pontious

It would be the same office that you got your extension from.

Not wishing to be awkward (as Jomtien is not my local office), but what do Pattaya & Jomtien residents do if they're out of the area when their 90 day reporting is due?

Pontous said they will not accept postal reporting?

I will be in South Thailand for my 90 day report. (all the 14 day window)

I saw Jomtien Immigration on Friday.

They advised:

1. Report to the local office down South.

2. We can do your report early. I was 11 days before report date.

I chose number 2 so they are flexible if you have a valid reason.

Just for info Chonburi (Jomtien) office do not accept postal reporting.

Belated thank you to Mario and Sydebolle for your replies - I have just visited Chonburi Immigration.

1.Can I report by post - No Chonburi office do not accept postal reporting.

2. Can I report 11 days early - Yes not a problem

For Mario - Not sure what they would do if they recieve a registered envelope report? It might cost Bht 2000 to find out!

Anyone done a 90 day report earlier than '7 days before'?

I use the Jomtien office and have to be with a relative having a serious operation in the south of Thailand and will be away from Jomtien for the 14 day report window.

I will ask immigration later this week but just wondered if anyone had done so for a legitimate reason.

I dont think Jomtien office allow postal reporting.

I would be looking to report 11 days before the actual 90 days.

I can't help you with the repairs. When repairing, pay attention to the subfloor moisture. Timber floor tiles pop due to moisture stress. If your sub-floor (concrete I supposed) is not fully dried, next to bath room etc, the floor tiles take in moisture and dimension changes result in tiles poping. So just don't replace but locate the problem.

Thank you for your advice - I think I will have to replace it all and see what is underneath - probably a well!

Anyone know of any company willing to do repairs? Floor bubbling up.

Most I have tried are only interested in complete floor replacement.

(in Pattaya or Jomtien)

You dont send your passport to HK - only a photocopy

If you live in Trang your nearest office is Songkla -very good service and will send EMS to you in about 3 or 4 days.

You probably know but you have to renew (in person) every 5 years - no more extend 5 years on the biometric ones.

Had to renew my passport (and wifes) so asked by email if Bht 100 was for EMS for both passports or Bht100 each - no reply as yet -36 working days!

Checked with Barry (British Consul in Jomtien) - he said it goes on weight so Bht100 each. Sent Baht200 -recieved all 4 passports back -total EMS postage cost Baht 47 -Ho Hum!!!!

My wifes certificate is falling apart - will she have to replace it in the Amphur she was born in or can a local office do it?

My wifes Birth Certificate is falling to pieces so we want to renew it

Do we have to go to the Amphur who issued it or can we use a nearer office to where we live?

Bangkok Bank charges 0.25% for TT / Where do you get 600 Baht from?

There is one in Songkla if that is more convenient - very efficient.

How tedious - a 2 lane road with 4 lanes of dickheads going eastbound leaving half a lane for people who live here to get out.

Go somewhere else!

E - Passports have been issued for some time - my wife got one in Songkla in 2008

You can still apply (in person ) at the 6 regional offices.

You cannot extend the e passports for 5 years like the old ones - You have to get a new passport.

Do you know the 3 designated office locations?

They will have to be sent to Hong Kong for processing but the same 10 day waiting period is expected to remain from what I have read.

Where did you read that Lop?

Afraid you have lost me.

Do you still have your reciept with the number on? I would visit the place you sent it and not telephone.

I would recommend only sending EMS from a real post office. The ones you find in Shopping Malls are only agents.

Good luck.

Agree with Pat - never a problem with real post offices.

Do they allow access to the road for emergencies during these closures.?

If someone had suffered a heart attack would they allow someone to drive them to a hospital? or allow an ambulance to attend?

I was told the name of the restaurant but it was a Thai name and I have forgotten it. Sorry

It was HRH Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn - he went to a restaurant in Soi 18.

Nok Air are very good. Sort of Thai Baby- crews ,enginerrig done by Thai.

One to Go fly there as well - I would rather walk!!!!!!!!!!!

Trust me I am a pilot

The Jomtien office went through a phase of requiring 'proof of residence'.

My last 90 day ( 5 weeks ago) that had been dropped.

I gave - Passport, completed form - and in and out in 5 minutes.

( keep your lease copy up your sleeve just in case!!) but dont offer it.

What office?

Chonburi - Jomtien
