zombie nights Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) I have just started doing my 90-day report to immigration (at CW) Bangkok by post. When sending the registered letter to Immigration by post the teller asked me to provide my passport. Luckily i carry a copy of the passport face page with me and that was acceptable. My question : Is it required that passports be shown by foreigners to the Post office (or copy of passport) when sending registered letters? Or does this only apply when sending registered letters to Immigration? I am not complaining, I am just curious.

ubonjoe Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 A ID of some kind is required for mailing anything at the post office now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asiaexpat Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I was asked also the last time I mailed my 90 day report. First time for this, but not a problem. Noticed the clerks were asking Thais for their ID cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewsterbudgen Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I've been mailing in my reports from Phra Khanong post office for years and have been asked for any form of ID. Maybe things have changed, so will be forewarned next time.Sent from my SM-G930F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUS Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 555.... I didn´t know that I needed my passport or ID when sending a letter so I was really surprised when it happened 1 hour ago at Nana post office. I didn´t have any ID on me so the clerk (luckily) said: "Ok, it´s ok this time. But next time bring ID please." You learn something new all the time.

You can do your 90 day report in person up to 15 days early or 7 days after the report date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwill Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) If you had a thai ID that would work too. Thai's also have to show their ID's when mailing stuff at the post office. Edited August 22, 2018 by rwill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
