For my last desktop build I imported some hardware from the US with newegg, worth checking out.

A pdf browser exploit would fetch a high price in bug bounties, I doubt it'd be wasted on you. I don't think there's been a 0day like this in the wild now for a quite a while.

 You need to put a house or room/condo number on it.

Was probably the issue with mine. If they asked for the room number I'd give it to them. I guess I'll put in brackets next to the building name next time. Seemed to work fine without it before but I guess it was lacking enough challenge for Thai immigration's tastes.

I am indeed

Thanks @ubonjoe You can delete this thread now if you like unless you think it'll help others.

Online reporting keeps getting rejected, are we back at Chengwattana Immigration or are we still going to the Covid Carpark?

Sorry for making a new thread just for this but I couldn't find the info.

Thank you, I managed to find it okay. I don't have what I need with me at the moment to try it but when I get home I'll see if I have any luck. In any case, I think I'm way too close to my report date. (10th) for it to work, but next time it rolls around I'll give it another shot. Appreciate the info.

the new online system

ooh, I wonder if this one will actually work for me. I won't hold my breath though.

Instead of starting my own thread, can I ask here if 90 day reports are still in that carpark place in Bangkok or are they back in Chaengwattana Immigration? I have to do mine next week.

The VFS office at The Trendy in Bangkok is open but with limited opening times.

That does in fact appear to be the case. Well, I've had my excitement for the day at least. If anyone as silly as myself in a similar situation finds this thread, just email them, calling them seems to be rather counterproductive.

There was a thread over the weekend about someone needing to collect a passport having been contacted by VFS.  Are you certain they knew you were calling about passports and not visas?  I think I'd be inclined to send the appointment request email and see what comes back, if anything.

I'm certain I made that very clear and they did indeed forward me to consular services, if I were applying for a visa I'm not sure they'd do that. Perhaps they were able to pick it up because they'd already successfully applied. I'm on hold again with a flabbergasted agent from the Passport Adviceservice.

You can confirm here.

Also thanks for the link but this is for Czech people. Took me a while to realise why it was saying Sam Yan instead of Trendy building.

After 20 minutes on hold to the Passport Adviceservice a robot told me they'll call me back.

@WhiteBuffaloATM Mate, I've lived abroad close to 10 years, I don't burden my friends with this sort of stuff out of the blue when they've got their own stress in life to deal with. Otherwise I appreciate the advice. I'm going to call the Passport Adviceline now to see if they can offer any more wisdom.

Sorry, saw this after we posted the message above. Can you explain what you mean by a consular representative telling you the VFS is closed? 

I said they told me it's not closed. (It is closed!)

consular representative that assured me that 1) The VFS is not closed

I called the VFS, they told me they're closed, they forwarded the line to consular services, they told me it's not closed. It is closed!

As far as we are aware the VFS is open. You can confirm here.

They're not open. I've called them to confirm as much.

simply apply as living in home country with friends / family there for onward mailing service.........

I don't have any family in the UK and of the friends I do have I wouldn't want to put any of them through the hassle on my behalf. Surely there must be another option. The Gov.uk site takes me round in circles when trying to apply online and having called the VFS they forwarded me to a consular representative that assured me that 1) The VFS is not closed (it is, they told me as much themselves) and 2) Thai immigration wouldn't penalise me under the circumstances (which was pretty funny).

I'm waiting for 8am UK time to call the Passport Adviceline, Hopefully they'll be of some assistance although I'm not holding my breath.

Apologies if I come across a little grumpy, these things tend to stress me out more than they should, perhaps.

My understanding is the VFS is currently closed and they're the people that can provide the passport renewal service. What am I supposed to do if I need a new passport? I cannot extend my visa with my current one.

I have one that I'd consider selling, Acer Aspire v3-571g, intel core i-7, 8GB ram, big 15.6" screen, brand new 500GB SSD. The only problem is I've sticker bombed it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't know about anyone else, but I sure feel more safe.

Still too early to say how this whole thing is going to play out. Let's keep our fingers crossed for Thailand, lads. Hopefully it will all turn out for the best for the good of the country and all the people who call it home.
