Same just happened to me. Last time I did my 90 days at the Phuket drive-through. Applied online this morning, got a response this afternoon: "Your application for "STAYING LONGER THAN 90 DAYS" has been rejected. Others (Please specify)Please submit 90 days report in person because your extension is in another province." No it's not. The system is screwed again.

Arick, how long have you been in Thailand? Where do you do your extension of stay? I've lived in Thailand for 25 years and you're wrong. I'm not talking <deleted> or <deleted>. The rules often change. And the rules can vary from one province to another. When I first came here no-one in Phuket was required to do 90-day reports. Then the rules changed. Immigration first introduced the bank book requirement a few years after that as a way of rooting out farang khee nok, who had less than the required minimum B800k in the bank. Some people got around this by borrowing B800k the day before the 90 report, then paying it back (with interest) the next day, after reporting. Immigration got wise to this fairly quickly and demanded proof of B800k two months before extension of stay and 3 months after. So when you go to extend your one-year, you have to get statements from your bank, covering the 2 months before, showing you have B800k+ right through that period. They also usually required you to go to the Immi office in person to do your next 90 day report and show them the bank book, updated on the day, to prove you still had a record of B800k+ over the 5 months. That stopped people borrowing, as the interest would be too much of a burden. That's what happened the past three times that I went to Srisaket Immi office to renew my stay. In my original post I was trying to find out whether the "no bank book required" applied countrywide or just in Phuket. I suspect the new "no bank book" requirement in Phuket is an attempt for them to unclog their office. But I don't know. But so far no one has responded with their location, so their answers are not useful. They're particularly useless when delivered with insults. So if you want to contribute to this conversation, please state where you do your extension of stay. That would be useful to other people. And behave like an adult.

Just did that. My permit to stay now runs out in August, same date as my passport expires, whereas my previous renewal expired in Nov. They gave me the extension, but only until the date my passport runs out.

I'm on a one-year stay in Thailand on Non-O retirement basis. My wife and I have two homes, one in Srisaket and one in Phuket. Until today, I thought I knew the drill: 1. Apply at Immigratiuon (TM) in person to renew one-year stay, supported by bank book and bank statements. 2. At the same time, TM starts the clock for 90 days, and staples a 90-day reminder in the passport. 3. This stipulates that, at the end of the 90 days, I have to visit TM again, with passport and bank book. 4. 90 days and 180 days after that, I can do the 90-day reports online. (It's always worked fine for me.) But. But... Back in Phuket, I went today to Phuket Town TM with passport and updated bank book. Using the drive-through lane the procedure was very quick - about 3 mins. Excellent. But the officer was not at all interested in my bank book. He took only my passport. So does this mean I could have done my 90-day report online and saved myself 2 hours of Phuket traffic pain? I'd be interested to hear from others who've had this experience, as well as others who have successfully done an online report at the end of the first 90 days after renewal of stay. Is it just Phuket? Or other places too? I have seen stories that Immi is keen to get people to use the online system to unclog their offices, especially when it comes to free services. So maybe this revision of the rules is aimed at achieving that? But please, let's not make a big thing of this, in case it results in the rules/procedures being rolled back.

So I went to the source:CPMeiji. Their response: Hello!
