    I have seen doc lists - these are published by all sorts of folks: first-hand reports, agregators, web-sites, law firms, posts here - which sometimes mention "past 90-day report forms", often followed by "if applicable" or "if available".

     

    What all this means, or how it might be enforced by any number of the thousands of IOs in all the offices, is difficult to say.

     

    I would hope that our 90-day "history" is available on line for IOs to review if necessary?

     

    I usually include my two most recent 90-day reports (done online, so app + next appt). Whether these are required is unknown.

     

    If you have them, include them. If not, what can you do?

     

    Personally I scan everything Imm related so have it in digital form.

     

    And I can view all 90-day reports on line, or via the mobile app.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I have never heard of anything so stupid. The form I fill out for my 90 day report have all been retained by the immigration officer. By the way why do they make us fill form out for a 90 day report. There have been times when the Immigration officer has thrown it in the bin and not needed it which translates to me that they enjoy making life as complicated as possible. When your passport number and name are entered on their computer it automatically prints the same or similar form with a perforation at the bottom of it  which automatically gives a date for your next report.. Filling all these forms out is like Immigration is 20 years behind the rest of the world for something we shouldn't not have to do anyway!!!! So there is no mistake working out when 90 days is as sometimes Immigration used to get my next 90 day date wrong!!!

  2. My wife and I went to Taryang/ Phetchaburi Immigration last week and asked them about a "combo". My marriage is not registered so I need an extension  as a single person. I always keep 400,000 bt in a fixed deposit . We asked about my Pension which is transfered directly from Australia by Centerlink ( social security) which is done at the Australian end fee free my Government. I showed my passbook and were told that I need a statement for the full year from the bank with every page stamped Plus a letter confirming the fixed deposit of 400,000 bt. Take the 2 passbooks  and copies ( 1 for the regular savings account with the direct pension payments from overseas and 1 for the fixed deposit). These must be dated the same day as I apply for my retirement extension. Also take the usual documents as in the past re my wife's house and details. They could not clarify if I could draw the 400,000 bt, or half of it out . My visa is not due until August so it's not urgent . She also could not clarify if the same combination of bank accounts and income could be used in August 2020. The officer  also showed me one she had just done with the "farangs" statements all stamped  and the covering letter for the money in the relevant bank. So in my situation it looked easy . If in 2020 we have a problem my wife has a 3 year multitransit visa so we will exit and do 50/50 Thai/ Australia. In Australia  a That would cut out ever having to go to Thai immigration and would never have to have money in banks tied up in Thailand... 90 Day visas has always been easy to get. I understand that many of us are in a dire situation and I know people who are leaving and "running" their prior to there visa expiring.

  3. I am Australian and have 400,000 bt. in the bank for the required time. My question is my pension is transferred into my Bangkok Bank Passbook every 4 weeks which is 13 times a year. The BKK bank code is BTN and it shows clearly in my passbook. That adds up to just over 500,000 bt in specific  transfers to my Thai bank. These add up to well over 800,000 bt. Does anybody know it this "combo " method is this still acceptable . The embassy have stopped doing verification declarations.. If this is no good I will depart Thailand in August. Unfortunately I will be leaving a very nice Thai Lady who will be broke and will have to sell her car, pull here Daughter out of an International School in Bangkok which will probably destroy her chance of going to University .  It is quite plain to me that the Thias couldn't care less.. Surely it's immoral to kick someone out when they have done so much.  Many families will be destitute as a result. I  can not support her from Australia as I have to take my cash with me. Like any returnees I have to buy a decent car upon arrival, find somewhere to live which is easy but costly. Like many returnees I doubt if I ever will return.  I am getting to the stage where I don't care.. In Cha-am there have already been goodbye parties for people leaving so it is happening.. To get back to the question .. Does anybody know if the "combo" method will still work. Thankyou
