Thank you and all admins for your service! You have helped us all and we all owe you a beer. You’ll need a strong liver! I hope I’ll bump into you guys somewhere and will actually recognize you so I can pay my dues.

ask for a screenshot (if online) or a paper copy if done manually.

Also if you are going to immigration to extend your visa they will see it.

yeah ran into the same problem, and many others too. Unbelievable. Telling them there is a per day per person fine for not doing it usually helps. (Not threatening, they will shut down even more). My place had all the excuses why they won’t do it. Eventually I told them they can do it online or come with me to immigration. Then it was magically done. Then was asked to leave and stay somewhere else. (Was polite and and non argumentative all the way, so were they. Just don’t want “high maintenance” customers like me who need paperwork up to scratch...)

Update/answer from immigration:

- We do have to do 90 day reports when on the covid extension. (At least that’s the case on koh phangan)

- when switched to the covid extension (TM7) the very first time (so two months ago in my case) that counts as a 90 day report.

- the upcoming 90 day reports will have to be done manually. (They said in person is better then online)

- and the future visa extensions don’t count as a 90 day report. You do your 60 day extensions and 90 day reports separate from each other as they come up.

Thanks for the help! Just did my extension and all is good. No 90 day report troubles.

Made the above section a bit info redundant but applicable for everyone on koh phangan. Hope it helps somebody out.

@Tod ********

thanks! The school did the paperwork every 3 months and didn’t give me any slip with the date so this will be interesting. I guess I’ll have to go and ask at kpg immigration what’s up. Fun times. I’ll report back the findings on this thread maybe others find it useful too

To slightly simplify the question: when is the first 90 day report due after switching to the covid extension from an ED visa?

- during the first covid extension (so within 60 days)

- or during the second covid extension (so 90 days after coming off the ED visa)

I vaguely remember

@Tod ********

mentioning something about this in another thread but couldn't unearth it in the archives.

I was living on KPG ever since, but had to go to Samui for the first extension. So no new tm30 (KPG immigration would only do the covid extension if you already had one before).

Yes I would definitelly do the 90 day report, the questions is, since it is not due yet (to my understanding at least) will KPG imigration give me a hard time tomorrow when I go for my second extension.

Hi

@Ja***

, thanks for the quick reply! There was no paper of such put in my passport, or said verbally.

Tricky bit is it was Samui immigration, and now I will go to KPG immigration (so they might be reading the rules slightly differently).

Also, dunno if its the same thing - the extension stamp itself says you need to do your 90 days reporting. That stamp /extension was from 60 days ago

spot on, even though some say otherwise. Leaving is easy, your next visa (of any kind!) would be the source of your headaches, unless you close up the loop as stated above.

A school failed to close a few of our Ed visas that ended perfectly legitimately a while back. We (some students) ran into all sorts of issues later on. Took a while to figure out the root cause of the problem.
