TM47 make photocopy from smartphone?
The Fugitive replied to rutteketuut's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I changed the date (in biro) each time I made an on-line report. My regular IO warned me that's not valid and I should either; 1) Print it out and staple the new one in each time or 2) Visit Immigration Office for my 90 day reporting. That was telling me! -
I thought healthcare in Thailand was supposed to be cheap?
The Fugitive replied to Startmeup's topic in Health and Medicine
Especially if your Mrs takes out Life Insurance on you. Mine views it as a funeral plan! I'm indirectly paying my own monthly premiums of course. Determined to survive the 20 year term and collect refund of all my premiums paid plus bonus. -
Agreed, internet really is tops in Thailand! Even out in the rice paddies it's fast, cheap and same day service if there's any problem.

Shopee better on delivery. Rang me up at 9am on day of delivery confirming which of my two addresses (home or shop) I was at today.

Because of geographical location? It's still UK territory inhabited by Brits. We have 'special arrangements' with non-NATO Countries (such as Chile) which proved most useful in 1982. I've personally taken part in a NATO exercise hosted by Chile (USA in command of course). Any more monkey business from those Italians who speak Spanish and think they're English and they won't know what (or who) has hit them!

Unlimited data, as is the norm for wired internet in Thailand. 12 month contract. Already have 300/300 at shop and speeds are always 'up there'. Can recommend!

Many fibre internet special offers appear on my Facebook. Starting price 399 baht per month for 300/300 with free router and installation. I messaged True and received reply in excellent English.

Amazing price! Very good service. -
Where should/will an agent register me?
The Fugitive replied to trax33's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I never asked, they offered to help for less than my agent charges. Best if you take a Thai person with you as they 'understand' each other! -

My IO operate a 'book system'. After each extension you can pay 2,000 baht and your name goes into the book for them to do your 90 day reports for you until your next extension. A tip gets you the VIP service i.e. telephone appointment, no form filling or questions, just hand in your passport and bank photocopies and they take your deskcam photo. They're always offering to help me in some way! -

In my own case that wasn't necessary. The IO asked me how much the agent charged and offered to 'do it for less'. -

Then your agent will either have to submit your 90 day reports upon your behalf or supply you with the address they've given to the IO so that you can do them. If you can't resolve this you could try going to the IO in the area you're actually living in and explain. If they're anything like my own IO they will jump at the chance to undercut your agents fees. -

LatPhrao has provided a most superb solution. You need to obtain a copy of form TM30 from your landlord. 90 day reporting and extensions must use this address. No need for your agent to do your 90 day reporting for you (unless you've already paid in advance for the service). Easy to do at Immigration Office/by post/on-line. -

LatPhrao has put in into a nutshell. The key is the TM30 by his landlord. When he has this he'll know the address the IO have upon their records. He will then be able to make 90 day reports and apply for extensions with utmost ease.
