DILLIGAD Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Yesterday I did my first ever 90 day address report at a different Immigration office with a 'new' OA retirement visa. Everything was boringly ok just like all the previous years on a marriage extention, but the Immigration Officer made an interesting and confusing comment to my girlfriend. He could see from P/P stamps that I had been married previously and that I am now in rented accomodation locally. He said to her that as long as I am 52 or over (NOT 50) and in rented accomodation and married, He can arrange for me NOT to do 90 day reports. Does anyone know about this or was it just yet another Immigration fairy story? Thanks Guys. p.s. I have NOT taken this as a reason to get married! 555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyL Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) Here in Chiang Mai there are various visa assist agents who will take over doing your 90 day reports for 1000 baht/year. A real bargain if travel is a hardship or you're too busy. Maybe the I/O was going to recommend a service like that. It's perfectly legal for a third party to do your 90 day reports and doesn't require a special letter or form.

It seems to be possible Several Khon Kaen based expats, pay 1000 baht at KK immigration, and do not need to do the reports. They get an official bill.

edwardandtubs Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 You can get a courier to do it for you. Or just send your wife. No need to waste valuable time just to save a few hundred baht a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As stated in previous posts: You don't have to report in person! You only have to take care of the correct documents eg. copies of passport.

Most valuable are: - reporting between 15 days prior and 7 days after the original reporting-date - leaving the country and re-enter sets the "90-day-counter" on "zero". Of course, some if not all immigration-offices will interpreted those rules differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahjongguy Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 - leaving the country and re-enter sets the "90-day-counter" on "zero". No, it resets the counter to "one". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) Of course, some if not all immigration-offices will interpreted those rules differently. Nothing new in the cited list. And there is generally no different treatment of this topic at different locations. And the link gives no clue to what the topic starter wrote.
