British embassy? The greatest waste of office space in the city.

Will Immigration start asking for proof of tax payment forms for Non Immigrant O or B visa extensions next year?

Yes, last year, July, I applied 45 days before expiry date at CW, no problem.

US citizen in Bangkok. He is resigning himself to going to a RTE abroad on Tuesday.

Again many thanks to all who replied. I think the B800k wasn't in long enough, hence the method route. I will pass these messages on to him. Any recommendations on an embassy nearby to get a new Non Imm O visa?

If he does have to go to a RTE for a new Non Immigrant O retirement visa, which one would you suggest for least hassle and mimimal paperwork? He has over B800k in a Thai bank and can show this to the RTE in his bank book. Even get a bank letter confirming this before departure. Is insurance or a police report needed? Savannakhet, Phnom Penh, KL or Penang?

OK Many thanks to you both. I will pass these messages on to him!

Asking for a friend. He needs to get his paperwork in order for a Non O Retirement extension based on monthly income. He forgot all about it and his extension expires on Tuesday next week!! If he doesn't get the paperwork in order by Tuesday, can he ask for a 30 day extension (B1,900) to get his affairs in order? Thanks

Thanks, Norbra. 5 days is a good improvement, and that was over the weekend!!

I read about the new 15 day wait a few weeks ago. Still a 15 day wait, anyone?

I haven't read much recently about the waiting time for an online 90 day report reply from CW. Whether it's approved or rejected, anyone with an update on waiting time for a reply.

Just a quick question. My wife has registered on the new TM 30 app and successfully uploaded all documents that are required, including a scan of my passport. Her registration is accepted Although I haven't left the country since July, can she just register me on the new app today? =========================== Date of inform from: today? Date of inform to: ???? Date of stay from: today? Date of stay to: Dec 2039? (Dec 2039 is the longest period you can register for) =============≈========== Is it ok to do the above (ie register today)? Would it have any impact on the 90 day reporting ( next report, Dec 28) Many thanks

I fiddled around with it a few times to see what happens and I got a couple of OTPs and was able to enter the system but didn't make any booking. The OTP took about a minute to come into my email inbox.

Went out to CW this morning for a 90 day report after 12 days pending IO told me the online system is "not working at the moment". Suggest you make an appoinment and do it in person to save grief and a possible fine. Would they fine you if pending for 90 days and then did your next report in person? Pain in the a*se, I know

It seems the Immigration Department is in the process of revamping the entire website/online process? Let's hope all goes smoothly soon. I believe the online 90 days report is still 'pending' for some people after 15 days!!
