period. This was Chiang Mai. I suggest asking your immigration office.

Or am I misunderstanding something?

@Tod ********

Also have no plans to move but, if I did, then I would certainly have a new TM.30 for my new residence.

@Tod ********

No. Is there a reason why I should have? The Fang office doesn't care. And I extended my visa for a year at the Chiang Mai office. Just received my 11 month stamp feom there at the end of December and I am sure at least one hotel did a TM.30 report last year before my visa was extended. It's been the same every time I extended my current visa (now on my 3rd extension) and I have been living at my wife's house the whole time.
