Hi, it's the Kalasin office which is one of those currently under investigation by Big Joke. I have always done everything "by the book" and to be fair the staff there have always been extremely helpful and polite, including yesterday's visit. I guess the problem arose this year because of the ongoing investigation, for the first time ever they requested a copy of every single passport page.

Hi, does anyone recall or have details/dates about the amnesty mentioned in the title? I held a marriage based multi entry non o visa valid until July 1st 2020 I last entered Thailand on March 19th 2020, permission to stay given up until June 16th 2020 During this time the borders (and immigration offices?) were closed so I was unable to do the usual visa run and I believe the Thai government issued an amnesty. On September 23rd 2020 I was granted the 60 day extension for visiting my wife. I then did a couple of COVID extensions which gave me time to season the 400,000 Baht to apply for the marriage based extension, which I did without any problems in 2021 and 2022. Fast forward to Feb 2023 and I applied for the marriage extension once again which I was due to receive today (March 29th). However, it has been delayed because the immigration office was questioning the "gap" in my immigration history, ie there are no stamps in my passport to cover the time between June 16th and September 23rd 2020. Hence my question regarding the amnesty which I'm sure was in place at the time. I explained to the immigration officer about the amnesty but I wanted to check the facts with you guys.

No appointment is needed at Savannakhet, if you go at the weekend I guess you will apply on Monday which is best avoided as this is one of the days the visa run companies show up in force.

Just to be clear, when I say per day I mean 24 hours!

Yes it is, the new parking building is on the left as you approach the terminal , I believe it costs 150 baht per day. There are also private car parks on the approach road to the airport at 100 baht per day. These were the rates in October last year.

This bike shop is in Khon Kaen which may be more convenient. They respond quickly to messages on Facebook. I recently bought a Trek mountain bike from them was happy with their service. Naichan Bike Shop 119/3 Laonadi Road Tambol Naimuang Amphur Muang, Amphoe Muang Khon Kaen, Khon Kaen, Thailand

It's around 450km. There are fishing parks in Khon Kaen and Udon Thani which are closer, but I am trying to find something more local.

Tried that........... nothing.

90 day online report
jim hayes replied to orchidfan's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Though about doing that but as this was the second time the status of my application remained pending (for over 10 days)I decided to do it in person. I’ll try online again for my next report in September. -

My online 90 day report status was still shown as pending after 10 days so I clicked the cancel button and did in person in Kalasin. All done in 5 minutes! In another thread the poster said he was required to fill in a TM47 at this office but I did not, just handed over the passport. Kalasin is easy to deal with but for whatever reason online services don't seem to be available! -

Yes, but my point is that it does not get processed. -

Yeah that was probably a mistake! Although that implies that online services must only be used during office hours which seems crazy but TIT! I will try the cancel option on Monday and re submit my application. I will report back. -

This is the problem, status of application is still pending after 6 days. My report date is June 25th so maybe something will happen next week! -

Yes I know, at Kalasin the 90 day report is in a separate office to the extension applications. The staff that deal with the extension applications had no knowledge of my appointment. -

Hi Joe, I am using the new site. It is very easy and it works well, up to a point.
