It's offline again.  So is Khan Academy and many other sites in the US.  The website uses Oracle and wonder if it isn't based in the US.  Either way, it's probably being DDOSed.

Yes, me too.

In total shock.......

 

What time yesterday?  I didn't attempt this until the early evening.

You should start reading at this post where a person was getting that mesage in the pinned topic for online reporting where you will find a lot of useful info.

Not sure what you mean Joe.  I've tried Safari = no good, Firefox, Chrome, and Opera = no good.  It works best in IE, but I can't get to page two.  It accepts the captcha and acts like it is uploading data to the portal, but never renders the 2nd page.  

I even tried to do it on my mobile.  Same thing, can't get past page 1.

Wow, I say today or yesterday and I get last week.  What a mess.

Obviously, when you change the dates, it changes the situation.

 

If you and your son entered on the same date, and neither of you left Thailand in the meantime, then yes, you'd have the same 90 day reporting date.

 

But the point I was trying to make was, a person's 90-day reporting date is totally unrelated to the date of their permission to stay date on their visa.  It's simply calculated 90 days from your most recent entry into the country.

 

Based on the new arrival date you're now mentioning, you're within the 7 - 15 days in advance online reporting period.  It sounds like you need to make a visit to your local Immigration office.

 

 

I would prefer not to.  

I have an O-A Visa.  I do require a residency permit so I can get my driver's license again but that would be one item and I could do that when I choose.  Their system isn't working, and it's a disgrace.  

No one as of yet has told me they were able to make a 90-day report today.

It seems you're confusing some things...

 

First, if you last entered Thailand on Oct. 8 as you wrote above, then you don't have any 90-day report due now (now being Oct. 26)...and the online system isn't going to accept one from you. Every time you enter new into Thailand, the 90-day reporting clock resets to a new 90 period until your next required report. Which if you didn't leave Thailand in the meantime, wouldn't be until approx 3 months after Oct. 8.

 

The timing of your son's O visa has no bearing on your 90-day reporting obligation.

 

 

 

My mistake, it was 08/08/16 - August.  The timing of my son's O visa absolutely has a bearing.  He entered alongside me.  If he has until Nov 5 then my report is also due Nov 5.

I'm due Nov 5

That kind of response from the Immigration website is normally NOT a sign of them having some technical malfunction as occurred the past several days, but rather, the applicant having too old a most recent entry into Thailand or some other kind of information mismatch on one's records.

 

That's typically why you'd be getting the advisory about needing to visit your local Immigration office. And AFAIK, no amount of technical fussing on your end or trying different browsers is going to solve that kind of problem.

 

 

 

 

 

I thought that too, but I got the same popup before populating the page with my data, when I used Chrome.  Using IE, I get the popup after I populate the data and it won't go to the second page.  

Using Chrome, no popup, but it won't go to the second page even though it accepts the captcha now. 

I entered Thailand with my son October 8.  From my son's 90 day O Visa, he was admitted into the Kingdom until Nov 5th.  I assume my 90 day would be the same day.  From that info, it is clear that I am still more than 7 days from having to do the 90 day report and less than 15 days.

It's still broken.

Has anyone else been able to enter a full 90 day report today?

Has anyone been able to enter a 90 day report?  I cannot.  I used IE and I keep getting a popup after the captcha is accepted telling me that for further info I can go to the nearest Immigration office but it won't go past the first page.

Tried it using Chrome on my Mac - and the popup comes up all the time but when it accepts the first page it never renders the 2nd.

Is there an email for the equivalent of 1111?  I say we keep inundating them with email notifications letting them know it is down.

I called 1111 yesterday and got an answer.  I suggest everyone here do the same and suggest to them that they contact their IT people to fix the issue.  Why I had to suggest that I don't know.  I was told just try it again.  

Disgrace.

As of 23:15, it's still down.  A disgrace.

Me to I have tried since Saturday , I reported it this morning. You think they would employ a  guy to service there websites . 

Would you mind telling us what you used to report this?  OS and browser if you please.

Just now, sensei said:

I DID NOT say that Edge works. I was just saying that it is quite strange strange that they have made this online reporting site to work ONLY on IE when even Microsoft itself has abandoned it in favor of Edge.

 

They should have written the code that it should also work with Google Chrome which is more widely used by people who would rather do an online report than travel to the nearest immigration office.

 

I'm a technology consultant.  Every company claims they write their web pages for IE.  Not just here, but the USA as well.  The comment is due to being lazy.  No surprise here.  They learn to support just one web browser and claim that their pages only work with that one.  In some cases, with databases this could be true.

The people behind this just couldn't get this right.

Same as the OP

Couldn't get past the first page too.

 

They insist on using IE when Microsoft itself has ditch this relic in favor of the new Edge browser.

 

Are you saying Edge works?

https://extranet.immigration.go.th/fn90online/online/tm47/TM47Action.do

I cannot get past the first page of the 90-day reporting online because the captcha image won't appear.  I tried several browsers and none function.  I called 1111 and was told "maybe it not working, try later," to which I responded, why don't you let your IT people know the captcha is not functioning.  I was told she would.  

Anyone else have any luck getting it to work?

If you want to get nearly 2 years from this visa you should do exactly as you say in your OP and make your last entry using the visa on or as close to 19 July 2017. Entering, for example, on 19 July 2017 will give you permission to stay until 18 July 2018.

You do not need to apply for an extension of stay until within the last 30 days before 18 July 2018. At that point you can apply for an extension for any reason you qualify for.

Yes, you are quite correct, I meant to change that to 2018. So assuming I leave and enter on the day of expiration, I'll get a whole year more. I will be qualified for all three.

Retirement is 800,000

Marriage is 400,000

What is taking care of a Thai in baht? It will be my son and maybe my then adopted Thai daughter.

• The visa ends on 19 July 2017 and cannot be used after that date or "renewed".

What are the recommended days before 19 July 2017 to extend my stay based on Marriage/Taking care of a Thai/Retirement?

What does immigration mark in your passport? Do they modify the O-A visa or use a different stamp that denotes the extension? Would you mind showing me what it looks like? Getting this damn O-A Visa was horrible. The bank was a pain. My doctor was an idiot about it. It cost me a fortune, but if I can squeak two years out of it, it makes it worth it.

New York is claiming 10 working days for a visa turnaround but in reality, they are turning them around overnight. If you get the paperwork to them in the AM, by presenting it yourself or mailing it to them, they will likely send it out the following day. My paperwork for myself and my son got there 10AM Wednesday and I just got my overnight today, which is Friday.

So now I have my O-A.

Let me correct a few misinformations that I was told along the way.

My O-A visa says I must enter before 19 July 2017. I am sure I was told there was a three-month expiration for using it. By looking at it, I could use it up until almost 1 year from now.

The O Visa for my son says he must enter prior to 19 Oct 2016 which would be three months.

I was told that if I leave and re-enter the country on the day of expiration, that the O-A visa will renew for one more year.

Am I correct in assuming that I DO NOT need to show 800,000b in a Thai Bank for this to happen? Please give me exact info on how to stretch this O-A into a 2 year multiple entry visa. And that is a question, if it renews for another year, does it continue to be a multiple entry visa?

Also, leaving and re-entering on the very last day, can that be done at a land border crossing, or only by air?

Thanks,

Yes, the temporary passport is issued for who lost passport or a child born abroad.

My sister did it for her child in Canberra and no need for parents to be present at the embassy. All can done by post.

The best thing to do is to call the embassy in washington dc or email them.

By the way, why would you like to have the temporary passport since you can go to Thailand with US Passport and then do the ePassport over there?

You are asking a question that I have been thinking about through this entire process. What are the Thai's going to do if my son enters with his US Passport and overstays? We will get him a Thai Passport and ID card when we return to Thailand. He will never have to show his US Passport again, at least not in Thailand and no one outside of Thailand is going to care one whit if he doesn't have an exit stamp from Thailand. So why am going through all this nonsense.

Getting him a Thai passport, for the first time, in Thailand will not have anything to do with the US Passport. Am I incorrect? His US passport will expire in 3 1/2 years anyway so what is the harm? Can someone explain this to me? UBONJOE? If we leave Thailand for Laos, he will leave and enter on his brand new Thai Passport, so where does the US passport come into play at all? He can't be thrown out for being an overstayer, he can't be fined as he is 9 years old and to the Thai's, it's as if he never left Thailand. We just get him a fresh Thai Passport. What more does he need?

What am I missing?

This what it states at the top of the page.

"The temporary passport age 1 year Temporary Passport.

Temporary passports will be issued to the age of one year in the case of Thailand passport is lost or expired. And there is an urgent need to travel abroad without a passport can be issued temporary passports E-Passport, however, there is no restriction machine readable bar code which, if applied to visas. Some countries may not accept "

This page has info about the CI. http://www.thaiembassyuk.org.uk/?q=node/18

It's a 1 year passport. It sounds like the use of these documents is a bit elastic.

As I said I just got off the phone one hour ago with the consular officer in Johannesburg who issues type passports. She told me that they could not issue a certificate of identity without the lost type passport number. So now you're telling me the same thing has to be done for a temporary Thai passport. So unless I can get a phone call answered in either New York or Washington I'm not sure what to do. And when the lady in the Johannesburg asked me why my calling South Africa I told her that the embassies in New York and Washington never pick up the phone and don't answer their email, and she laughed and said yes I know.

I don't know which one is right. The translation from the London embassy doesn't say that it has to be a lost passport for them to issue a Thai passport.

the reality is were leaving August 7 and there isn't enough time to get a regular passport. If he has to he can travel on the US passport but that would be last resort.
