Vientiane is generally a good location to apply for visas. If you have all the required documents, it should go smoothly. Note that you need an appointment to apply in Vientiane (https://thaivisavientiane.com/)

Thank you. 
You already answered my first question on cancelling my VISA. 

 I currently have a Non-O marriage VISA and a Work Permit (new only 2 weeks old), VISA due to expire next month. 
My employer and I want to transfer it to a non-B VISA and recommend I leave the country to get it e.g Laos, get my non-B, re-enter Thailand and they will sort out the year extension. 

My employer said I have to go to CW immigration to cancel my current VISA before hand. It is a single entry VISA so I thought if I left the country it would just cancel it automatically. Is my employer correct? I have to cancel it in Thailand immigration first? 

Next question is about the non-B application process in Vientiane, Laos; is it a good place to do it? Is it smooth? I have been told some places are better than others. 
I work in a big International School, Work Permit, the school will provide all the documentation.

I have a similar situation but the other way around.

If your 90 report was due in Jan 23 but you renewed your 1 year VISA in Dec 22, does that reset your 90 report? I know is you leave the country it reset it for when you arrive back but does renewing your VISA?

I submitted early Friday the 3rd morning, got a "successfully received" notice at 9:30 AM, but should I expect nothing to happen until after the weekend and the Monday 6th holiday? Thanks.

Same as me. Submitted on the 3rd and still "pending".

I would try once more and even though the "Stay Visa Expire" date is not a mandatory field, I would enter 12 November 2022 in that data field.

Cheers. It's been approved because of this. I've never had to fill this part out before. 

All 5 applications I used to the same information, I knew it was correct as it was used for my previous 90 days, they gave 5 different reasons on the rejections. 

Crazy.

That entry should have been for 90 days unless you have a non immigrant OA visa (which would give entry for one year if you passport does not expire),  Please check for a "permitted to stay until:" type stamp from immigration in passport and confirm what that says.  It should be a specific day/month.

The 12th of Nov. It say so. There is nothing wrong with my VISA.

As said a multi entry visa does not allow any stay in Thailand - when you enter you normally get a 90 day stay and then you have to leave.  The permitted to stay is the stamp from immigration on arrival or when you extend your stay that has a date you must leave Thailand.

My stamp from immigration when I arrived in Jan has 'until November' (in according to my VISA or extension). I did a successful 90 day report online in March, got notified my next one is due 23rd on June, which is the one I'm doing. 

I've applied 4 times now and the rejections were house number, or telephone number and other reasons. Everyone is different but the information is the exact same as my successful 90 day application back in March.

Yes and no - if you actually had a multi entry visa that expires in Nov but arrived with a normal 90 day permitted to stay six months ago it could account for being overstay.  I know it is not your fault for calling visa/permitted to stay the same thing but it can cause real issues.

Ok. I have a multi- entry VISA that needs renewing in November, my VISA is fine thank you. 

Yesterday it got rejected for my house number being incorrect, then it was "Visa Validity Date is missing" which is not a required field. 

All different reasons but with the same information.

You continue to say your "visa".  I hope you mean one year extension of stay from immigration, as a visa does not allow you to stay in Thailand (just to fly here and present yourself to immigration for permission to stay - it is the permission to stay stamp that allows you to remain in Thailand - not the entry visa).

Ok ok I know, incorrect terminology but you know what I mean.

The problem is with the officer doing the approvals at your local immigration office. Evidently they do know know anything about the new online report site's requirements.

Been rejected again, again the same info was used this time the reason was "Please check expiry date of visa in your passport". My VISA expires in November.

It's the Bangkok office, surely they have people working there at know what they are doing.

What are putting for address? 

Did you try to auto fill the form. It gets all the info you entered before by clicking the magnifying glass after completing your passport number and selecting your nationality.

Try submitting another report. It often gets approved doing it again.

I have used the autofill, as I said my last 90 day report got approved, I still have the receipt so I can match the info.

first rejection was , Visa Validity Date is missing, then Invalid Address (House No. or Room No. is missing) yet all had the same information. 

It seems to be making it up now.

It should not be a reason unless the officer doing it was not aware of it not being required,

Update:

I reapplied using the exact same info, which was accepted on my previous 90 day report I still have the receipt so checked everything is the exact same, been reject again because: "invalid Address (House No. or Room No. is missing)" It's the same as last time.

What's going on?

This one.

It means the day your extension ends. Not a required field though.

Would you suggest I just do the same thing again?

I didn't fill it out. Why would that be a reason to reject my application?

Maybe it is one of the offices that does not issue a 90 dayer if there isn't 90 days until your yearly is due .

There is more than 90 days left on my current VISA. 

My online application just got reject for this reason "Visa Validity Date does not fill." Does anyone know what it means? 

I successfully applied for a 90 day report, 80 days ago, I got a reminder the current one is due on the 23rd of June. 

I have no idea.

My TM47s was always approved on the old website but with this new website my TM47 was denied. Any idea why? All information is IDENTICAL to my previous 4 TM47s and nothing has changed with my info/visa/passport etc. 

Try tweaking your address, 4 times mine got rejected finally found out because I put "Soi" in my address ( which I always write.)

hope better luck 2nd time....if approved, should be within 24-48hrs...but like so many things, when something is not approved/in order, never say why...

 

4th time lucky, all because I put "soi" in my address. 

Be very careful with the address people. 

Panic over. After 2 rejections it have been approved on my 3rd attempt. 

I took the word 'soi' out of my address. haha mental. 

I applied for my 90 day report, got the application through on PDF and pending. The next day it said rejected. And I have no idea why. I am within 15 days, I've never missed one previously. 

Anyone have some advice? I have applied for another one which again is pending. 

I filled out the online forum yesterday and got the email with the PDF file for the TM47 application all nicely filled out with the status a pending. 

Received and email today saying my application has been rejected. I'm within the 15days, never missed one in the past. 

I've filled out another application and it says status pending again. 

any advice?

I did my 90 report this morning, thought I would share the experience. 

Last time I made an appointment for 9am which worked fantastically and I was in and out in 10 mins. This time with no appointment as the website is down I was expecting the worst, I was pleasantly surprised.

I arrived just at 9am all of the seats were taken but the lady calls people up in groups of 10 so as soon as I pick up a form and filled it in there were seats available. I brought my earphones expecting I will have enough time to watch some TV but soon realised the lady was calling the next 10 up very quickly, so didn't bother. 

From walking in and walking out took 30mins. Walked in, filled out a form, joined the queue which maybe 10 people in, the lady (doing 3 different jobs, there was only 1 lady working, last time I was there there were 4) checked it and gave me a blue card with a number on, I sat down for 10-15mins, number 130 to 140 got called out then you walk to the office, stamp stamp, done. Very well organised, lots of social distancing.

Twice in 2 days I have been impressed with Thailand and organising; yesterday I was vaccinated in and out in 1 hour and today with my 90 report. Normally I curse them for it but credit where credit is due.

Special shout out to the lone lady doing 3 peoples job at 8:30am, she didn't rest for 3seconds when I was there. Checking documents, getting the next 10 people in the right order, shouting out the numbers in English and Thai all at the same time. I wouldn't be working that hard on a Monday morning.
