Man, I'm just trying to assist anyone trying to get through the mill, just like I have to do. Nope, no benefits my way. Just sharing the info I've learned along the way. You haven't disclosed any info on what I suggested earlier may be your real issue. Did you travel abroad recently, yay or nay? And/or perhaps that reminder email is sitting in your spam folder? Did you check that? If it's no and no, then you didn't get sent the email. So the lesson is, take charge of your own immigration matters deadlines, rely on yourself. And no sir, I'm not an apologist for the immigration department.

More info needed. Did you leave the country and return, in say the last three, four months? If so, you have to calculate your reset 90-days calendar yourself, as you will not be sent any email reminding you of a coming due date. Now, if you haven't had any trip, which affects the calendar for the 90 days, then it's one of two things. You were sent a reminder email, and it ended up in the junk/spam folder. Or, they failed to send the email at all. As suggested above, best to track your 90-dayer obligation yourself, and not rely on email notifications about it.

I would guess it's because the return envelope you've enclosed has your address on it? It would seem that mail-in reports may get cut some slack because of that. By the way, just wondering here... Anyone have an experience doing, or attempting to do, a mail-in 90-day report after they have gotten a new passport? Yes, I am aware the word's gone out that the first 90-day report after getting a new passport is supposed to be done in person. (Online attempts in that circumstance get rebuffed, from reports here.)

Was scrolling on facebook yesterday and was treated to a sponsored post from an agency/outfit in Bangkok. Big and bold announcement dedicated to announcing their '90-day reporting service' for foreigners. Not that I'm interested, I do my 90-dayers myself. but I did see the price for the service. 1000 baht is lowest, and seems there are a few price tiers. Not sure about linking policy, mods can remove it if not kosher, I'm just adding it for info purposes. https://www.ptservicesagency.com/en/thailand-90-days-report

Not my area of expertise, but I don't see any reason why a land border bounce would not be doable. You'd use both passports for the exit, they might make some notation in the new passport referencing the 30-day extension, but you would get stamped out, get an exit stamp, in the new passport, I assume. They would also likely do a pairing in their computer system, tying your entry/exit history of the expired passport to the new passport number. Then on the 'come back in' you'd be using the new passport. If that pairing of the history of your expired passport to the new one is not doable at a land border, that might be the reason you were advised to depart by air. It's done at the airport, have had that experience before. Hang on, someone who's had the same situation may come here and offer their experience.

Just about the same. Actually I had an all-time personal best 18-hour turnaround for approval from CW. Nice, the system's working very good. But then about a week later, another email came in, reminding me of the coming due date, that I need to do the report. Since I already had the approval and 'next due date' receipt for early October, I just ignored it. (Oh, I have not left and returned anytime in previous 90 days.) And now the system's down a couple days for 'maintenance', OK. We'll see what comes back. Will that 18-hour turnaround be going bye-bye?

Report on visit to CW for 90 day report
rwilem replied to buick's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Yes, you got it. Some time back, the 90-day system was failing for me and the appointment system was down. It took about four hours from when I arrived till when I was done. Use online appointments for all you can. -

Report on visit to CW for 90 day report
rwilem replied to buick's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Last fall I needed to do the 90-dayer in person, after the online submissions were rejected. I made an appointment and also prepared the form/copies to get a COR at the desk at the same time. After completing the 90-dayer at the B desk dedicated for appointments the clerk refused my request for a COR. No dice. Flatly refused, and told me to get a number at the main 'check-in counter' if I wanted a COR. So I went over and got a number for the COR, served by the slow-moving B desks. It took a couple hours before it was done. Just sharing my experience. Maybe they'll do it, maybe not. Pro tip: I would have been best served by getting a number for the COR right away at the time I arrived to Immigration, as I got there about 45 minutes before my 90-dayer appointment, and killed time downstairs. Lesson: get the number for COR right off the bat. -
Well, just submitted a 90-dayer online with CW. No, not returning from an overseas trip, but kind of expect an issue with the TM 30 cross-check. I rent, and it's hard to get basic cooperation from the agent about this. Took repeated requests to register a TM 30 three years back. Since the announcement of the 'new TM 30 system' (last September, I think) I informed them that a filing in the new system was required. Asked several times, asked also that I get a hard copy of the registration. It's gets to be a drag to ask, "Hey, what about the TM 30?" I never have gotten any copy, but my last online 90-dayer (75 days ago, ha) was approved. So CW is requiring a new TM 30 for returning to your residence even after a domestic days-away stay from it? When you've got your own place, as an owner, OK that's easy enough. For renters, it's just a mess.

Usually, for in-person, the 90-day count until the next due date starts from the day you do the report. But your office may differ, it may count the 90 from the current due date, I've experienced both. But more common to start it on the day you do it, especially when you are doing it after the due date in the grace period. And just to share this info, for online (at least at CW) the 90 day count begins from the day you submit it, and not from the later time (however many days that takes) when an approval is made.

Transferring Visa to a New passport
rwilem replied to steveb5's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I once did that, went to CW immigration soon after getting a new passport solely to have the stamps transferred. The current extension stamp was transferred to the new passport but the unused single re-entry permit was not. When I inquired about that, if I could travel from Thailand since I still had an unused re-entry permit tied the current extension I was told no, that I would need to get another re-entry permit to use for any travel ahead in the next month-and-a-half of that current extension's validity. Whether this was correct or not, it was not really an issue as I did not have any plan for travel abroad in the following six weeks of that stamp transfer occasion. If that is indeed correct about not transferring the re-entry permit, then it doesn't make sense to do the transfer in a rush. But since I have not seen any other reports here of re-entry permits not being transferred, well...perhaps one officer's interpretation, handling, was a bit off at that time. For the next 'new passport and extension stamp transfer' I'll just leave for the time of the next extension. All the docs you need for the transfer are ones you need for the extension, will just have them do 'double duty' that day.
