Explanation

ครบ means “complete” or “fully reached,” and กำหนด refers to something set or scheduled, such as a deadline or term. Together, ครบกำหนด gives the idea that the set time or period has been fully reached. Common patterns include ครบกำหนดชำระเงิน “the payment is due,” ครบกำหนดส่งงาน “the assignment/work is due,” ครบกำหนดแล้ว “it is already due,” and ยังไม่ครบกำหนด “it is not due yet.”

Usage

This word is common in contexts where a date or period is clearly fixed: payments, invoices, debts, contracts, insurance, deposits, visas, document submission, assignment deadlines, return dates, and terms of office. It can be used in everyday speech, but it often has a practical or administrative feel.

Caution

ครบกำหนด means that the set deadline or date has been reached; it does not by itself mean “late” or “overdue.” For being past the deadline, use เลยกำหนด or เกินกำหนด. For submitting late, use expressions such as ส่งช้า.

Differences from similar words

1 be due synonyms

  • ถึงกำหนด also means that the scheduled time or deadline has arrived. ครบกำหนด more strongly suggests the completion of a set period, such as a payment term, contract term, or official term.

  • หมดอายุ means to expire or become no longer valid. ครบกำหนด means the due date or set time has arrived, so it does not always imply that something is invalid afterward.
