onera1961 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I am going to Thailand on a Non O-A (long stay) ME visa. I will be living in Bangkok. Is there any agent in Bangkok who does 90-day reporting for a reasonable price, e.g. not more than 1000 baht? In my opinion the 90-day reporting, even when three is no address change, is oppressive and the fine for not doing so is also ridiculously high. I know there are mail in and online options. How reliable are they? I mean do people have issues of immigration not getting mail in/online documents, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean do people have issues of immigration not getting mail in/online documents, etc. You send the mailed in report by registered mail or EMS to immigration which is proof you sent the report by showing the receipt for it. You can also track to see if was delivered. Never heard of anybody being fined for late reporting when done by mail. When you do online reporting you get proof it was done and it is pending that can be printed out. So again not a problem. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenny2017 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) I never understood why so many people rely on agents for very easy things like sending in a TM 47 form with an envelope. Please see TM 47 attached.

Because that is an extra chore and I may forget. The agent may call me to remind as my doctor's office does Edited April 8, 2018 by onera1961 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Bangkok immigration insist that it be mailed 15 days before the report date. Even if less they process it and put a notice with the receipt when is mailed to do it earlier. Other offices want it to be received 7 days before the report date which the official rule. Some will even accept them up to the report date.
