check the stamps in your passport. Don't confuse the visa validity with the period of the stay permit

@Max ************

as I said: My EOS expires on January 4th every year. I entered October 4. So my 90-days report is due on January 3. If I apply for the extension on December 23, They put a new 90-days report slip into my passport with the next 90-days report due date as March 22. That's how they have been doing it since 17 years

@Max ************

what a joke: on the contrary, Jomtien Immigration is known for undermining the official police orders. They make their own rules, their own interpretations

@Max ************

Jomtien must be very special 😁😆 My Immigration is different - they will change the 90-days report due date according to my visit in their office. Been doing it like that since 17 years. The advantage of these upcountry Immigrations are, I will always be done and dusted in 20-25 minutes after entry into the office: for the 90-days report, a new 1-year extension of stay and a single re-entry permit. When I lived on Jomtien Beach for 2.5 years, I never reported my stay, I kept my TM30 in upcountry 😉

When you entered Thailand on a single entry Non-Imm-O Visa, you were stamped in for a 90-days stay permit.

Check your entry stamp, I guess it says “admitted until July 11, 2025” with that date in blue ink

***You visited Immigration on July 2 and received a “1-year Extension of the Stay Permit” until July 12, 2026. The one-year extension normally begins to count on the day after your “admitted stay” expires

You did not receive a “retirement visa”. This stamp is not a visa. This stamp is a stay permit

***your first 90 days report was supposed to be on day number 90 after your entry. You went to Immigration on July 2, so I don’t understand why they wrote November 16 as the next report date, because it is neither 90 days away from July 2, nor 90 days away from July 11 which would be day number 90 after your entry. Your next 90-days report normally should be on November 10

*** they clearly made a mistake, probably took a “6” for a zero “0” in the stamp roller.

I wouldn’t worry too much, just report again on November 16

Q. Does my Thai wife have to report my address to Immigration?

A. Homeowners must inform Immigration within 24 hours if they have a foreigner staying at their house. This can be done using form TM30. This only needs to be done the first time. Homeowners face a fine of not exceeding 2,000 Baht while hotel managers could be fined 4,000 to 8,000 Baht. . . officially from Immigration Samut Prakan:

@Max ************

Failure to file a TM30 in Thailand can lead to various consequences, including fines ranging from 800 to 5000 Baht depending on the circumstances. If you do not report your change of residence through TM30, you might face issues when dealing with immigration, such as being fined at the immigration office, inability to obtain visa extensions, or having serious repercussions like deportation in extreme cases. It's important to ensure that either the landlord or one staying in a property reports the TM30, as it is a legal requirement. not official but:

@Max ************

I have seen people pay 2000 THB in Hua Hin for a missing TM30

@Anthony **********

yes, you can get it through this agent if you buy the complete package (and supply your own 800,000 THB money!) the package being the bank account opening, the "change of visa type" to the initial 90-days Non-O visa and the application to the 12-months Extension of the Stay Permit . plus a single or multiple re-entry permit on top (recommended!) . . However you can save 55,000 to 60,000 THB if you follow Graham's advice

Andy JH you forget that in case of emergency, you can withdraw the 800,000 THB any time as they belong to you. You can theoretically use it for hospital bills in case your insurance refuses to pay. Later, after recovery, just restart the process of aquiring the Non-Imm-O and the one-year extension
