90 day report can you do at a police station.

[Salt]

Is it possible to do your 90 day report at a police station?

It should be submitted at your local Immigration, online, by post, or in person.

The Immigration Act states it can be submitted at a Police Station if there is no Immigration office in your Province - that was written in 1979.

All Provinces now have an Immigration Office.

It's easy enough to do online.  Don't know why anyone would go to an immi office unless they were late reporting.  Then you do have to show up in person.

If recently returned from o/s you'd have to attend Immigration.

Not necessarily 

The departure/arrival system and the 90-day reporting system are not linked.
If you were still in Thailand during the online reporting window, you could still submit online on the due date (ignoring the 90-day count on arrival). The system wouldn't know any difference.

However, if you were overseas during the online reporting window and missed that report and now counting the 90 days from entry, then yes you'd need to submit the first 90 day in person, so Immigration could reset the due date, as it would be out of sync with the online system.

Truer words were never spoken.

Personally, I'm of the opinion that nothing is linked to anything.

It is why I have a poke at data base and online systems comments. 

From recent personal experience if you live Provincial, Tabian Bahn, retirement visa etc and go home OS for a week and return to Thailand you are required to report to your local Immigration office 24 hours after arrival.  I didn't after trip to Cambodia, frowned upon, but no fine.  (Stupid Farlung maybe)

Took a Phillipina teacher to the local office with us and he informed me they are fined 3000 baht for non-compliance.

On June 5th 2020, effective June 30th 2020, Immigration issued an amendment to section 38 of the Immigration Act, which deals with the requirement to complete a TM30.

Section 2.2 of that amendment clearly states;
After a householder, owner or possessor of dwelling place or hotel manager already made a notification according to 2.1, then the alien goes to occasionally stay somewhere else and return to stay at the original place within the notified period of stay that has not yet ended, such householder, owner or possessor of dwelling place or hotel manager is not required to make a notification again.

In English and Thai;
TM30 Reporting Regulation.pdf 
TM30 reportingregulation(Thai).pdf 

In plain English, if you visit elsewhere for a period, and provided your current permission of stay hasn't expired, and you return to the same address as already notified to Immigration, then there is now no requirement to file a further TM30.

If you encounter different, the IO either;
1. Hasn't been informed of the amendment.
2. He's incompetent.
3. he's taking you for an idiot and it's a scam.
