'Got the same online rejection a few months ago (after successfully applying for the past 2 years.) The nice lady in the TM30 office informed me that I needed a new one because the one I had was "too old." 'Pointed-out I've been in the same place since the 2019 date shown. She issued a new one & I popped over to do the 90 day report in person - all in a single afternoon!

Best "Bang for the Buck" in CM for sure! Daily specials and amazing prices on cheese and cold cuts. Rudi still one of the most generous owners around. Happy to patronize them.

Weird… I’ve been happily doing 90 day reports online without incident for the past year and a half or so. However, when I filed this time (by copying & pasting the same info as always), I was rejected. The explanation email read in part: Contact immigration to update the (TM30) accommodation notification to date. The last declaration of accommodation (TM30) is not Chiang Mai. Over live to Immigration, I went first to the TM30 place to see the nice lady, who seemed as baffled as I was. When I produced my original TM30 slip, she accurately noted that it was dated in 2019. “This is old!” she said (not unlike an aspiring detective.) When I pointed out that I’ve been living in the same place since 2019, she began to grill me about being sure I had not left Thailand during that time. Although I did want to mention that my August app was approved immediately as was my annual visa – all at the very same address – she seemed somewhat unconvinced. Thus, I held my tongue, didn’t mention CV19, just looked down at the floor and waited… With an impressive exhalation of her breath, I heard the stamp of success before I looked up to see her handing me a brand new TM30. Over to the 90 days window, it seemed to take ages as the poor gal scanned and searched and scanned some more until the final victory was achieved. ‘Still have no idea what happened but did want to share the experience!
