Thanks. I have filed my report by mail for the last couple of years. Because of the passport change, I must file in person this year. I've never seen the 90-day report station this busy. I have seen 70-80 people waiting but 314 waiting boggles the mind. I wonder what will happen to people who can't file their reports because of the crowding. Since each person takes about four minutes, 100 would take 400 minutes. If the two windows work constantly, 100 people would take 200 minutes or about three and a half hours. Of course there are delays and pauses. I hope the backlog is cleared by next week so I can go in and report on Monday or Tuesday.

You will find a lot of information on websites devoted to histamine intolerance. There are conflicting opinions as to whether it can be cured or not. Another possibility is that you may have C. Difficile. There are antibiotics to treat that and I am taking one right now. I also take Prevacid to keep the acidity of my stomach low. With a hiatal hernia I must keep the reflux into my throat mild. Also, I recently found that some of my allergic symptoms appear to be caused by the E. Coli pneumonia in the lower left lobe of my lung. It’s proving to be a tough bug to kill. It’s resistant to many antibiotics. I may need another hospitalization and more IV antibiotics to kill it. Pneumonia is easily discovered by a chest x-ray. I have one every two weeks. It’s not easy to be an 80-year-old senior citizen.

Thanks to the appointment system, I was able extend my stay and register a new passport at Chaeng Wattana in about an hour today. My understanding is that after registering a new passport, you must do your first 90-report in person. Mine is due on the 20th so I headed over to the 90-day report section at 1430. I was given a queue number of 534 with 314 people waiting ahead of me. Each person was taking 4-5 minutes so I could see that I wouldn’t be able to report today. What are my reporting options? It’s right after Songkran so maybe it’s especially crowded. Are there any other reporting locations besides Chaeng Wattana? I don’t want to spend a whole day there just to file my report. I’ve got eight days to figure it out. Any advice would be much appreciated.

You may have histamine intolerance. Google it.

I'm glad that it worked easily for you. I encountered the various problems that I enumerated but was successful eventually by using a digital data (SIM) connection. Perhaps if I had selected "book" before looking for the available times, it would have worked but nobody suggested that particular procedure.

What seemed to work was scrolling to the bottom of the page first, selecting a date and then scrolling back up to select the category (Extension Visa for Retirement).and clicking it multiple times.

Thanks, All. I completed my booking using the SIM in my iPad for the Internet connection. After selecting the date at the bottom, I returned to the type button (Extension Visa for Retirement) and clicked it a number of times. The times available eventually appeared and I took the 1:00 slot. I received the confirmation in my email and printed out a hard copy so I'm good to go.

Switched from Chrome to Edge but still can't get any times for April 18. VPN is off.

I turned off my VPN and tried again with no luck on April 13 or any later date. Using hotel WiFi here but it hasn't caused me any problems for the past year. I also just updated Windows.

Thanks. Tried again with no results. Could my VPN be causing the problem?

Thanks, Dr Jack54. I Selected Extension Visa for Retirement but after clicking on the OK, I can't get any times to appear for April 18. None appear for earlier and later dates either.

Chaeng Wattana. I am using the link at outlook.office365.com/owa. Thanks.

I am trying to make a reservation to extend my period of stay but the website doesn't seem to be working correctly. I choose Extension Visa for Retirement, Choose April 18 but when I click on the date or any neighboring dates, I get the error message Selected Date - No Information. Is anybody else having problems or know what is wrong? Thanks. I am using the outlook.office365.com site.

Is there any time limit for transferring stamps? Can it be done three months after receiving the new passport when renewing extension of stay?

So with an appointment any day is good? I'll plan to reserve an April day soon after they open up in March. Thanks.

There is lots of negative news about Pfizer on YouTube. Might be worth having a look.

What is the best day for an appointment in mid-April? I would like to renew my extension soon after April 15th when I am finished filing my taxes online. I will require the transfer of my stamps to a new passport at the same time. I generally go just after the lunch hour. Any advice will be appreciated..

Beware the power of your own libido. Once you are hooked, you will find it very difficult to refuse a request from her. Many men don't understand their vulnerability and, of course, NEVER want to have any suspicious thoughts..

May I ask one more question? Do the stamps in my passport need to be updated in a timely manner?. I don't plan to travel out of Thailand until the middle of the summer. I anticipate that I will receive my new passport around the middle of February. I will go to Chaeng Wattana to get a new extension around the middle of April. I would like to have my stamps updated then but will go to have them transferred earlier if necessary. Thanks for your help.

Thanks everyone. I successfully got a 100 baht bank draft from Bangkok Bank yesterday. I was surprised by the amount of paperwork that the bank teller had to do to produce the draft. She very cheerfully went through it all. I like the good service at Bangkok Bank.

Hi Dr.Jack, Do you happen to know the amount to be put on the envelope to return my passport to me from the US Embassy? I have the photos and paperwork ready to go but can’t find the postage required for the return envelope. I assume that it must be sent by registered mail but can’t find the details anywhere. Thanks.

Thanks very much. I will be getting a new passport soon so I will try online after one mail-in report after I get the new passport..

Is any sized SSA return letter for the 90 day report OK? This time I had only a #9 envelope and affixed my 10 Baht stamp to it. I usually send a #7 envelope. I hope that the larger sized envelope does make the 10 Baht postage insufficient. Immigration doesn't specify an envelope size and 10 Baht covers 100 grams and under. Does anyone know if the envelope size and postage are OK?

Sorry, my mistake. It IS 15 days before and 7 days after.

Obviously, if you have no permission to stay in the kingdom, you have no days to report. It's only with a valid permission to stay that you must report your presence in the kingdom every ninety days.
