After you've done your FIRST 90 day Report at your Immigration office, you are then allowed to do it Online for the following reports. I believe each time you leave Thailand and return, it's back to the Immigration office once again for the FIRST 90 day Report. Someone, please correct me if I'm wrong 😀
