The increase in cost from Bht 4 to Bht 5 per unit is only for over 300 units per month.

Are you sure about that?

My information is that the charges per unit will stay the same (0 - 150 = ฿3.2484; 151 - 400 = ฿4.2218; over 401 = ฿4.4217) however the FT charge will increase from ฿0.2477 to ฿0.9343 which applies to all units used.

I suspect that “professional IT staff” was the problem all along. Best to outsource to the pros.

Yes. Far superior to the Chief IO's brother-in-law.

Online registration has never worked once for me in any of its iterations since its inception, despite all my best efforts.  However, today, Sweet Baby Jesus blessed me and I was accepted into the tribe of online registers.  Hallelujah! 

A colleague here in Surin has a 2002 dated TM6 and this week was the first time he has successfully had his on-line report accepted.

It works very good. Many people have used it successfully that could not do it on the old site.

I, and the majority of people that I know (even the Luddites), have successfully reported using this new site.

Frankly I'd love to, but a search revealed nothing.

Somebody put me out of my misery?

 

Currently have one pending since late yesterday. Every time a struggle.

Forgot about the optional forenames issue, blast it.

When completing the on-line "Notification of stay over 90 days", on condition that you have reported on-line at least one time before, enter your passport number, then use the drop down to enter your nationality, then press the blue magnifier. All the remaining details will then be automatically entered as previously.

On the old system always entered my full name. On the new system didn't enter first and middle name as not indicated as required, no problem for the first two ocassions, accepted within a day or so.  Last week submitted again, without first and middle names and today rec'd an e-mail "rejected". Just re-submitted (not due until 27 this month) - will see what happens!

Do you not use the "automatic fill"?

But you could lie. Both in person and on-line.

 

My point is that they require your current address to keep track of you in case you're up to no good. But if you're up to no good you could report giving a false, or old address, and no-one would be the wiser. In fact, if you were up to no good you may not even bother to report at all.

My agent has offered to do it for free, but I like to get the standard receipt which tells me the exact date that I need to report again.

I believe that everyone who reports receives that receipt whether reporting in person, by post, on-line or through an agent. I have always received the receipt with my next report date (in 22 years).

Ok, cheers.

 

And I suppose the reason why they started it in the first place was....so they could keep our address up to date every 90 days?

 

Just genuinely curious of the original reason.

But you could lie. Both in person and on-line.

I remember my wife's application for a visa to visit the UK around 2002/3 there were questions on the application "are you a terrorist?" and "have you been involved with any terrorist organisations?". The form did advise you though that you could be subject to prosecution should you knowingly not tell the truth.

I applied for my new extension today and was successful. Without being asked Immigration issued a 90 day report receipt with a next report date of 16th August 2022.

I have today received email notification that my next appointment is due on 6th June 2022 (as per my last online report receipt). Should I report on line in accordance with the email or should I just ignore it?

However, I intend to apply to renew my extension of stay around mid May 2022 which will be greater than 15 days before my next 90 day report is now due. I wonder how that will pan out?

Do your extension and then do the report online within 15 days before the report date.

I shall do that, of course; unless Immigration decide to grant me a further 90 days from the date that I apply for my extension. Now the on-line system appears to be working for most of us, it's not a heartache either way.

For information: I submitted my on-line report submission at 08:30 yesterday and received approval at 14:18 today second success since the new system was launched). My actual report date was 3rd May 2022 and my new report date is "PLEASE NOTIFY YOUR ADDRESS AGAIN ON : 2022-06-06" the date when my current extension of stay expires (Surin Immigration).

However, I intend to apply to renew my extension of stay around mid May 2022 which will be greater than 15 days before my next 90 day report is now due. I wonder how that will pan out?

It doesn't help that when you receive a copy of your computer generated TM47 your nationality is detailed as "BRITISH" not "GBR-British". I discovered yesterday.

it sucks here, our immigration office is practically locked out, you can only go inside for extensions.. which seems to be only for the picture part.

90 days reports they do it outside with a few clerks checking information and then take your passport away and back out, impossible to talk to the immigration officers and the clerks are.. not very useful when pressed for questions.

Same here in both the main Kab Cheong office and the Surin sub office. However, I trust that I shall be able to report my 90 days on-line which is now due.

The site was up late yesterday for at least some time and it's up again now and yet I still haven't received my email, about 24 hours after registering.  Now I'm wondering if I should start the registration process again, or possibly click "Forgot Password", but I'm afraid that might tangle up the process if it's still in (very slow) motion.  Suggestions?

I attempted to registered last December (2021) when the site first came on line. It was a Friday and by Tuesday I still hadn't had a response. I tried registering again and received my password virtually by return.

so each office have their own address for mail in, where can i find the address online, do they list the address

Best to confirm your local office mailing address by asking them.

There is a list of immigration offices here. https://www.immigration.go.th/?p=17319

I would suggest that you also confirm that your local office accepts mail-in reports. For a few years mine (Surin) did not. Perhaps they still don't.

So with an existing, home country DL, the Thai DLT folks did NOT require you to take and pass their rules of the road paper test?

 

Not 20 years ago for my first, no. And not since.

[Edit. Correction. For my 5th I was required to sit in a class and watch a 60 minute video for 45 minutes and for my 6th I watched a similar video online and answered 3 questions. The results I took with me to Prassat DLT]

Immigration does not care about you having a yellow house book. Some offices will not even accept it for proof of address. Same at some DLT offices when applying for a drivers license or registering a car.

 

I applied for a new driving licence in Surin DLT office in November last year. My yellow book was not adequate, they required a pink ID and the boss was quite snotty about it. I drove 30 km to the Prassat DLT (still in Surin province) and they issued a new licence within 30 minutes, no pink ID required.

All my previous driving licences in Thailand (5) were issued purely on my UK licence and my passport (plus the reaction, colour blindness and depth tests)

Thanks.  It's been a calendar week which means 5 working days. Submitted 0642 (am) on Monday 7 March. 

 

I'll give it a couple more days and try to submit it again.

On the old system I once did have to wait almost a week for approval. I believe that the officer who operated the computer was on holiday.

Other offices? Seen reports of as little as twelve minutes.

 

It appears to be normal up here in the backwaters of Surin for approval (I've yet to hear of rejection) to be notified approximately 24 hours after submission.

"Want to figure out the date that is exactly ninety days from Mar 5, 2022 without counting?

Your starting date is March 5, 2022 so that means that 90 days later would be June 3, 2022.

You can check this by using the date difference calculator to measure the number of days from Mar 5, 2022 to Jun 3, 2022."

If you submit your online report in the middle of the week before the next report is due, you can't go wrong.
