90 day reporting on non o visa

[dtaai-maai]

I need to do my first 90 day report next week.
Just wondering what I need to take and do to avoid any hassles?
Thanks.

I don't remember taking anything on any of my first visits (admittedly a long time ago). Just the form and the passport.

Whats the situation on 24 hour reporting on return from overseas, I will be back soon but not to HH. If I do not report are there any repercussions when I do my annual renewal?

I haven't crossed the border for some years now, but I don't know a single person who has done this and I've never heard of anyone who has had a problem for not doing so.
90-day reporting is senseless enough, but reporting within 24 hours of arrival would be ridiculous.

I believe the only other thing they look for is the departure card that is normally stapled into your passport that should have been stamped with date of arrival.

I went to immigragion a month or so ago to ge a re-entry visa for my first trip out of the country in 9 years and I asked them when I need to report when I come back and they said 90 days after my re-entry stamp.

I returned to Bangkok a few weeks ago and as my 90 days reporting date was some 2 weeks away I asked the immigration officer at the airport if he could stamp my 90 day form which he said he could not. I then reported to HH Immigration Dept 2 weeks later.

So I am not sure what can be done - HH Immigration did not say anything that I was reporting early.

^ When you enter the country the 90 day clock starts all over again. No need at all to report based upon any previous 90 day receipt in your passport obtained before you left the country.

I was similar after coming back from Vietnam (minus the immigration officer at the airport bit). I don't find 90 day reporting any hassle (never takes more than 5 minutes) so I just went on the date they previously told me. Next report, 90 days from the last report.

Went for mine last week and done and dusted in 10 minutes including a re-entry stamp BUT counter no.4 was empty. Some high ranking officials (BK?) about too so only 2 immigration officers working and working according to the book I guess. [Mod Edit] Unnecessary remark removed.

This was at 14.30 on a Wednesday

I just do not understand the confusion about this 90 day report requirement. It is one of only a few Immigration rules that is clear! If you have been in the flipping country 90 days since your last entry, regardless of visa, rentry, where you entered, the size of your ego, or WHATEVER, you are required to notify Immigration. If you have only been in the country 89 days, you are not required, and if you leave before 90 days, then you are NOT in the country!
They even make it easy for you by allowing 15 days prior, and up to 7 days after the due date. Best of all, there is no fee involved!

Not confused, just went on the date they'd stamped in my passport. If I had to remember a date for myself, there's more probability I'd get it wrong. 5 minutes now, or 5 minutes in a months time - makes little difference to me.

Sorry Big Boy, I don`t follow what you have posted, and in any case it was not directed at you. The reporting date is not stamped in your passport, it is on a seperate receipt stapled inside. Yes, if it is your first time, then it will not be there!

The point is, what are supposedly intelligent people, that can get themselves halfway around the world, obtain a visa that requires a 90 day report, then do not understand what 90 days in the country means!

In the posts above are two condradictory interpretations. Nerus says-- its every 90 days even if you have been in and out during the last 90 days. Prcssct says if you leave and come back the clock starts ticking again from date of reentry.

I am certain that Pete (Prcssct) is correct as I experienced leaving and returning to Los before my 90 days was up and when I went to Imm on the 90 days date that had been indicated on the form, I was told that I didn't need to report until 90 days from my recent re-entry date. It wasn't a big deal and in fact they gave me a new slip that showed the new date just to make sure I didn't forget.

Nereus says no such thing.

If you have been in the flipping country 90 days since your last entry,

Clearly stated in perfectly comprehensible English.

Thank you! I will now even let you off for not knowing which month it was!
