90 Day Reporting - Online

**Tommyk** · 26th August 2008 12:51

I have read here someplace, that it is possible to report online that you are still in the country if you have a non-o or non-b visa for a year. Please, how do you do it online?

Thanks AO. I appreciate it - the quick response.

Are we talking about overstaying? Is there any way in which you can extend a 90 day 'O' or 'B' visa without physically leaving the country? The lady at the Consulate in Hull said there is no way, you must get an exit stamp as you leave before they renew your visa for a further 90 days. Maybe you residents know a few tricks.

This topic is not about overstay, but 90 day reporting. To answer your question, you can extend a 90 day non-immigrant visa to one year and further extensions for one year after that at any immigration office in Thailand. Just requires a lot more paperwork than the application for the initial 90 day non-immigrant.

If you are talking about a non-immigrant multiple, it is necesary to leave the country every 90 days.

I believe you have to have a valid work permit and perhaps a teacher license (I know a guy who has work permit but no TL and has to do this. I never did, I had a WP and a TL) in order for the above to be true.

There is one exception to the 90-day rule that was not included in AO's informative post.

If you DO leave and re-enter the country, for vacation or travel, your new 90-day period begins upon your arrival in the country.

Nah without a WP or money and marriage or age and money...not really doable. Although if you PM me I might be able to 'help' a bit.

Also bear in mind RENEWING your work permit and extending your visa at Immigration DOES NOT count as registering your address....this fucks a lot of people up!!!

If it's a Non-imm B (generally) but if it's a Non-imm O (or O/A), ED etc. obviously there are different 'ways' and paperwork to extend it accordingly other than a WP/TL (which you can't do on a ED anyway, but can sometimes on an O).

It cost me 2K to learn that lesson KK! Its from the date on your entry card thing, not your last visa or extension.

^ Indeed!!! One of the reasons I posted it as I've known it happen to a fair few peeps!!!

**Tommyk** · 27th August 2008 13:47

Just came back from Immigration. The queue is endless, for a 90 day compulsory reporting!!! Will go back tomorrow. They have no idea to speed things up over there.

**kenkannif** · 27th August 2008 13:48

Which immigration office are you going to? If you are in Bangkok anywhere close to Central Lad Prhao, you can go to Raza Tower 2. You will probably be in and out in 15-20 minutes. It might be a bit longer, but a couple of times I have been in and out in five minutes.
