All the comments about reciprocal arrangements don't stack up. Several countries including Australia and New Zealand do not allow UK citizens (or indeed any others) to enter their countries but they are on the UK green list

I encountered the same problem when connected (automatically) to the Mall/ Store wi-fi. When I switched wifi off and went to my 4G everything worked perfectly

This is not true. There are numerous persons who are carriers, who are sick or, who have been exposed who, are not being counted. Already, there are 660K persons under virus watch in Thailand. Every expert in the world says, testing is an imperative. It is most important because, you cannot simply 'open up,' the country when you do not know who is a carrier and who is asymptomatic. We need to know these things or, the virus will rear its head again and sicken many more persons. We are doing a good job right now. But, this does not mean we should A. rush into 'normalcy' or, B. stop testing people. Please Please Please we need to be consistent about this. South Korea has been effective because, of their massive testing. China stopped testing everyone, started re-opening and theirs numbers are going up, in Singapore the numbers are going up after, they started to open up too soon. PLEASE DO NOT open up or, stop testing:(
Interesting number 660k - 10% wish of the population. Can you advise the source please.

I'm no expert but I don't see any evidence of ambulances queuing at hospitals with urgent admissions, patients lying on gurneys waiting to die, or on ventilators in packed out hospital wards, exhausted nurses and doctors pleading for more PPE, mass cremations or makeshift graves. I don't even see pictures of ordinary folk applauding on Thursday evenings in support of key workers. So show me the evidence you naysayers

To all the cynics out there I could buy your points if you could show me pictures or reports on social media or elsewhere of hospitals overwhelmed with people needing treatment, patients on trollies waiting to die, makeshift graves being dug or mass cremations, fathers,mothers, sons and daughters weeping about the death of a loved one, medics asking for more PPE or ventilators. Thai folk are very social media savvy and if this was a really serious problem then it would be out there. I'm not sure why it isn't happening here but just be thankful you're not in Europe or the US now because it's mayhem there. Thank God I'm here

Don't even know why the OP bothered to ask the question

Irrespective of the law says or doesn't I'm self isolating (over 70) which means I don't leave my apartment except to do two things - exercise around the condo car park and driving my wife to buy foodstuffs. I stay in the car whilst she shops.
I wear a mask when away from the room and clean hands very regularly.
Some people might find this extreme but I'd rather be laughed at for being too cautious than spending any time on a ventilator. Good luck

The authorities need to apply the same regimes that are present in BKK across the whole country

What's wrong with that ? Cruise liners need supplies throughout their trip and expect to pay for them.

I did my 90 day report online to CW two weeks ago and there was no mention of TM30. Like many posters I have never completed a TM30 ( I own my condo)

It sounds like you have applied to use the system, not submitted an online report. After approval you will get a username and password, then you can do an online TM30. The approval can take a couple of days through to a couple of weeks.
That makes sense - thanks for the reply as still waiting for user name and password.

I submitted online on 30 May, it's on the system but still 'waiting approval''. Does anyone know how long this typically takes?

I understand that but I'm talking about ones in "Featured Forum Threads" - someone has to decide which ones to feature

Who decides what questions are featured in this section? Seems like this question is asked pretty well every other day and the answers remain the same. Don't people read other posts on the topic before opening a new post. its getting boring guys - lets have some new topics/questions

In the event of your demise, they open online banking and transfer the funds. Or they hop on a plane and come and withdraw funds from an account they are signatory to.
They will need to be quick though because once the bank know of your demise they'll freeze the account

Obviously, this is office dependent.
Online and mail submittal success also might be variable.
I've seen reports (on other sites) from Div 1/CW that in-person 90-days reports remain viable (as of Tuesday of this week) without a qualifying TM-30 associated with the record. That could change in a day, obviously.
I plan to try an online 90-day report on/about 10 May. I do not have a qualifying or current TM-30, AFAIK one hasn't been filed for me since a hotel stay in Hia Hin last year.
For the OP, I'd go prepared (documentation, potential fine) to file a TM-30 in person prior to the 90-day report. Once filed then that would cover you for your Dec extension, barring an int'l departure and arrival, and/or potentially a hotel stay where you get registered.
I did see this report on FB this morning, guessing that "today" means yesterday, Thu. YMMV.
This is all very confusing - I did my 90 day report online a few days ago with no mention of TM30. My local office is CW

Yesterday I did my 90 day report online (CW)
No problems with registering and I received the formal STEP 4: ACKNOWLEDGEMENT (TM47) showing MY FIRST NAME, MY MIDDLE NAME and MY SURNAME in the correct order.
This morning I got the RECEIPT OF NOTIFICATION through, but the name shown was MY FIRST NAME, MY SURNAME and MY MIDDLE NAME in that order.
I checked the RECEIPT OF NOTIFICATION from my last online reporting and that had FIRST NAME, SURNAME and MIDDLE in that order too, although I didn't notice it at the time.
Is this normal? If so no problem
If it's not normal, what should I do?
Advice please - and thanks in advance

You are one of those candidates who may be more suited towards Thai citizenship, if you qualify.
As for petition - other than putting a big target on your back - what do you expect to achieve?
I fear my language skills are not good enough for Thai citizenship.
Can you explain a little more about the big target on my back as I don't understand your point.
As far as what do i expect to achieve then i thought with enough interested/committed individuals the point could be raised with the authorities - nothing to lose as fas as i can see.

I've lived in Thailand for 10 years now, own my condo and am married to a Thai. I can't apply for PR as my stay here is based on retirement. On the face of it this seems unfair particularly as I've no intention of leaving Thailand.
Has there ever been a petition for this rule to change?
Would people be interested in supporting such a petition?
90 day report and Retirement Visa extension
in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Posted
My next 90 day report is due on 9 November and I need to renew my Retirement Visa extension for another year by December 17. Ideally I'd like to do both on the same day.
I'm pretty sure the dates work ok, so my question is about which location - MT and CW (90 day at MT, Extension at CW), or just MT (for both) or just CW (for both) - and whether I can/need to make an appointment for both or either?
Thanks in advance
