Thanks on that. I get the terminology screwed up, but I'm aware of the difference. I just wanted to make sure that one trip to the immigration office tomorrow with only a  TM47 will make them happy. Consensus here says yes so Ill go tomorrow.

Thanks for your help.

If you don't mind checking my understanding...

I just go in for one fairly quick 3 month renewal, and be done. All they require is a TM47. The TM47 seems just to want to know when I got here and where I'm staying. (I haven't been out of Thailand since I got here 9 months ago.)

Thanks again for the help. I want to get it right because Ive been fairly sick and want to keep it simple. (Dont want to take chances with the mail route at the moment, though thanks.)

I'm 70, got my “Non-IMM“/“Immigration Thailand Re-entry Permit.“ stamp (printed in passport) in June (good for a year inside the country with in-country renewals every 3 months), had my first renewal on August 30th at BKK immigration, and now have to do my second renewal. This one requires information apparently about my activities in that last 3 month period, if I understand it. (Ive been inside Thailand for 9 months.)

What do I bring or provide to BKK Immigration? I would like to do it all with one visit. Thanks much!

So pretty in scarlet.

They're not afraid to lie and then pretend it was all a big joke. (I guess what I'm saying is I like a girl with a sense of humor (who's often on drugs which is why she needs to lie to pay for them))

Like the "third rail" on the BTS, it's the hot one.

That's not confusion.

Big breasts, and sometimes really big clitorises, 6" or more. And what those clits can DO!!!

Funny and I get your point, but Linux has "garbage collection" so it cleans your sheets too. :)

Big balls!

It's big, warm and hard but doesn't make the sheets dirty.

Sure, she is probably having a great time of her own when you are gone.

Also as it should be. The expectation that one person can provide you with everything you need out of life (and forever) has naturally led to our divorce crazy societies.

I too have tried many different distros. I was pretty happy with Mint but got bored with it. I now have Zorin on my laptop and netbook. Zorin works pretty well on my low powered netbook and even better on my laptop. I am using SSD's on both machines.

Thanks. Never heard of Zorin, but then new distros are coming out all the time. The linux world is a democracy, alive, inventive, chaotic and sometimes unstable, but I much prefer it to the dull greedy totalitarianism of Windows or Apple. I like Android too, on my phone and for the same reasons (and they use Linux as a foundation...about to change), though Google has turned evil. I'm hoping for a good Linux distro for my android someday. "Software wants to be free".

Actually "Ubuntu Mate", not listed. It has the support and stability of Ubuntu (and wide user base to resolve questions easily) but using Mate as a desktop rather than the usual (and to me ugly and inefficient) standard Ubuntu desktop ("Unity", which Ubuntu has decided to ditch).

I've used many other versions, starting with Slackware in 1994, at a time when you had to compile your kernel if you wanted to add a new device driver. (I was a software engineer by trade so it was a natural, having used Unix a lot at work.)

I'm 70 now, so the stability and user base of Ubuntu is a good fit.

Thanks all. Much appreciated.

Sorry, now I'm confused 

 

Lopburi3 gave nice clear instructions regarding postal reporting.

 

I am just saying that IF you do go outside of Thailand at any point, then the dates for the reporting change, the report is ONLY if you are actually in Thailand for 90 consecutive days.

Right, and thanks. And what you say clarifies when I have to do these things. And I do saunter around to other countries sometimes, which will lighten the admin load here. :) cheers!

How do you mean after your first reentry? 

As I stated before, if you depart from Thailand at any point, then the 90 days begin from (and include) the day you come back in to Thailand.

So if you leave Thailand before 30th August 2017, you will NOT need to report the 90 days on that date, the next report would be 90 days from the day you come back.

For example, If you happen to travel a lot and are not in Thailand for 90 consecutive days in any one period between now and your extension renewal date, you would not need to report for the 90 days.

I just meant such things as this, illuminated by lopburi3 above:

. Copy of any travel/return stamps (update copy as required)

. Copy of arrival card (update after each travel)

You send them:

Stamped (10 baht) return env with your delivery address

Copy of passport data page

Copy of entry visa/stamps

Copy of latest extension of stay

Copy of any travel/return stamps (update copy as required)

Copy of arrival card (update after each travel)

Your last receipt for reporting (for next report include that page they attached to your passport)

Right on the money. Thanks. "I guess the patient will live another year".

You will be doing a 90 day report that is not a renewal of your extension of stay.

Just read the part titled "Notification by registered mail". 

Right.

You do not have number 3 on that list but that is not a problem since it is your first report.

But presumably it will be a problem after my first re-entry, so I'm supposed to submit this pile of past "notifications" (number 3 on that list) for every 90 day reporting? (which means I've got to send them in, which hopefully they'll return, so I can resend them in for subsequent 90 day reports?) Tell me I'm hopelessly confused :)

Ubon---

Yeah, sorry about that (trouble getting both photos to show up, so I had to commit to see how it would look before continuing to write the post).

So I use TM47 for the 3 month "renewal" of my 1 year "permission to stay", and follow the "word salad" on http://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/base.php?page=90da. (no criticism of you, mind)

Thanks again. Fortunately I've got friends who do this all the time so I'll have "real world examples" to go on, since Thailand bureaucrats seems to belong to another planet at times.

cheers,
