That depends: But he must have a Multiple-Entry Re-Entry Permit, so that his permission to stay will not be voided by exiting and re-entering Thailand. Having to buy a Single-Entry (1000 THB) or Multiple-Entry (3800 THB) to avoid this, is definitely not worth it. If he has an ME Re-Entry Permit, and he lives close to the border he might consider that (but has to take into account the Visa or border-pass fee). When the ONLY reason for exiting/re-entering would be avoiding the 2.000 THB fee, it would be better just pay the 2000 THB fine.

natway09 5,083 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Come on guys, the fine is Bht 2,000. Why all the drama Queens ? Can anybody confirm a 90 day fine of over that or "if caught" jail ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
soalbundy 20,076 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I always just write the due date down on a big callender hanging on the kitchen wall, no need for electronics, only a red pen is needed why complicate matters. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Someone already having a multiple re-entry permit, and maybe living near a border it would be. Or someone who had a trip planned already. Not a recommendation from me, more an 'option'.....

EricS 9 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) You’ll be ok but you’re going to get hit with a little fine it shouldn’t be more than a few thousand baht. In fact the maximum fine for late reporting is 5,000 baht tops but that’s like after months go by. You’re probably looking at maybe a 2,000 baht fine.

DJ54 893 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) OP - if it were me I’d go to the Immigration Monday. Take your wife with you. Go to 90 day check in line hand them your passport. If they tell you pay X amount pay it and go on with your life.... added... wait until they ask you for reason. Tell your reason ....

Popular Post Taxi 50 Posted February 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2020 I was about the same amount of time over on my 90 days check, I thought when I got a new passport and visa's transferred it would also reset the 90 days, it doesn't. Jomtien I/O explained the rules to me and why I was over. I asked how much is the fine, he said I've fixed for you already, no fine. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
ujayujay 764 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Go to Immigration, pay the 2000 Baht and everything will be OK! Link to post Share on other sites

But thanks for the suggestion. Agents don't negotiate when doing the 90 days reports for customers. They have more of an agreement with the officer working at the 90 days report desk. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Ventenio 2,173 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I am reminded of this every day in Thailand, almost never back home. 2,000 baht can destroy a person here, change their life, ruin their eating habits for a month, send them into disrepair and act as though they will die any moment. While others spend 2000 on some beers and ..... every night 2 Link to post Share on other sites
