  1. hiii. so i'm staying in thailand on a student visa, studying at a uni here, and recently i had made a new passport which i picked up from my embassy. i was given a letter from the embassy to give to immigration so that they could transfer my student visa over to the new passport... until a bunch of stuff happened and i was unable to go. so now i'm stuck with an expired passport/student visa (and an overdue 90-day report), an empty new passport and the embassy's letter. i tried calling immigration many times to ask what i should do but no one picked up (typical). i also asked my university if i needed any letter from them for the student visa renewal (since it's expired. i renewed it last september but it expired this month when my passport did), but they said they're not sure and i should ask immigration. i'd rather not make the trip to immigration without knowing that i have everything ready, because i live very far. i'm not sure what i should do now. this probably sounds like a stupid question but i'm on my own here. does anyone have any advice?

    A little over a week ago as I discussed in another OP I could not do my online report like I have for over the past year.  I was told by @ubonjoe that it was probably because my most current extension of stay was done the month after my current 90 day report was done.  So, with this occurring, I made an on-line appointment for the morning of the 18th at MTT.  I arrived at 8 am for my 8:30 am que, walked right in as I was first in Que, because of the online appointment, and met the IO at his desk.  He took less than 5 minutes to review my passport, my current extension of stay and the soon to be expiring 90 day report I had been able to print out from my last on-line report. I was then given a new 90 day receipt with my next reporting date in April. 

     

    Here is the gist of why I had to report to MTT and do it in person. 

     

    As soon as the new date was given to me by the IO I asked him about the online system, and why it would not allow me to complete the latest 90 day report.  He indicated it was due to my previous extensions date of allowed to stay that I had entered into the form on the database when I did my last 90 day on-line report.  Because of this the system believed I was on overstay, and he told me that unless something changes that I will again have to do it in person the first time after I complete my next extension of stay next November.  As I said he indicated that the system thinks that a person might be on overstay since the previous date of stay allowed until used the old extension one has in their passport, and not the new one  as the Until stay date used had already passed.  Apparently the databases for both the 90 day report and the Extensions of stay are not linked and the 90 day on-line report system will not show your current extension of stay until the IO verifies it and inputs it into the 90 day system.  He then advised me that I should have no problem from now on and I can then do the next three 90 day reports on-line, but after the next extension I will more than likely have to appear in person to show my lovely face.  Crazy that they can not link the two databases and for the 90 day system to see the most current extension of stay.  Just wanted to update you folks as to what the IO said and what my experience was at MTT.  On-line booking for an appointment is the way to go nowadays here in Bangkok. 

    HUH. that actually makes sense, my previous online report was done before my extension last september ... so basically , i need to go to MTT anyway . that was very helpful and explains alot, thank you ! i suppose since everything's in my passport i just need to bring that ? and the old old online report too i suppose..

  3. So back in November 2020 I forgot to do my 90-day reporting before the due date so I went to immigration and had that settled, paid the fine of 0 thb thanks to covid something and got a slip of paper with my new due date which is like February 3rd. The due date is approaching and I can't seem to get it done at all online, on the app it says I've overstayed (that can't be right , my visa expires in September this year) and on the website it just tells me to go to immigration. Of course the 1178 hotline is perpetually busy. This is my second day of trying and I'm not sure what I've done wrong, I'd like to avoid going to immigration if I can help it. Is it me or the system? I'm actually panicking lol
