Thanks everyone who replied and helped. I actually received a reply to my online application - 'Rejected' and told to go to Immigration. So, I went to an agent and she offered to do it (500bt) .... so I'm happy - I had thought, before I read all your messages that I was facing the 2000bt fine, so I'm relieved to get off with 500 to my agent. Lesson learned: Don't miss the date next time Thanks all. 😀😄

Hi, I'm three days late with my 90 day report. I tried applying on the TM 47 application page and got an acknowledgement email plus a filled-out pdf of the form TM 47. Did I receive the pdf to print it out and take to Immigration Office, or is there a possibility I might get a positive response from the online system, even though I'm 3 days late? Wondering about my next move. Many thanks for any advice/information.

Thanks everyone ( Will B Good, Pattaya57, Peabody, DrJack54, BritTim ) for your kind replies. Seems very clear - I'll have to start at step one again. At least now I know all the docs needed etc. I'll try the online Non Imm O before I leave Europe.

Hi I am one month into the 90 days of my first Non O (retirement) Visa. My need for a 12 month extension will come up on about 4th December, but I need to go home to Europe for a few months (family member quite ill). Can the 90 day 'clock' be paused while I am away (requesting permission to leave etc) or will it run out while I am away. If I apply for my extension in mid November, will I need to remain here until 4th Dec to get it in my passport. Any ideas, suggestions, info greatly appreciated. Many thanks. Omta

Many thanks to all who replied. Dear DrJack54 - I am not a 'troll' for sure .,,, I am going through the process of trying to get my first retirement visa. Sorry, but I'm not going to give detailed info about the office, amount etc as that would identify me and most likely would jeopardize my attempts to stay long-term. "Cowardice" you may say, but I seriously must consider my future. I fought a long battle once in India against corruption (so I did stand up once, at serious danger to my life, (as I was told by many) and at my age don't have the energy to devote many hours/days/weeks to change the 'system' in Thailand. Full marks and admiration to you Patriat - you are doing a great service to all who come after you (and ultimately to the people of Thailand) - so I say: Bravo - total admiration!

Hi all hope someone can help me with info about my first application for change of visa (Tourist to Non-Immigrant O for retirement). I have every doc required and all financial requirements fully ready, but my local imm office is being very 'difficult' ('Extra' requirement for help offered ... very large 'extra' requirement). Can I go to BKK and apply at CW using my rural country address, or must it be a BKK area address? (I have contract, TM30, house reg copy, landlord ID .... everything) thanks in advance for any advice
