giddyup Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 When I renewed my extension of stay (retirement) they gave me a paper instructing me to report after 90 days with proof that the 800K in the bank hadn't been touched. There was a date stamped on the paper exactly 90 days after getting my extension. I asked the officer if I had to report on that exact date, and he said no, anytime after that date, can't be before. I'm now a couple of weeks after that date and intend going in today, and am wondering if anyone has had any problems with this report? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltire Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I got a similar card last week on my renewal. I have to attend in person on the January date stamped on the card. I am wondering if I will then get another one to go back and check it's not dropped below 400k? Defeats the purpose of the online 90 day reporting. C'est la vie.

Not sure if It's actually necessary to report in person, even though I will, it's only to hand in copies of your passport and bankbook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked and they insisted I need to go in person, and yes its just to see the passbook which again you have to update on the same day day. It's the 320K round trip that gets me. I am not in Pattaya so here we go again with different offices requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip service with no follow up. Test this theory and see if they contact you. Obviously, stay within the limits specified should they ask again at a later date. ????

Perhaps the report is entered onto a computer that states you complied, who knows? Surely the bank balance question would be answered the next time you renewed the extension?

I believe it's all show. As to your second point, yes, that would be the logical choice. If you obeyed their 'rules' and kept the money within range, I belive you wouldn't have any issues next time. However, go in, watch them and see do they enter your visit anywhere. Good luck. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly ...... really couldn't care less. There's no advantage as the grandfathering rule doesn't apply anymore. Might have to do a border hop, start the procedure again, but it's more work for them and a minor inconvenience for me. ???? This is my totally honest answer. I have grown tired of their sheee ite. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rimmer Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I went about a week after the due date, no ticket number just gave the paper and book to the lady who sits on the left of the retirement station desk, no computer at that point, she checked everything stapled it together, gave me a paper and the book back and placed it over the counter on a pile of similar papers.
