ORIGINAL POSTER

I have a flight out of Thailand on Monday. My 90 day report is actually today (first time reporting) 

I'm lead to beleive that there is a 5 days grace post 90 days mark? 

So I will be ok to just fly out as planned without having to head to immigration for the report right?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The conversation addresses concerns about the 90-day reporting requirement for expats in Thailand. The original poster is seeking clarification on whether they need to report today, given they have a flight out of the country on Monday. Responses indicate that while the reporting is technically required if you are present in the country on the 90th day, airport immigration is generally not concerned with the 90-day report for travelers leaving Thailand. There is a reporting window that allows for submissions from 14 days prior to the 90-day deadline and up to 7 days after, but since the poster is departing, they are advised not to worry about the report.

The grace period you speak of is a reporting window, not a grace period. You have 21 days to report in person, from 14 days before till 7 days after.

Don't worry about it. You should really file, but it won't be picked up if you're leaving the country

Will never be picked up. I've done it myself over the years if I've been leaving shortly after the 90 day report is due. Once you've left and come back they really don't care about old TM30s and 90 day reports

Sorry James. It's nothing to do with luck. Once you've left, immigration don't care. In the golden era of the OA visa (before the insurance headache) no-one ever went to immigration, no one did TM30s and 90 day reports and no-one ever got fined. Once again, the fear-mongers are out in force.

There's no actual grace period. There's a window of 14 days before to 7 days after, but if you're in the country on the 90th day you are required to report. However, if you're leaving the country, don't worry about it. Airport immigration don't give a stuff

surely an extension would be cheaper/less hassle than a border run?

@Gee ****

an extension is cheap and easy for the people that have all the correct documents but many people got their DTV using 6 month courses and they haven't paid for another 6 months so they can't get an extension. Also many people no longer have the equivalent 500k baht in their bank, these people also can't do an extension. There only option is a border run

so if I have the 500k in the bank continuously and I'm here on a workation, it should be quite straightforward for me to just extend rather than leave/reenter?

yeah mate, it will be easy for you. It's just the same documents you used in your application but with current dates

horrible advice. He can subsequently get fined later if he is doing an extension.

No chance. I've done it several times. No-one will ever pick it up. And what DTV holder is silly enough to go for an extension when they can bounce?

Exactly! So worrying about a 90-day report on the day the OP is leaving is beyond ridiculous. I'm sure if I had a flight out at say 2.00pm I'm going to be racing to the immigration office when it opens to stand in a queue and wait for my number to be called just to file a meaningless report and then race to the airport to get there in time to check-in! Come on guys, stop with the nonsense please!

Immigration at the airport doesn't care about 90 day reports. You'll be totally fine.

The 90 day report is only checked at the immigration offices, and is technically not mandatory if you're only staying 180 days at a time and don't have to go to immigration for extensions.

It is mandatory if you stay more than 90 days but chances to get issues at the border are very low. If you need documents from immigration other than extension, you'll get fined if not done.

Anonymous participant 912 yes, that's what I meant. You don't need it unless you have to go to immigration for anything.

Is there still a 7-day grace period for 90-day reporting after the deadline in Thailand?
