  1. Just in case anyone else is having a problem uploading their documents, I was unable to upload my documents in pdf format but it worked when I changed them to jpg. I'm using the Chrome browser.
  2. Russia ups its game in the competition to be the hub of 90 day reporting. Let's hope Thai Immigration don't hear about it. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-59820777
  3. The confirmation slip is emailed to you as a pdf file. I save it to my phone.
  4. I have been unable to use the online system or the app since I got a new passport 2½ years ago. First I was told I had to make one report in person and then it would work - it didn't. Then I was told I had to leave the country and make one report in person and then it would work - it didn't. I have tried the app and four different browsers without success, so I have been making in-person reports right through the Covid pandemic (I didn't fancy risking the snail mail option). I registered for the new system when it was announced on Thai Visa the other day, the process was clear, simple and quick. Yesterday I successfully submitted my report in the morning (using Chrome), also very straightforward, and received my confirmation in the late afternoon. The most amazing thing is that after 20 years of constantly having to provide more documents and information than in the previous year for the same process at Immigration, the new system REDUCES the requirements! The form no longer requires your TM6 number, the mode of transportation by which you entered Thailand, your flight number or equivalent, your type of visa, and the date to which you are permitted to stay. I can only hope that if this crazed reduction in bureaucracy doesn't cause the collapse of Thai civilisation in, say, the next six months, they might consider extending the approach to other processes. Imagine no longer having to provide 20 pages of photocopies of documents that they already have from every previous year's application to extend your permission to stay...
  5. A very similar thing happened me yesterday in Bangkok. My wife was told over the phone that I needed a residence letter from my embassy or immigration or the district office. We got the one from the district office, free and much easier to get to than immigration and they give it to you immediately. When we got to the DLT they said that if I used that letter, I would be issued with a licence that is only valid in Bangkok. For anyone applying for the letter at Bangkok immigration, note that you have to go to the 90 day building at Muang Thong Thani, not Chaengwattana. As we found out when we got to Chaengwattana. I also did not receive a receipt.
