I submitted a 2nd time, 14 days early, and got the same rejection mail. Both rejection mails say "Incorrect entry date upon entry into the kingdom/ Incorrect visa expiration date". Also, I re-entered Thailand in December while the email reminder only comes based on the previous online submission date not the correct deadline based on re-entry date, I believe. Regardless, thanks. 🙏

 

Never seen a rejection with a reason

Its location in the email body was:

Quote

 

Your application for "STAYING LONGER THAN 90 DAYS" has been rejected.

 

Incorrect entry date upon entry into the kingdom/ Incorrect visa expiration date.

 

Full Name : 

 

I don't know if it's new or if it's incorrectly sent for some unrelated rejection reason.

I'm in the same situation as you except I'm in BKK, and I submitted exactly 15 days before the deadline. It was rejected the following morning, so I submitted again in case I had a typo in the visa expiry date (not included in the confirmation PDF they provide), but again rejected the following morning. Anyway, I just wanted to share another data point of exactly 15 days early, even if from BKK.

 

The email reminder arrives the day before the 15 day window

MEA has a phone app in which you can see invoice, past consumption, comparison with previous year, and pay the bills with credit card.

This mostly worked for me until December 2023.  Now both MEA and CounterServicePay tell me that at least as of 2024, only Thai credit cards can be used to pay MEA bills. 😥 TrueWallet also doesn't allow credit card as payment source.

If anyone finds an app or website to pay MEA with a foreign credit card please let me know! 🙏

MEA Smart life works great if you have credit card. . . 

There is English and you don't have be owner to pay and check monthly usage.

Is anyone else still able to pay MEA somehow with a foreign credit card? Or if anyone finds any other way to pay MEA bills with foreign credit cards please let me know! 🙏

I downloaded the following apps:  MEA Smart Life / True iService / My AIS; and through these apps there are options to pay with VISA . . .

Counter Service Pay accept foreign credit card. I use their app.

You can use the MEA app to pay them. I sometimes pay the MEA with my UK credit card. A few Baht in fees for the 3rd party companies they use.

Sorry, what service(s) other than Counter Service have you used to pay electric with a foreign credit card, @moontang?

Update for anyone who stumbles on this thread via search - both MEA and CounterServicePay confirmed that at least as of 2024, only Thai credit cards can be used to pay MEA bills. 😥 TrueWallet also doesn't allow credit card as payment source.

If anyone finds a way to pay MEA bills with foreign credit cards please let me know! 🙏

I went to Samut Prakan immigration today and spoke to 2 different officials. They said that the reason that my report was rejected with the reason "Incorrect entry date upon entry into the kingdom/ Incorrect visa expiration date." was not in fact for those reasons but because I had left it too late (2 days before 90-day deadline). They also said it was nothing to do with it being my first report after leaving the country. The first official, who had loads of stripes down her arms, said submitting a 90 day report online must be done exactly 15 days before the 90-day deadline, no sooner, no later, even if that's a weekend. The second official was a bit more relaxed about the exact day but said that the system is not working well and is automatically rejecting lots of applications. He said the sooner you do it before the deadline (up to 15 days before), the better.

Don't all ATMs require a card to start doing machine stuff?

No, a number of Thailand banks allowed cardless transactions at ATMs, including even withdrawals - you could enter your phone number and a one-time-passcode from your phone and get money from an ATM without ever being issued any ATM card. I have not tested whether that is still possible since November's changes.

Before November, depositing to an account was possible with someone's account number, again without any ATM card. When I first started renting in Thailand, that was how the agent had me submit rent - enter the destination account number, deposit cash, done. This past November things completely changed at least on the deposit front.

Why on earth would you need to do that?

Is your question why would someone want to deposit money at an ATM/CDM into their own account? Or why they would not want to pay to do so?

At least as a foreigner, until Q4-2023 I was able to deposit into my own accounts at Krungsri and SCB CDMs by typing in my account numbers. However, both banks' CDMs now require a Thai ID (passport didn't work) or Thai ATM card apparently. Krungsri said they made that change on November 11, 2023. I haven't yet tried Bangkok Bank.

Anyone know of a workaround to do free cash deposits into one of my own Thai accounts? Do any Thai banks offer free ATM cards? (Do any Thai banks still allow CDM deposits without a Thai ID/ATM card?)

He also explained and confirmed I have 7 days from my report date before I need to go to immigration.

I recall hearing that before, and the official document mentions that it can be submitted within that 7 day grace period. However, the multiple references to having to pay a 2,000 baht fine only mention 90 days. https://www.immigration.go.th/en/?page_id=1666

"If a foreigner staying in the kingdom over 90 days without notifying the Immigration Bureau or notifying the Immigration Bureau later than the set period, a fine of 2,000.- Baht will be collected."

Also interesting that between this thread and one other on ASEANNOW, there are many reports of people getting approval after 15 days of pending.

Are you sure that everyone was being asked?

I could only hear some conversations, but I heard multiple people being told to go to a different counter to do a TM30, including one or two people who said they owned their condo.

For the next part I could only hear 60% of it, but I believe at least one other person said they had filed their TM30 electronically and they were asked to show it on their device.

Separately, interesting that many people seem to be getting approved after 15 days pending.

As far as whether there is a 7 day grace period on top of the 90 days, the official document mentions that it can be submitted within that period. However, the multiple references to having to pay a fine only mention 90 days. https://www.immigration.go.th/en/?page_id=1666

"If a foreigner staying in the kingdom over 90 days without notifying the Immigration Bureau or notifying the Immigration Bureau later than the set period, a fine of 2,000.- Baht will be collected."

I applied about noon on the first day, after which it was pending. I waited as long as possible until 1 PM on the due date, then to avoid the 2000 baht fine i set off for chaengwattana. At 5:07 PM while still waiting in the queue my application from 15+ days ago was approved. 

A Thai person there had been pending for 11 days. They spoke with the staff about their case but the staff just had them fill out a new paper. 

Everyone was being asked for their tm30. I hadn't traveled in 4 months since my last tm30 online but at 4 pm I submitted a new extra one online just in case.

This has happened to me on the last 2 occasions. Ended up having to go in person on final day.

mine has been pending with Bangkok for 14 days, due tomorrow, so I may have to do the same as you. 

I submitted 14 days ago, still pending. Due tomorrow. Bangkok. 

I was excited to see recent headlines that trial runs of the Pink rail line started today, but apparently those are private trials and public trials will start next month. https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/general/40030180 

Older info said that government complex would be part of the first phase, including the link to BTS Wat Phra Sri. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Line_(Bangkok)

The iOS app for TM47 also seems to spin endlessly after entering your password.

(I'm in a similar boat to others -- submission received email previously received on Aug 6, then nothing further. When I submitted previously in May, my approved email came 6 calendar days later.)

Listen to Robert Malone on Joe Rogan. He tells all the best drugs to use as he invented Moderna and now been kicked off mainstream social media.

Oof. I could not find that he has ever worked with Moderna? Where did you hear that he invented Moderna? In the 1980s he was one of the earliest scientists to publish about mRNA, although expert(s) seem to say that there are “hundreds of scientists who contributed more to mRNA vaccines than he did.”

Other of Malone's claim(s) from the Rogan interview are fact-checked here. Twitter and YouTube both took down the Rogan-Malone interview for spreading misinformation, although the interview with video is still available on Rogan's official (Spotify) channel.

emirates policy is enough.

As @KannikaP previously said:

On 11/7/2021 at 5:59 PM, KannikaP said:

The 'free' insurance with Emirates begins when your return flight starts and finishes the moment you land back in Thailand unless you have a one-way ticket. So no good if you need insurance up to your next Extension date.

I also got the Emirates/AIG Proof of Insurance document for my Thailand>US>Thailand flight (similar to the one from the first post in this thread although mine was 2 pages long).

Same as KannikaP's, it states that coverage ends on the day I arrive back in Thailand, so that would not be enough @internationalism?

I did my report at Muang Thong Thani last week. I asked the initial queue staff a couple times about doing it online but got no answer. I then asked the person processing my report about it. They said it was broken. I asked again how I could do it online and they said I’d have to contact the IT head office.

(I’m sure ubonjoe’s answers are correct but I’m just sharing what the staff said.

Online last worked for me in December. My visa extension was April/May.)

Almost everyone whos been here a minute knows you don't have to -and should never- fill your prescription at the hospital. Take it to a regular pharmacy. If it cant be bought there, you can always go back to the Hospital.

At Sukumvit Hospital Bangkok I told the dermatologist I wanted to buy the  meds they recommended outside the hospital. The dermatologist said I had to buy the initial fill at the hospital but could then refill where I want.
