But only in some small offices.
if you want to do this in Bangkok (CW), then you spend only for this small "hello i'm back" half a day. (about 2 hours wait for the queue and drive to and back....

 

In Bangkok it's always recommended use some non physical method.

my best guess would be after comming from outside... do the first report by mail (for BKK). take some time, but at least this should work. and then the ones after you can do again online.

Completely understand the CW hassle for a "hello I'm back" could be 6-7 hours correct. Mail a TM47 with your new arrival date could work I have no idea, as long as they assume you returned to the same address they have on your file - should work .....

Wonder if the Haka was performed prior to the assault,  Fools.........

It's a good idea after returning from abroad to whip into your Immigration office to tell them you have re-entered and are at the SAME address and they will re-set your 90 day cycle..... all good !

You will need to produce a printout of it on entry at the Immigration desks in my experience. They return it to you. You also will need it if applying in country for any extension in my experience.

Yes indeed, Phuket immigration requested and retained my Non O e-visa copy for a retirement extension, I guess the Non O Suvannabhumi arrival stamp wasn't good enough or the older O-A visa stamp in my passport made him nervous.....or he was having a bad day........

As above print off several copies will be needed for Airline, Arrival Immigration and possibly any Immigration visit in country.....

Something is very wrong with those kids running business in Thailand against local laws and regulations.
Even those days when overstay was 200THB/day we were more cautious. Nobody heard the word "ban" and "thaivisa" was a "company" 

But now? 

There's something very wrong with those or they are extremely desperate. Or neither...

Utter desperation......starting October 2022...

Looks like the Crackdown is for real this time......be relentless and clear em ALL out !!!!!!

I've met a few expats who have invested into a bar and their partner manages it.  They just sit and build rapport with customers to generate repeat business. So technically not working but just drinking and customers buying them drinks plus the bar staff. 

I've been told they need to be very careful to never lift a finger to help, in case they are deemed working.  Answering the phone to acknowledge a room is available, picking up a dirty ashtray to give it to staff, anything that a bar staff employee could do.  But recommending a drink is deemed working?  I hope there is more to the story than that as this sounds truly lame. 

Imagine you are sitting in a bar you invested in that your wife runs.  A regular comes in and says, "Mate, what do you recommend for something new to drink, I'm sick of beer?"  "Mate, how about a Sangsom and coke?" Thai undercover police swoop in.  Evidence of working!  No way.  

Sounds like you are likely pounding your liver while investing and building a rapport..........

Yes, I was whimsically thinking along those lines......could they go to any country where there are more displaced Chinese and Russians?

The US Air Force must know there are security flaws here, I'm sure they are looking after it...........

What's the penalty for working without permission ?

Chinese spies are in the area to take photos of the cockpit.........

Thailand should take the same action as Sri Lanka regarding Russians. Refuse to renew their visas and give them 14 days to vacate the country. Just google "russians sri lanka"

Do ya think they will be able to sell all their apartments and villas and businesses in 14 days ? 😉

Sri Lanka has cancelled their long stay visas for Russians recently due to poor behaviour issues. Take note Thailand, a good start anyhow to attack your 600,000 plus on the island....... when did we see the Aeroflot first flight water cannon arrival salute....... Oct. 2022 I believe...... what a turn of events which should have been seen much earlier...money clouds reality unfortunately.......... 

On your next trip to the noisy Russian packed 'common area', along with your eyeballing, utter "Slava Ukraini" and long live Navalny !!!!!

Take note Thailand......😉

Time to start worrying when you see Street signs in Russian 

The Russian language PA announcements at the airport every 4 minutes is enough !

You'd think they'd be ecstatic to be here in the sun away from the hellhole that is Russia, however, every single Russian I see looks like they've just trod on a dog turd.

Give that 'I just stepped in beach dog turd' look right back at them !!!!

Thats going to go down well with Putin, he has been losing 1000 soldiers a day in recent weeks attacking Adivka, he will need to start drafting again after the elections so males of fighting age will have to flee

There you go, doors are open to Thailand, but Putin closes the doors for departures from the motherland....

A poster said on a similar topic earlier..." Let more and more in spend more multiple millions on property purchases, motorbike rental businesses etc etc, then there will be a complete change of heart, they'll boot the majority out, reclaim and resell property to a new bunch"  quite believable,  or maybe if Putin uses tactical nuclear weapons at some point maybe the PM will have different thoughts about the mighty Russian Federation Passport......
