You can get a re-entry permit at the immigration office where you live/stay or at the airport before you fly out

IF you can't get back into the country before your 90 day Non-O entry stamp would run out you can apply at most immigration offices for a 90 day non-O visa in country by meeting the requirements

If you're not going to make it back before that 90 day Non-O stamp runs out, once you get here free stamp GO to the immigration office where you live/stay, if they can issue in country Non-O visas get the hand out listing the requirements.

remember people this is ONLY for Korat, and has nothing to do with any other immigration office.

You can indeed file a new TM30 online via the web-portal with a new passport there's no issue at all doing that

You can't do a 90 day report online with the new passport until you do one in person though

one final time (as you're seeming to not be catching on) the officers at passport control at an entry/exit point to the country CANNOT see if you ever filed a 90 day report or not.

They do not have access to that system. Their job is to stamp you out/in and that's it. They can see your entry/stay/exit/extension history only

AND

There are ZERO confirmed reports of anyone ever being caught out on a previous late 90 day report when they showed up to file a subsequent one after re-entering the country and starting the 90 day count down clock again

exactly (y) a friend showed up at Chaengwattana at 9AM to file his 90 day report and there were 130+ people ahead of him in the queue

nope, they will NOT know you didn't file a 90 day report at passport control not coming in, not exiting

My advice to you is "stick with what you know" <- and here's a hint it's NOTHING to do with 90 day reporting penalties or how the 90 day reporting system works AT ALL ;)

It is indeed possible to travel during the under consideration period as long as you buy a re-entry permit (which is valid only for that time)

You need to show them your planned travel dates so that they can give you an under consideration stamp that runs until you get back

BECAUSE

If you're out of the country when the under consideration stamp runs out you lose the extension and are back to square one starting all over (getting a new Non-O visa and then yearly extension)

I personally have never ever seen someone fail to do a 90 day report leave the country, come back and get caught out by immigrations the following time they showed up to file a 90 day report

and

I have never ever heard of a confirmed case of that happening either

Honestly, I'd say dial back the paranoia just a notch or three.

I just didn't want people to think I'm saying don't do a 90 day report, because after all you're all grown upz :P and should follow the rules as they're written :)

I'm just saying there is no penalty when you exit/re-enter the country if you don't do one ;)
