90 day report is nothing it's a 5 minute stop. It's only people who have been on short term visa or visa exempt that are freaking out cause they don't know or never done it. The only interaction with immagration is at border bounce
Apply for DTV visa in your country before you move to Thailand. This visa is much easier to maintain and it's 5 year multi entry. Retirement visa is so complicated and you must keep funds in your account in Thailand.
I don't know why everyone is so concerned. It's a simple task and it's recorded on the immigration system. It's no big deal for the average traveller but the Thai government is saying to track undesirables so let's just comply and see what happens. I don't care either way
