An update.

I have a situation which I can't do the 90 days notification on time this month.

So I called the Chok Chai immigration office and the missus there (Dao) have told me there is a window of 7 days can be late.

So, you better not late anyway, but I'll keep you updated with my experience after I'll do my 90 days report.

It has always been 7 days early or late.................

good news, this 90 days report is a pain in the *ss.

Yes it is................but to my knowledge it hasn't changed in the last 24 years

It's been on the statute book for the past 24 (or more) years, but has only been enforced for six or seven.  Only last year, I had the greatest difficulty in convincing a long-term resident of Thailand that he was supposed to report!

I can only speak from my personal experiences........There is an English fella who has been here almost 30 years.....I'll ask him the question when we have a get together on Friday afternoon

late with the 90 days report is not a problem, actually its not even that important but they force all of us to do it. for what? I don't know, I guess will have to put up with it and go on time.
anyway 7 days is not a problem, I always do it on the way to Korat, a 10 minutes stop that's the whole thing.

Confirm!
No problem to be late with the 90 days notification up to 7 days from the date on the invitation paper to report.

I have just returned from a trip back to the UK,while i was away my 90 day report was due however i was unable to do it as I was out of the country.
Upon my return a lady immigration officer at Swampy said that my new 90 days start on the day I returned to Thailand is this correct?
Left 3rd June
Returned 22nd June
90 Day was 10th June

Go to report 8 days late & it costs a minimum of 2,000 baht,a maximum of 5,000baht at the officers discretion together with a written note <in Thai> in your passport

2 weeks ago, I went to Chon Chom 10 days late and was not fined/charged/pp stamped  NOTHING!

But I dont recommend it as a good idea

I must admit Nookie, I took the wife incase there was trouble or communication issues AND tried to be ultra nice&friendly (yes, I know that hard to believe) but it worked.

I think another case of being polite,friendly and smiling a lot, wins the day! IMHO
With Chok Chai, I always take them gifts that they can eat, as opposed to 'tea money' and think that gives me extra 'brownie points'

I should start charging for these tips!
