The one for Bangkok was taken down in June due to security and privacy concerns.

Easily fixed. 3 months later and they still haven't. <deleted>

Its the bloody appointment website down as well now?

Thank you every one for your help. I did my 90 day report today and I thought I'd share my experience to give something back. 

I made and appointment for 9:05am ( I was very lucky today was the day I had to report and this time popped up, must had been a cancellation). I got there at 8:30, filled in the form, handed it in, showed my appointment email and got told to wait until they called my name at about 9:00. It is on the 2nd floor of an empty car park so it's shaded and you get a nice breeze flowing through. I stood on 2.5 floor, because I didn't want to be sat with everyone else. The speaker is loud so no problem in missing your call. 

At 9:04 I got called, went to desk A1, handed in my passport and was out the door at 9:06. 

Truth be told I could had turned up at 8:55 but better to be safe than sorry. 

An unnecessary process which was actually ran efficiently and I'm pleased I didn't pay 2000B for an agent to do it for me. I drove, loads of parking 20m from the door, I live Ekkemai way and it took me 25min in the car, nothing on the road. 

If it remains at this location in 3 months time I wouldn't be too bothered if the online service isn't working....as long as you get a good appointment time.

I assume you only completed the required fields marked with a red asterick. Some people have entered their flight number wrong that is not required.

The record the system normally checks is from your last entry to the country. It could be an error done by the officer when  entering them the the last time you entered the country. 

Joe I spoke to IO and they told me they know of the issue, it's not us putting in the wrong information, though I sure there will be some, there is an error with their online system.

Every office in Bangkok is under Division 1.

Muang Thong Thani is a temporary additional office for Chaeng Wattana.

Cheers for your help guys. I called the 1178 and the lady told me, pretty good service actually. I asked about why the Online service is down and she said they have also put the request towards the department about the issue.

You have to fill out a new TM47 each time in Bangkok.

 

Will add waiting in in open garage area so at this weeks temps will not be pleasant so probably best to make appointment and get to head of queue.

Thank you guys.

I made an appointment, however it says; 

"It’s an online appointment queue reservation for foreigners who will come to be served at Immigration division 1 only. Immigration division 1 is responsible for providing services for foreigners who reside in Bangkok only."

Division 1 is not at the location you sent me but the IO Changwattana.

Do you know how to make an appointment? 

Sorry for all the questions.

MTT and you can make appointment or just show up (normally not too busy).  If you have 15 days can mail and online seems to be off/on recently.  

Great, thank you very much. 

All I need is my passport with last 90 report and TM6 departure card in it, correct?

Where do you go to report in BKK now? Can you make an appointment or do you just turn up? I have always done it online or paid an agent 2000B to do it but I really should do it myself. 

Ok thank you. I'm in BKK.

Yup, maybe ???? 

 

I’m pretty sure I covered all the bases as I tried maybe 30 times using the drop down menu, leaving out the boxes without asterisk , different browsers, etc etc and I have had successful reports before the website went down.

 

There is some school of thought that if you do a report in person that the online will not register that and cause it to fail, personally I don’t believe that to be the case, also I have seen a few posts from posters claiming to have reported in person  , followed by an online report on this thread.

I tend to think that on doing the in person report the IO omitted to update some info on the system.

 

I do find it hard to believe that it is down to operator error, although there will be some, due to the large amount of posters struggling with the same issue as myself.

 

Anyway, hopefully things will become more transparent later.

 

I bit the bullet and reported in person as it’s only a few minutes away for me and the IO is not highly populated so will have to wait until next time to try again.

Thank you for your info.

Where is it  now? Did you make an appointment or just turn up?

I got an appointment for 11.00 today and we left the house early as we are North East of Minburi and got to travel Ramintra and ChangWattana to Pak Kret. My beloved scanned the QR Code onto her phone and we drove to the location - a vast mostly empty complex out in the back of beyond, 

Showed our booking receipt, got waved into a car-park level 2nd floor in use as a TM 47 90 day report centre, queued up less than 5 minutes ans showed out booking and were given a number. My wife told them why we were there, not to notify a 90 day report but to get the long overdue receipt. So a lady took my passport and the papers we'd brought, copy of expired TM47, postal receipt, result of tracking showing delivery the following day, 14 days before expiry.

So lady looked at our booking receipt and said that is NOT for this office. The Website for bookings takes one to one place, but the QR code given out by Imm 1 at CW goes to this other complex. BUT the lady did more than jump the queue for us too - she took all the papers including a copy of the original TM47 form, already signed in case - plus passport and copy of expired receipt and shot off down the corridor. 

Came back after 5 minutes clutching my passport and all my papers plus the all important receipt. The only thing was it was dated the day of delivery to Laksi and then 90 days thereafter as we discovered when we got home, so it's 14 days short of the 90 days. Well, why look a gift horse in the mouth, certainly not going back to correct it. So wherever the appointment was for we wound up at the Immigration building on Popular Road, Pak Kret, Nonthaburi. 

 

When you say all of your papers? What papers? I thought all you need is your passport and TM47 form.

Did you prepay 37 baht for EMS return? Always recommend this minor expense.

 

 

Currently only appointments for ext stay/retirement. Next year? Probably the same, but check back obviously.

ATTENTION BANGKOK MEMBERS ONLY
90 DAY ONLINE APPOINTMENT BOOKING PROGRAM
There is a glitch in the 90 day online appointment booking program that will not let you make an appointment to file your 90 day report unless you do this
When you go into the system at this website
http://203.151.166.132/immigrant_queue/booking/ you need to fill in your data.
Select "90 Days Report (TM47) At Muangthong Thani (B-1)".
THEN put the date you WANT to go file your 90 day report into the "Visa Expire Date" and select that date again in the "Appointment Date". It will bring up the open appointments for the date you chose.
That is the ONLY way to get the online appointment booking for 90 day reporting in Bangkok to work.
NOTE: it TOTALLY saves time to book an appointment for your 90 day report. You show up, show the appointment receipt, get a special queue card and jump the whole waiting queue at a special "appointment only" desk for 90 day reports.
One last thing, when you make an appointment for ANYTHING using the online booking system check your spam or junk mail folder for the confirmation because it comes from this email "[email protected]" and most spam filters catch it.

Once you get there at your appointment time, do you know roughly how long you are in and out of the door? The only appointment I can get is 14:00 but I have to be back at home for 17:00.

Second question open to the floor; Do anyone know an agent that will do the report for you? I have a girl that does stuff like this when I really can't be bothered but she will charge 2000B. I was wondering if anyone knew someone cheaper?

Have you tried typing first few letters of your nationality.

Yes, of course. 

I' ve always done my online but the website seems to be down for the last few days. After trying to register for the app, the drop down box for your nationality is blank therefore I can't register.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Not when you're too late. But they so called grey period still exists. But not for online posting. 

 

   I think it's 15 days before the due date and seven days after. Please correct me if I'm wrong. 

Online is 15 days before but nothing after.

To avoid this issue again go to the DLT Smart License App and register and retain a copy online it's in Thai but just hold your Google Translator Camera OCR reader over it and it's a piece of cake.

 

You can take screenshots and store the licence images on your phone. 

 

The other trick is print off your licence back and front on a colored printer cut to size and trim and stick glue together slightly and laminate it and trim it. 

 

I do this with about 4 copies I use in different places like my phone cover, my wallet, my cards holder and my document holder I travel with in my pocket with all my Thai laminated IM docs.

 

Lock your real licence away with your passport for security.

 

Now you have an online version, a copy on your phone and multiple laminated hard copies that look as good as the original. 

 

The DLT Smart Licence App is now officially accepted as a valid form of driver ID and as licences are no longer confiscated by the BIB your all set. 

 

 

All very good advice. You are far more organised than I am. 

Just do it online....super easy, takes 30 seconds

You don't need a police report any more. I lost mine last year and went to the police station to report it but the cops there told me it's no longer required. Sure enough, I went to the DLT office and they didn't need one. All your details are on their system, so as long as you have passport, work permit etc. they just take a new photo and print out a new licence. This was Bangkok by the way, Phrakhanong police station and the DLT office at Bangchak.

Thank you very much for this. 

I just called Thong Lor Police station and they said I do need a report, so i'll do it anyway just in case. I'm pleased I don't need to go to Changwattana to get a residency document. I'm also pleased I don't have to go to the main DLT at MoChit.

I did my license just outside Pattaya, I'm assuming I can go to a BKK DLT, such as Bang Chak?

That is true, and the officer who helped me when I lost mine said it's best to say you lost it while riding on a baht bus.

OK great stuff, so a police report and then what? Passport, police report and then to the motor department or is they other documents I will need?

Does anyone know how you get a new driving license ID card when you have lost yours?

I don't want to be going to the Department of motor then having to go to Changwattana, then here and there collecting document after document making it a 2 day affair. 

I have read on Thai Visa, but it was a 4 year old thread,  you need a police report and your passport, go to Motor department and thats it....easy.

An agency I use for some official things if feeling lazy said I need a proof of residence document from Changwattana, passport then go to Motor department. 

Would be greatful for some help.

Apologies if this is in the wrong sub forum but the motor forum seems to be only for car sales.
