Tried to find the thread but to no avail. Should also know the answer but getting old and senile and of course they keep moving the goal posts
Recently went to Vietnam after getting the re-entry stamp. What do I need to do now that I'm back in terms of immigration and what papers are needed. Some have said don't bother till your next 90 day report and others say you must appear there within a week.

It’s none of my business what people say and think of me. I am what I am and do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. It makes life so much easier.

And I dare say that's what people will still say! I'm in the "don't bother" camp.richard wrote: Some have said don't bother till your next 90 day report and others say you must appear there within a week.
I think the idea was to report within 24 hours of arriving, so you're probably technically late already. Relax and saunter in for your 90-day report and I'll wager not a word is said.
This is the way

I've just done my 90 days after returning from Vietnam at the end of October. That was it.

Forgot to mention that my experiences don't account for all, it depends on which officer you see, what direction the wind is blowing and the current phase of the moon as to whether the 24 hour thing is enforced or not.

First time I returned to Thailand I reported on day 88. Lady D. told I should have reported within a few days of returning.dtaai-maai wrote:And I dare say that's what people will still say!

Subsequently reported a few days after reentering Thailand. Most of the time Lady D. handled it.
Last time I returned to Thailand I reported a few days later. Lady D. looked at my passport stamps and my TM 47 and asked why I was here. Told her, she said I didn't need to come until 90 days.
Reminds me of when I was collecting unemployment insurance in the US decades ago. One had to present a form with the contact information for the last 5 employers one had approached a job. Clerk chewed out the person in front of me for listing 5 from the past few days. Asked why he wasn't looking for work on the other days. I presented a form with contacts from the first few days of the reporting period. Clerk chewed me out for doing nothing since then. I pointed out the discrepancy between how she handled me and the previous person, then asked if I'd filled out the form correctly. Glare, stamp, stamp, glare and I was done. Do government jobs attract people who want just enough power to make life a little more difficult for their patrons, or is it the only way to keep from death by boredom?
