First post here. Thank you for the acceptance.
Looking for a little guidance and hopefully some knowledge of leniency shown by the Chonburi Immigration Office in Jomtien. Regarding my 90 day reporting. On Friday following online submission of my TM47 I later received a rejection email. No reason was offered but I was told to attend in person to my local immigration office immediately, tomorrow being my first possible opportunity.
I looked at my submitted form then realised I may have input the incorrect date of arrival in Thailand. I entered the country in late October 2023 and quickly gained a Non O Immigrant and Multiple entry visa. However my partner and I had a one week vacation in Vietnam returning mid May 2024 and it appears I should have input this date of arrival rather than the initial entry into Thailand last October.
I then submitted another TM47 with the returning from Vietnam arrival date of May 2024. I accessed the Thai Immigration website to check my TM47 progress and again seen it was rejected, an email soon followed once again telling me to attend local office in person.
Here's the problem. When I accessed the website I noticed that my last TM47 submission in July (The first one I had ever applied for online) had also been rejected and I had no knowledge of this. I never received a rejection email (checked back through my junk mail, nothing). When I submitted the last one I just received screen notification of "Success" and I foolishly thought that everything had gone through correctly. So as it sits, through my own lack of knowledge on how this crazy system works I find that I have lived in Thailand for the past 90 days unreported and I was entirely unaware the whole time. Not through ignorance, just unfamiliarity with the online process.
Now i'm assuming they want me to attend in person and to accept a fine. How lenient are they with cases such as mine? There must have been dozens of folks out there who have done something similar?
Any constructive guidance happily accepted. Thank you for reading.
